My son (5 yr old) finished prep course level A and B. Instead of go into C, I decide switch him to regular course. This 1B is continuation from prep B. So far both I and my son like the material in 1B.
There are lots of piano teaching methods out there: Alfred, Piano Adventure, Hal Leonard, John Thompson, Music Tree, Piano Town, just to name a few. There are also lots of debates on which method is better. One of the major criticism of Alfred basic piano library is that it's fixing student's hand position. We only onto 1B, so we don't know if it'll be a problem later on.
But the music in these Alfred books are good. My son likes them and like to play them, that's all it matters. I also bought both Piano Adventure and Hal Leonard and I like the music in Alfred better.

I'm 81 years old. I never dreamed I could effectively teach piano. Ten year old Great grandsons wanted to learn; Mom said "Grandma can do it" ...I went on Amazon to find a beginner piano book. Picked Alfred's Basic Piano Library. Because ofLesson Book Level 1B, the boys are excited and eager to learn. Grandma is excited as well. After just 2 months, I ordered the Christmas Solo book. They will be playing a song each for our family Christmas. I love the theory that is part of the lesson. The boys are learning so much more than just notes and ditties. Thank you. Jean
