To Whom It May Concern:
This topic has been established for the sole purpose of enabling me (John Frank, and others as authorized) to upload select recorded music files to be used as samples of pieces from the Method Books in the three on-going Alfred Basic Adult topics in the Adult Beginner's Forum. They are intended to be copied to the O.P. in the respective Alfred threads.
You are welcome to listen, of course, but please refrain from posting to this thread. Thanks.
Regards,
JF
We appreciate your cooperation. Thanks again.
Regards, JF

Black Forest Polka Thanks, JF
Mark - here is the next song upload - it's from Book 2 also:
Light and Blue (Book Version) I call this the "Book Version" because it's played exactly as arranged in the Book. I do this to distinguish it from a modified, "embellished" version I uploaded to the April Piano Bar.
Thanks, John
Three more pieces from Book 2:
Festive Dance Divertimento in D (with repeat) Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) Mark - I can do more, but I don't want to monopolize the sample pieces in the O.P. Let me know if you would like to have them. Thanks, John
