5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best elementary /intermediate book,
This review is from: John Thompson's Modern Course for the Piano: First Grade Book (Paperback)
I used this book as a student and still use it for teaching. Pieces are nice and students are challenged to think musically. It moves quicker than some other method books; it covers materials from elementary to early intermediate. Upon completion of the first grade book students can play standard repertoire in the early intermediate level. Students must have completed early elementary level before using this book because this book starts with playing two hands in C position. Emphasize phrasing from the first piece. Highly recommended.

A great start for the piano.,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: John Thompson's Modern Course for the Piano: First Grade Book (Paperback)
I'm 13 years old and I finshed this book about 1 year ago. I thought it was a great start for people that are just learning to play the piano with both hands. I didn't start off with this book when I started lessons, instead I started with a book that taught you note values and note names and other basics.(Which are very important for learning piano.) Before you buy this book, try learning about piano fundementals.
This book doesn't make piano easy, but it makes it easier to understand and fun. I'm now going onto the third grade book soon and I think that these books are great.

The John Thompson series is wonderful! It has been around for decades and it is easy to use either for self study or with a piano teacher. A lot of details are covered. Highly recommended!
