Alfred's Basic Adult All Time Favorites 1: 52 Titles to Play and Sing (Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course)

This is not the first Alfred's music book I have bought. I have the basic course books and found them really useful. As for this one it's really good because; the music is a reasonable size and easy to read, the songs sound right (some music one buys is simplified too far and sounds poor), there are odd hints to explain more obscure musical symbols (eg // for small pause). Finally the price was good. I would prefer to see the tempo expressed in beats per minute to give an exact idea of the authors' aspiration for the sound, but this is not vital to the use and enjoyment of the music. Besides which I can't play very fast anyway.

This supplements the adult book 1Great fun, thank you

Enjoying picking out some nice tunes to play at a beginner level (only been playing for a couple of months!). It makes a good companion to the Alfred Self-Teach book.

Excellent book, goes well with the Alfred's adult piano course book that I am working through now.

Would get five stars but too many repeats from other Alfred Course books.

Good learning tool and interesting songs

Good Selection of Music and at a good level of competence, having recently taken up learning to play the piano again after learning when I was a child

It is many years since I tried to learn piano. This course has me playing pieces of music that I am familiar with very quickly.

This book is a perfect compliment to Alfred's Complete Adult Course. I had taken piano as a child and then forgot everything until a few months ago. I'd printed things off the internet and got a couple of other basic books. The I found Alfred's course which covers everything. My hands are remembering and the books are keeping me in line. I just needed more practice at a particular level and that is where the song book came in. It gives you that in big beautiful print. I love all kinds of old music and the song choices are right up my alley. I am impressed. Alfred is my new best friend.

It arrived quickly, and the book is in good shape like new even it says used. Order a new one will take a month to arrive , this order arrived in two days, I am happy.

If you go on Youtube and type in the title of this book, you'll find a middle aged man teaching and demostrating in series of videos of EVERY SINGLE song in this book, that's why I bought the book.

easy to pick up, step by step

I am an older person who knows a bit about piano but want to learn more. This book has been great for that. It takes you step by step but more quickly, which I like.
