Product Details
The Alfred Basic Piano Library Course Pack Level 1A consists of four essential books: Lesson, Theory, Technic, and Notespeller, tailored for beginner piano students. This comprehensive approach emphasizes correct playing habits and intervals, making it especially useful when guided by a teacher. The included Lesson Book starts with keyboard topography and helps learners fluently recognise white key names alongside black keys.
Students will engage in simple rhythms while preparing for intervallic reading through enjoyable pieces that illustrate concepts such as “same,” “stepping up,” and “stepping down.” As the lessons progress, learners will be introduced to lines and spaces in treble and bass clefs, along with melodic and harmonic intervals ranging from 2nds to 5ths, culminating in reading on the grand staff. The course also familiarises beginners with flat and sharp signs.
