John Thompson's Adult Piano Course Book 1: Elementary Level Book with Online Audio

This is a great book for beginners that have a teacher.It contains basic and concise information to have the student reading music from the get go. The initial exercises are short and promptly get the pianist playing with both hands. Most of the exercises have a second part for the teacher which gives a sense of ensemble and helps put music making into context. The book also contains a “reading drill” which encourages the student to write barlines and clap the rhythms.The print is pleasant to read and spaced nicely.I originally bought this book by mistake, I was intending for a different author, but I am glad I purchased it.

I've only just started using this book, but already it feels like a really solid way to learn piano. My wife is a professional musician, and teaches piano to children and adults. She says the book is an excellent way to get started. Simple, clear, and not gimmicky.

Prompt delivery. Very satisfied. Thank you.

I am brand new to learning to play the piano at the age of 40 and found this book to be wonderfully laid out and easy to follow.

My boyfriend has just started to learn playing the piano. He loves this book

extremely helpful

Must be a duff copy. Blank on pages 33, 36, 37, 40, 41, 44, 45 and 48. My Mum's been using it to learn and has only just got to those pages and so she didn't notice before, but now I can't return it because the one month return window has closed.

Easy to follow
