Alfred Piano Method
An Introduction!


Alfred method provides a variety of books for various age groups - ranging from the Primer (3-5 year olds) to older beginners (5-6 years old), to adults. This method is based on the traditional method of learning to play the piano. When I say traditional, I mean you learn to play piano by learning to read written music, right from the beginning.

Alfred's Basic Piano Course

(Ages 7-11)
Alfred's Basic course is spread over seven levels: 1A, 1B, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Each level has a set of books: Lesson, Theory, Recital (longer solos), Technique, Ear Training, and Repertoire (classical pieces). The various concepts are tied across the sets of books by providing reference page numbers. In each book, it tells the teacher where to find the corresponding pages in the other books. This makes it easier to coordinate topics spread across multiple books.

Alfred's Basic Piano Course for the Later Beginner

(Ages 8-10)
The Alfred piano method also offers a Basic All-in-One course, which is a chord-based course.
There are 3 levels in this course, with Lesson books, Theory Books, Fun Books, Technique Books, Recital Books, and Ear Training books for each level. The levels are fewer and chords are introduced early on, this is because the late beginners normally get impatient soon and they enjoy progressing more rapidly.

Alfred’s All-In-One Adult Piano Course


Lessons, theory, and technique - all in one book! The Alfred piano method All-in-One Adult course is one of the most popular adult course out there.

The book includes helpful finger exercises as well and like many methods, the Alfred Adult books make good use of older songs. So, many younger adults may find that the music is dated, older adults would enjoy it!

Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course


The Alfred's basic books cover the same concepts and structure as the All-in-One books, but in separate volumes. This allows the more serious adult learner to get a more in-depth theory and technique study. You have two versions because some learners like to get into the details of the theory whereas some of them are happy with getting started with the piano songs at the earliest -:)

Alfred publishes lot of supplemental books as well to help you apply the concepts and techniques that have been learnt in your normal lessons. Finger Aerobics, Sacred Music, All-Time Favorites, Pop Songs, Country, Ear Training, Notespeller, and Sight Reading are some of the books you could refer to if you are looking for more.
