​Alfred's Basic Piano Library offers nine perfectly graded beginning series which are designed to prepare students of all ages for a successful musical learning experience. With the exception of Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course, which is complete in itself, all of the beginning series are interchangeable at several levels, and lead into the main Alfred's Basic course, which is complete through level 6 (seven levels all together). This course, then, is the most flexible of any method in allowing the teacher to personally design a specific curriculum according to the age and needs of each individual student. On completion, the student is ready to begin playing the great piano masterworks.
