Excellent piano method, Mar 11 2009

This review is from: Alfred's Basic Adult All-in-One Course, Bk 3: Lesson * Theory * Solo (Plastic Comb)
I am nearing the end of Alfred's All-in-one Book 1, so have only browsed this book. But, I can comment on what I like about the methodology and the books:1. The progression of theory, exercises, and performance materials is very well thought out. When Palmer says this exercise should be practiced daily, do it. It really helps improve your technical skills.
2. The quality of the construction is high - big easy to read notes and spiral bound so the book lays flat on the piano music stand.
3. The songs are interesting and varied, introducing different genres of music.
The only slight drawback is there is ample opportunity to improvise on a number of the songs and try your hand at composing, but Palmer does not point this out. It is definitely worth doing, really reinforcing a thorough understanding of chords, keys, chord inversions, and other concepts introduced in the text.

Great for "older" children too., July 9 2010
By D. Wheatley - Published on Amazon.com
I am a piano teacher and have been using this series with a very mature, serious minded child since she was eleven years old. She's been taking piano for two years and is ready for Level 3. I am using Suzuki materials with her too. She just began Level 4 in it. This book is not "babyish", so she liked practicing in it from the start. It moves along quickly, and since she practices regularly and is a member of band at school, she is making rapid progress. The solos are excellent for her sight reading skills. As new major and minor keys are introduced, I encourage her to play the exercises in more than one key, which reinforces the ear training she receives with Suzuki. It's an excellent course!
