I need to pick some brains please. I completed "Alfred's Self-teaching Adult Piano Course" (big yellow book) and went to the local music shop to purchase the next one in the series, to find that there is no "next one" in the series. The music shop guy told me that the next step is the "Alfred's All in one" series. Is this so? I checked out the first one and it looked as if I've already done that stuff in the book I just finished. Anyway,I've ordered #2 and #3. I don't want to get another brand of self-teaching book unless of course someone can suggest something to take me on from the one I've just finished.

Hi and congrats on finishing the book. Google books have an extract from it and you are right, it looks from the contents list very similar to Book 1 of the adult course. It also has an epilogue where it recommends you move on to Books 2 and 3 of the Adult All in One course. Good luck with those.

Have fun with Book 2. There are also some fun supplementary books to play from. You could also check out some of the books from some other methods like the Hal Leonard Adult books. (I really like those). It is good to see you making music at the piano. It will be one of the best things you have ever done.

Good Luck
