• EXCELLENT CURRICULUM FOR BEGINNING STUDENTS
  I teach beginning piano students and have found this book to be excellent. It teaches several points of theory along with the songs and everything is done in an easy to understand style.
  This series has been around a long time, I actually studied out of it myself as a child, but it is far from dated. This book and the entire series gives a good solid core in music and piano to the new student whatever the age.

  To highlight the main problem I had with this book - the CD. I listened to the CD and the piano parts were not alone but also included bells, a metronome, and a few other sounds as well - outside just the piano. I purchased the book to... more info

• good and cheap
  I have bought this book because my daughter's piano teacher recommended it. I have to inform you that the french version in Switzerland cost 4 times your price......the book is very good with exercises and practical examples. It is however for someone who is taking courses with a professional.

• A Classic!
  I learned to play the piano with the John Thompson series and used it for my students when I was teaching. I just purchased this book in addition to "Teaching Little Fingers to Play" as I am now going to be teaching my son piano. The pieces in this book advance appropriately and are interesting and fun to play. When I received it, I opened it and started to play and took a nice trip down memory lane! I highly recommend the entire John Thompson series.
