Alfred's Basic Piano Library Universal Edition: Theory Book 1A

Alfred's Basic Piano Library Universal Edition: Theory Book 1A is a beginner theory workbook designed to coordinate page-by-page with the matching Alfred Lesson Book. Written by Willard A. Palmer, Morton Manus and Amanda Vick Lethco, it reinforces the musical concepts students encounter at the piano through written exercises, games and quizzes.

Theory That Follows the Lesson Book

Each section supports concepts introduced in Alfred's Basic Piano Library Lesson Book 1A, giving students a chance to review notation, rhythm and basic musical understanding away from the keyboard. The page-by-page coordination also makes it easy for teachers to assign matching theory work alongside practical lessons.
