Description


This course is designed to present the easiest possible approach to piano playing, complete with an amusing family of characters and illustrations to help emphasise the information being taught. Part one is devoted to developing fluency in reading by note, the biggest hurdle for most young children. The range is purposely limited. Only five notes up and five notes down from middle C are presented and time values do not go beyond crotchets. Each book of the course contains its own writing exercises, sightreading drills, review work and later, technical studies. Accompaniments for teacher or parent are supplied with most of the examples.

Rating Review

Customer Rating I'm not a piano teacher, but my daughter is learning using this series of books and I think that they are quite good. My only grumble is that progress is quite gentle and, as my daughter already has some musical knowledge, she finished the book very quickly. It could prove to be quite expensive if all the books are finished as easily!!!

Customer Rating I learned to play the Piano with this course and I used it when I started to teach Piano. I remember enjoying it and still have my first book! I now want to teach my own children the basics and I like the look of the 'updated' version. It is well laid out and caters for any speed of progress.

Customer Rating Very out of date - it conveys no idea of recent research in piano pedagogy, keeps children refined in middle C position rather than having freedom to move around keyboard. No creative activities. Too mechanical, eye to finger rather than ear to finger, thus not promoting inner hearing.

Customer Rating I always use the John Thompson Modern Course for adult students, but it doesn't suit children so I thought I'd try this out and I'm very happy with it! It progresses very gently, with a new note every few pages and constant revision over the notes learnt, whether from reading drills or theory worksheets. The children also love the pictures, of which there are just enough to keep interest without being distracted.
