feel like Real Piano Music

This book has the most classical-feeling music in it of all of the Basic Piano Library books, unlike some of them where it shakes up different music types. Starting at the second song, Theme from Swan Lake, it goes through a long string of songs that, for the first time, feel like Real Piano Music, as opposed to cute folk tunes or straight up boring piano drills, which is the vibe of the rest of the books, including #6.

Good Series

I've been teaching for years and I like this method.

Great Series

This is a great series. My son has used Alfred's since he was eight years old and has done very well.

Alfred Basic Piano book, Level 5

I like the advancement of the level. It continues to enhance my playing ability.

Typical Alfred

The book is much like the others with an emphasis on scales and theory, which is why I like this series. This book for some reason is not in color. That isn't a big deal, but since the others are it seems a little bland with all black and white pictures. There is a little too much emphasis on minor and my child is getting sick of gloomy sounding songs, but hopefully that will change soon.

Great piano book series.

We have been using Alfred's series for 10 years. Love it.

Five Stars

Love this series for beginners to intermediate pianists. This level has more classical pieces than the previous levels.

would like to be able to get the Technic book for ...

Again, would like to be able to get the Technic book for this level. Don't know why I couldn't
