      Synopsis

      Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course is designed for the adult beginner who wishes to learn the piano by playing chords quickly. The course has a number of features that make it particularly successful in achieving this goal. It progresses very smoothly, with no gaps that cause the skipping of hard sections. In addition, it teaches chords for both hands. Because of this, the pieces in Alfred's Basic are more musical and make playing a richer, more rewarding experience.

      Also taught is the understanding of how chords are formed. Instead of memorizing chords, students learn how to derive them regardless of what key they are playing in. Finally, the choice of song material is outstanding, with some popular and familiar favorites mixed with tuneful originals, all adding to the fun and enjoyment of making music.

      The Alfred CD made especially for use with this book will allow you to hear each piece exactly as it should be played with or without an instrumental accompaniment. You will enjoy playing along with the piano parts and accompaniments.

      January 12, 2008: I have used this book with several adults students and they really enjoy it. I tell them they are going to play both Beethoven and Elvis before their first lesson is over! The book comes either with or without cd. I have never used the cd, so I can't speak about its value. I highly recommend you use the Theory book along with the lesson book. You can tailor lessons to each student's interests by supplementing with Alfred's books of pop tunes, hymns, all-time favorites, etc. I aslo like using the adult duet book. They can use it after just a few lessons, and it gives them a real feeling of accomplishment to play the duets.
