The entire John Thompson series is as old as the hills, and I'm sure there are many piano teachers who would say that this series is outdated. There appear to be a lot of piano courses now that are specifically geared to different age groups. I have nothing against any of the other piano courses. But I am an older piano student with a goal to complete the entire John Thompson Course before I reach 70. I'll never be great, but this series pushes me to the max. And I appreciate the selection of songs that are presented in each book.Each student/teacher should negotiate the learning series that best fits the students learning style. For me, the John Thompson series is the core of my learning, and I supplement with books from other series. I also love the fact that I can listen to Alan Chan play every selection from the John Thompson series on You Tube. Listening to a quality rendition is most helpful in appreciating each piece before attempting to play the lesson.
I'm 79 and I learned out of these books. My daughters also and now my grandchildren. Can't begin to tell you how many endless hours of pleasure learning piano has brought me throughout my life. If you're going to learn how to play, this is the best in my opinion.
order arrived exactly on time and price was good.excellent condition.this book is for the advanced student in piano.I recommend it highly as this is one of the books in the series that mostcolleges want their music students to learn in.. some people call itthe typewriter series of piano books.. but if it works so be it..it's been around a long time and is still being used so must be goodNo color pictures... but students still learn.
The Thompson piano course is recommended by our teacher and we're pleased with our son's progress. The book is 110 pages - there's a lot of music here. It presents a variety of musical challenges for a young pianist - styles, techniques, rhythms, scales, chords, keys, etc. along with a variety of composers.
I learned to play the piano with these books. I gave mine to my daughter and bought myself a new set grades one to five and I am continuing to practice just as I remembered.
John Thompson's series of piano books have always been good. My wife wanted this one for her birthday but I bought it for her for Valentine's Day. A bit of an unusual Valentine's Day gift but she loves it!
I learned to play piano many years ago with John Thompson course books, and I'm using the books again since I'm very rusty. This course is really helpful and nostalgic!
I got this for my sister to help her improve on her piano . She loves the books. She says they are easy to follow and really easy to learn from . It was a gift extremely well appreciated. Best Piano Course that comes in a book.
