This Allkin-One Piano Course was written in response to many requests by piano teachers for just one all-encompaceing teaching book, that would include LESSON, THEORY anc SOLO material. By combining all he LESSON BOOKS of Levels 1A and 1B of Alfred's Basic Piano Library into three consecutive D0okS (Books 1, 2, 3) that also include selected pages from the THEORY, RECITAL and FUN BOOKS, a naw course has been developed thal offers several advantages: 1. The student wi mul eed to perform from only one book. The need to carry le books to each lesson is eliminated, 2. Teacher assignments will be simplified, as the Lesson, Theory and Solo material are all combined in perfect sequence. 8. While less supplementary material is included than if the Theary, Recital and Fun books were used individually, the same “overlapping concepts’ used in the regular edition of Alfred's Basic Piano Library is continued, 4. At the completion of Book 3 of the AlLin-One Course, the student will have Levels 1 and 16 ul be lrec's Basic Piano Library or into Book 4 of the completion of Book 6, the sludent will be able to ired's Basic Piano Library. continue into Level 3 of Here is an outline of the basic contents of Book 1 pgs. 3-5.
