Alfred's Basic Piano Library Lesson Book 5

Alfred's Basic Piano Library Lesson Book 5 by Willard A. Palmer, Morton Manus and Amanda Vick Lethco is a progressive piano method book for students continuing their studies at Level 5. Its step-by-step approach develops music-reading skills and playing technique through coordinated lessons and repertoire.

This 48-page book introduces additional musical ornaments, arpeggios and new keys while giving students opportunities to apply these concepts through minuets, sonatinas, preludes and arias.

Develop Musical Ornamentation

Expand Piano Repertoire

The book introduces musical forms including minuets, sonatinas, preludes and arias. Its repertoire includes arrangements and pieces associated with composers such as Mozart, Bach, Clementi and Tchaikovsky, giving students opportunities to apply their developing reading and playing skills.
