AlfredRolling Stone Easy Piano Sheet Music Classics Volume 1 (Book)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An easy-piano songbook of classics from the Rolling Stone catalog. For pianists past the method-book stage who want recognizable songs they can actually finish.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adult beginners who want real songs, not exercises
- Students moving off a method book into repertoire
- Casual players who read notation slowly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Pianists wanting note-for-note original recorded parts
- Guitarists — this is piano notation, not tab
- Players who read only chord charts or lead sheets
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Volume 1 of a two-volume set
Stands alone. Volume 2 is a separate collection, not a continuation you need to complete this one.
Detail 03
Printed book, not digital
Lies on the music desk without a tablet stand or app subscription. Binding may need breaking in to stay open.
Detail 04
ISBN 9780739052365
Use this to confirm you're getting Volume 1 rather than the near-identically titled Volume 2.
Detail 05
Alfred publication
Standard educational engraving — large notes, generous spacing, fingering marked. Easier to read at a distance than pop folios.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What level do I need to play this?
Late beginner. You should read both clefs, know basic note values, and manage simple hand-position shifts. It is not a first book.
02Are the songs the full original arrangements?
No. These are easy-piano reductions — melody plus a simplified accompaniment. Recognizable to a listener, but not the recorded piano part.
03Do I need Volume 2 as well?
No. Each volume is a separate set of songs. Buy either one first; there's no learning sequence between them.
04Are chord symbols included?
Alfred easy-piano editions are written in standard notation. If you play only from chord charts, this format will not suit you.
