Alfred's Basic Adult All-in-One Course, Book 1 by Willard A. Palmer and Amanda Vick Lethco remains a perennial favorite for adult piano students. The Suzuki Violin School volumes (1 and 2) by Shinichi Suzuki are equally relied upon by private instructors. Teachers also stock Complete Color-Coded Flash Cards for early elementary piano students, and the full progression of Alfred's Basic Piano Library (Lesson Books 1A, 1B, and 2) for younger learners.

Recent additions include Kesslers Gitarrenkurs Band 1 and Leichter Weg zum Gitarrenspiel mit CD by Dietrich Kessler, along with Let's Play Bongos by Jerzy Bartz and Das neue Arrangierbuch by Carsten Gerlitz.

Willard A. Palmer authored 789 published works spanning piano methods, guitar methods, solo pieces, and choral arrangements translated into multiple languages. His contributions to Alfred's Basic Piano Library have become standard in studio instruction. Amanda Vick Lethco co-authored Alfred's Basic Piano Library with Palmer and Manus, and served as Professor Emeritus of Piano Pedagogy at the University of Texas at Austin, bringing decades of pedagogical expertise to method design.

E. L. Lancaster and Gayle Kowalchyk both hold doctorates in piano pedagogy and have taught at California State University, Northridge.

Together they created Music for Little Mozarts, a widely adopted early childhood piano series.

James D. Ployhar is credited with over 800 music publications and authored the Contemporary Band Course, now published by Alfred and translated into French and Norwegian. His orchestration background includes study with members of the Danish Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
