I was taught with the Alfred, and now I'm teaching my younger sister using John Thompson, and I think the John Thompson is better. The first book you are mostly playing pieces that he wrote himself for the book, but in the second book you start to get adaptations of classical pieces. My sister is currently working on a simplified version of the Hallelujah chorus. There isn't a CD available to my knowledge, but I consider the books to be well worth getting. And yes, get a teacher. You will avoid a lot of bad habits in your technique if you have a good teacher.<br><b>References : </b><br> Actually, I don’t think the Alfred course is the best one out there.

And yes, get a teacher. You will avoid a lot of bad habits in your technique if you have a good teacher.

However, you can begin developing a technique and acquire facility to play simple classical pieces in short order, with the right instruction. I recommend Alfred lesson books. I also very strongly recommend that you consult your newspaper, local web ads, local musicians, or other available resources to find a quality piano teacher in your area, because tere's much more to learning the piano than can be got from a book and a CD. : D Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br>classically trained pianist If you’re a beginner pianist, you most likely won’t be playing classical music—at first.
