Alfred's Basic Piano Prep Course: Technic Book F

Alfred’s Basic Piano Library was created to be a musically sound and enjoyable method series for beginning pianists of all ages. The Basic Piano Prep Course was designed for young beginners, typically five years or older. The selections in the Prep Course take into account the shorter attention spans and smaller hands of the young beginner. Many of the pieces have teacher/parent play-along duets to enhance the student’s joy of making music. Colorful illustrations accompany nearly every selection and help make the music concepts come to life. New musical terms and concepts are highlighted as they are introduced so that new material is clear to the student.

In the Level F Prep Course books students progress to the intermediate level of piano playing. The pieces are in C, G, and D Major and include well-known tunes as well as original compositions. Other music concepts introduced in level F are syncopation, ostinato, I and V7 chords, and chord progressions.
