Detail 01
1B, not 1A
Picks up where 1A stops. Starting here without 1A leaves gaps in note reading and hand position.

AlfredPremier Piano Course, Lesson Book 1B
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Second half of the first-year book in Alfred's Premier Piano Course. For students who have finished 1A, not for absolute beginners.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Piano students continuing directly from Lesson Book 1A
- Teachers running the Premier course with first-year students
- Adults restarting piano who already read basic notation
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Complete beginners — start at 1A instead
- Students on a different method; the sequencing won't line up
- Players wanting sheet music of specific songs

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between 1A and 1B?
1A is the first half of level one and starts from scratch. 1B continues from it with harder material.
02Can a beginner start with 1B?
Not recommended. It assumes the reading and hand-position work covered in 1A.
03Is this the only book I need?
It's the core lesson book. The course includes separate theory, technique and performance books your teacher may assign.
04Does it work on a keyboard?
Yes, if the keyboard has enough keys for the pieces. A full-size weighted instrument is better for technique.
