About This Collection
Description
This collection spans 2,377 titles covering foundational theory work, sight-reading practice, scales and technique, and supplementary resources across multiple instruments. Teachers rely heavily on Willard A. Palmer's Alfred's Basic Adult All-in-One Course and The Complete Book of Scales, Chords, Arpeggios & Cadences for piano instruction, while Karen Farnum Surmani's Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory series provides accessible theory grounding for students of all ages. You'll find material for piano, guitar, band and orchestra instruments, with significant depth in concert band resources and a strong selection of jazz and blues theory materials.
Highlights
Alfred's Basic Adult All-in-One Course, Book 1 by Willard A. Palmer remains a standard in adult piano instruction, and Complete Color-Coded Flash Cards for piano continue to be classroom staples for teaching intervals and chord recognition. Paul Harris's Improve Your Sight-Reading! series for piano and the Sound Innovations for Concert Band ensemble development books by Peter Boonshaft and Chris Bernotas are widely adopted across private studios and school programs.
Recently added
Recent additions include Perfect Blues Guitar and Perfect Funk-Soul-Hip Hop Guitar by Frank Diez and Joachim Schütte, expanding theory resources into contemporary guitar styles. Vic Firth's new Snare Drum Method and Dietrich Kessler's KDM Musiklehre round out percussion and general music theory offerings published within the last year.
Composer & Author Spotlight
Willard A. Palmer authored the foundational Alfred's Basic Piano Library theory books and the scales/chords/arpeggios volume that have shaped piano pedagogy for decades. His Adult All-in-One Course remains the best-selling title in this entire collection.
Paul Harris studied at the Royal Academy of Music and University of London and is recognized as one of the UK's leading music educationalists. His Improve Your Sight-Reading! series spans multiple instruments and levels, and his Simultaneous Learning approach to instrumental teaching has gained international adoption.
James D. Ployhar has over 800 credited publications and stands as one of music education's most respected voices. His Contemporary Band Course, now published by Alfred Music, has been translated into multiple languages and is used throughout Norway and beyond.
E. L. Lancaster served as Executive Editor of Piano for Alfred Music and held the position of Professor of Music at the University of Oklahoma, where he directed the group piano program. His Premier Piano Course theory books integrate pedagogy grounded in decades of teaching experience.
