More about this title

About the Author: Dennis Alexander

Dennis Alexander

Dennis Alexander has shaped educational piano pedagogy for decades through his work with Alfred Music Publishing, beginning in 1986. His catalog of over 400 publications has established him as one of the most widely performed composers of instructional piano music worldwide. He taught piano pedagogy at the University of Montana for 24 years and held faculty positions at Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Northridge before relocating to New Mexico, where he continues an active schedule of composing, performing, and clinician work.

Beyond composition, Alexander has maintained a performing career as soloist, accompanist, and chamber musician, making his Carnegie Recital Hall debut in 1987 and touring internationally to Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, and India. He has served as a collaborative artist for recognized soloists and ensembles and as a popular clinician at state and national music teachers conventions, including conducting a master class at the MTNA national convention in 2009.

Why we love this

This assignment book transforms lesson planning from scattered notes into a streamlined, professional system. The two-page weekly layout respects both teacher and student time by consolidating assignments and practice guidance into one efficient grid, while the included performance repertoire list and musical terms dictionary give students the reference tools they need between lessons.

What to expect

Organized, intentional, and manageable. The layout respects both the teacher's time constraints and the student's need for clarity about what comes next.

Who it's for

This book serves any teacher using Premier Piano Course across levels 1A through 6. It is designed for studio instructors who need to organize student assignments clearly, track practice progress, and communicate learning goals to families in a structured format.

How to get the most out of it

  • Establish a consistent practice routine by using the weekly grid to map out specific days and times, making the assignment sheet a student's personal practice calendar rather than just a checklist.
  • Leverage the blank music staves section to notate supplemental exercises or finger patterns that reinforce the week's lesson focus.
  • Review the performance repertoire list together during lessons so students understand which pieces they're working toward and can see their long-term progression through the course.
  • Use the parent-teacher notepad area to communicate specific practice goals or concerns; parents who see written guidance stay more engaged in their child's practice habits.

How to use it

Distribute a new assignment sheet at each lesson so students leave with written confirmation of their work for the coming week. The performance repertoire list works well as a reference you post in your studio so students can browse ahead and build excitement about pieces waiting for them at higher levels.

Skills your students will build

  • Understanding of lesson structure and assignment completion
  • Practice organization and goal-setting habits
  • Reference skills (using performance repertoire lists and musical terms dictionary)
  • Parent engagement through visible assignment documentation
