Start your piano journey with confidence using Alfred’s Basic Adult Piano Course: Lesson Book 1. Designed especially for adults, this bestselling method takes a chord-based approach, allowing students to move beyond single-note melodies and play fuller, more satisfying arrangements right from the start.
The book introduces chords in both hands alongside traditional notation, building skills step by step. While perfect for self-learners, it’s most effective when used with the guidance of a teacher or experienced musician.
