I have used Alfred's prep and basic piano course for about 30 years. In my opinion, the level D book gets too difficult, too quickly, so I switch to a different curriculum for 3 book, and then come back to level 2 of Alfred.

I have used many methods in my 58 years of teaching piano and I find Alfred's Basic Piano Course Books the favorite of many students. ... so I will always try to buy Alfred's books.

I've been teaching piano for over 10 years. The last four years I've been using Alfred's Basic Piano Course as the main curriculum of my studio and I've been very pleased. I've had experience with Bastien and Faber as well, but Alfred continues to be my favorite. I like the simple, uncluttered lay-out of the pages and the pictures are entertaining but not dominating. Each new piece requires more from the student and challenges them towards musical growth, but doesn't move along so quickly as to overwhelm them. I actually remember using a few of these books back when I was a little girl taking piano lessons. Some of my favorite pieces back then were from this curriculum. I would recommend this to any teacher or student of the piano.
