I use the Alfred Adult book with the (few) adult students I have, and I agree that there are some songs that the students find very unappealing (I'm saying song instead of piece, because many of these are folk arrangements or popular songs, so just a heads up). There are usually small lessons added in throughout the book, and if you have/understand the technical part of a song you can learn it very quickly and efficiently. It gets very painful if you push dreaded practice off to the side, because if your teacher is persistent, they will make sure you do it, whether it takes a day or a month. Sure, some of the songs are awful and sometimes boring to play, but if you keep a constistent practice routine, the less enjoyable songs will seem to be more of a preparation of the 'better' stuff that usually comes near the end of the books. Intermediate/Advanced students often don't like practicing scales and triads, but once they understand the importance of technique, it becomes second nature practicing these less appealing scales and triads. Often I'll pair up a song that the student isn't crazy about with one that they like; when they practice, they'll do a bit of each for some variety. It helps alot, especially if you end your practice session with the perferred piece.
