The only downside is that a lot of the songs are cheesy (eg: Kum-Ba-Yah, Michael Row The Boat Ashore). that and my lessons have made me realize how much in terms of technique the Alfred book seems to be missing. Devo dizer que quando comprei o livro já havia iniciado aulas de teoria, o que certamente tem me ajudado, mas em contrapartida a didática deste livro, que para mim é excelente, tem me ajudado a compreender melhor as aulas teóricas, talvez até pelo fato de que as expressões em inglês fazem muito mais sentido do que as em português (bequadro x natural, ligadura x tied notes, etc.Other popular series include the Piano Adventures for adults and the John Thompson piano course, both of which I plan to cover on this channel in the coming months.

It is a greatly expanded version of Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course that will include lesson, theory, and technique in a convenient, "all-in-one" format. In general, I think any method book that you select is going to have some songs you really like and some songs that are less interesting to play. But after being exposed to some of the pieces in Alfred's I'm becoming interested in other genres which includes classical pieces. Getting yourself through each of the Alfred’s Adult Piano Courses 1-3 will give you a really great foundation to playing the piano that you can continue to build upon and come back to anytime you need to refresh a particular concept or technique that you are having some trouble with.If you’re only used to playing chords with your left hand, it’ll be a rude awakening when you attempt your first Baroque or Classical dance piece, where the left hand makes big leaps and follows its own path (instead of being led along by the right-hand melody).
