I've found Bastien is great for younger students because it focuses on the fundamentals. However, it sometimes moves to slowly for older students--even at the beginner level. Occasionally I'll switch over to Alfred. <br /><br />At work, we asked other teachers their preferred method books and the consensus was Alfred, Bastien, and Faber & Faber.
