Re: How long did it take to finish Alfred's Adult Course Book 1? Book 1 about 6 months. I'm at the end of book 2 but have been working at it sporadically now for I'd say 2 years.
Follow the dashed lines and arrows to see where a switch between the courses can easily be made. After completing Alfred's Basic, Level 1A, a smooth switch can be made to Prep Course, Level C. After completeing Alfred's Basic, Level 1B, a smooth switch can be made to Prep Course, Level E.
I am not a big fan of the Alfred series, but having taught it in the past, I believe it takes about 6 months to go through one level. Of course, every student is different, and the teacher should know how quickly to progress. I have worked with children who have spent several years on method books. I use Hal Leonard and, just recently, Piano Town.
The full name is Adult-All-In-One Course by Alfred (Palmer, Manus, Lethco). It's 160 pages with a CD. Re: How long did it take to finish Alfred's Adult Course Book 1?
The uncredited music in Alfred's Premier Piano Course was written by Dennis Alexander and Martha Mier. All music by other composers/arrangers has been noted in the books next to each piece.
Your child should practice on a daily basis. Some teachers recommend that students have one day off each week from practice. Check with your teacher to determine the amount of practice time necessary for your child, based on the student's age, maturity and level of advancement.

Students can clap or tap the rhythm as the CD plays, point to the notes on the page as the CD plays, say note names as the CD plays, or sing (or say) the words as the CD plays. Finally, when the student is secure playing the piece, he/she can play along with the practice version or performance version.
