Alfred Method is great for beginner students . . . and teachers!
I would call myself a beginner piano teacher, as I play the piano myself but have had no instruction as to how to teach others to play. I now have four beginner students, whom I have been teaching for a little over a year. I love the Alfred method. The four books: technic, lesson, solo/recital, and theory all seem to really work well together. The songs coordinate with each other, so for each new concept taught in the lesson books, the student has a warm-up, a solo piece, and some theory work to back it up. I find this to be very effective. It gives the students a chance to see several examples of each concept, and practice each new concept in different ways until they achieve perfection with it. It also really walks the teacher through each concept very clearly, giving definitions for musical terms and clear instructions for which songs go together. I feel like the order in which concepts are taught also makes a lot of sense. Overall, it's a good method for a teacher who doesn't know a whole lot about HOW to teach another person to play the piano! I currently have some of my students on this level, and others on the regular beginner levels. I love how all of the different levels are interchangeable, so gifted students can advance more quickly, and students who need a little extra reinforcement can stay on the lower levels. The map for how this all works is on the back of all of the books, which you can see on the book preview. So many great things about Alfred!
Good book
Value for money
My nine year old is making good progress.
Could be her teacher or the book, but my kid is making much better progress than with her previous book (and teacher).
alfreds beginner prep book
the exercises and the information is helpful to new students.. and the price is right
Great for very young learner.
I like the fact that the books in each level such as Lesson, note spelling and solo move along with the same lesson plan. I especially like that it take an 8 yr old child slowly and constantly reaffirming each musical term and meaning.
Great lesson books
The lessons in these books are great. My daughter has been a great job learning the piano in her first year so far. I would recommend these to
