Piano Lessons

Alfred's Basic Course

We will be using Alfred's Basic Piano Course as the primary books for our piano lessons.  Music theory (how to read notes, hear intervals, and understand chords) is taught in the context of a progressing series of classical, folk, country, jazz, spiritual, and patriotic songs to make students fall in love with the piano and with music.  Parents will soon hear their children not only playing, but singing and whistling these tunes at home!  By the end of Level 6 of this course, students are ready to learn and perform standard classical repertoire at an advanced intermediate level, as well as play any church hymn with ease. The Basic Piano Course is made up of 7 levels (1A, 1B, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), each level with 4 books: a Lesson Book (pictured above), a Recital Book, a Theory Book, and a Technic Book.  Click the link above for more details about this series.



Alfred's Basic All-in-One Course
Alfred's Basic All-in-One Course is a 5-part series that combines the most important pages of the separate Lesson, Recital, and Theory books from the Basic Course Levels 1 & 2 (pictured in red, green, and light brown above) into single "all in one" books so that students only have to bring one book to and from lessons.  These five consecutive All-in-One books prepare students to enter Level 3 of the Basic Course (pictured in yellow above).
