I've played piano for over 20 years, and have been teaching out of this series for the past year. I was a former Bastien advocate, but I'm a quick convert! This series is excellent and is a must have for your library and for any beginning student. The variety of books and even pace at which students advance is perfect. I am very happy with the selection of levels too. The Prep Course levels are perfect for younger or slower students who need lots of time and adjustment, while the Basic Library series with 6 levels (including 1a & 1b) is fabulously presented. You cannot go wrong with this series!
If you are an adult, I reccommend the Alfred's Adult series, but this works out well for adults who need a slower pace and lots of patience.

I grew up following John Thompson's method, but my children's piano teacher recommended Alfred's piano course. We use the Rehearsal, Lesson, Theory and Hymn books. In less than a year, my children have progressed to level 3. They have learned some of the basics of music: key signatures, time signatures, dynamics, pedaling, and reading. They are able to work through the assigned pages on their own and are ready to play them at the end of the week (when they have practiced their 30 minutes!). Generally, they like the lessons and sneak in some of the later lessons. The method moves to beginner from playing notes to reading those notes on the musical staff in a gradual and natural way. The theory books are well coordinated with the lesson books. Our piano teacher recently moved out of state, so I am continuing the lessons and find the method easy to follow and very helpful.
