Prep Course For the Young Beginner: Lesson Book Level C Paperback – June 1, 1990

Good book for my little 6 years old. He is doing well with the big page and colorful book.

It's Alfred. Can't go wrong! Great selection of tunes (ones I learned on as a kid are still there--just with updated artwork!), colorful pages, and appropriate expectations as the student advances through the book.

As a piano teacher, this is one of my favorite lesson books to work with beginners. After a student completes a primer level book, I normally use this book before heading into a level 1 book. The first chapter, all songs are written in C Major. The next session all of the songs are in middle c position, and the last part of the book is in low G major. I tend to begin in the middle of the book and play all of the songs written in middle c position, then moving to the beginning of the book (c major songs). Each song as a teacher duet, and most of the songs are familiar tunes - which is alway helpful when teaching a beginner.

As a piano teacher for a dozen years, the Alfred Prep series is perfect for my young students. I use the Prep series to start any of my students in Kindergarten or First grade. It teaches them good beginning skills and moves at a good pace.

The Alfred's Basic Collection Library works really well for my piano students. I highly recommend any material from this library.

Can't go wrong with Alfred books. I'm a piano teacher for young students and these books are perfect. I love the combo of a lesson and theory book. These books are wonderful for students under the age of 8. I like the Level 1A and 1B books for older children.

I got this for my step-daughter. I have taught piano and love using Alfred's courses. Good for beginners to learn.
