Introduction: For over 25 years, my goal has been to bring the joy of music through the piano to each student to the best of their ability and desire. Alfred's basic piano library provides a perfect fit for any student. Alfred's basic piano library is the most flexible of any piano method, allowing the teacher to personally design a curriculum for specific age groups, and to meet the needs of each individual student. All of the beginning series are interchangeable at several levels; if a student demonstrates that he or she is ready to study at a faster pace, or perhaps requires a slower pace with more reinforcement, you may switch courses at convenient junctures in the method without missing any important musical concepts!
