Premier Piano Course: Universal Edition Lesson 1B - Piano Book & CD

Premier Piano Course: Universal Edition Lesson 1B is the Australian-friendly version of Alfred Music's beginner piano method. Written by Dennis Alexander, Gayle Kowalchyk, E. L. Lancaster, Victoria McArthur and Martha Mier, it combines note reading, rhythm, sight reading, technical work and engaging repertoire in a carefully paced Level 1B course.

Universal Edition for Australia

The Universal Edition is designed for English-speaking countries outside the United States, including Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand. It uses British rhythmic terminology such as crotchet rather than quarter note, making it a better fit for many Australian teachers and students.

Book & CD Edition

This stock edition includes the companion CD. Each piece is recorded at both performance tempo and a slower practice tempo, helping students hear the intended rhythm, phrasing and musical character while practising at home.
