John Thompson's Modern Course for the Piano - First Grade (Book/GM Disk): First Grade - Book/GM Disk 16 reviews
John Thompson
Willis Music, 2008
Overall very good
This book has excellent exercises for finger coordination. It moves along in a consistent manner building upon skills learned as you progress through the book. This book is not for the self learner. I could not use this book without the help of my piano teacher. I use this book along with my kids (14,11 & 8). The skills it teaches are good at any age. My only complaint is that the CD plays ...

John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course Part 1 6 reviews
John Thompson
Willis Music, 2005
Great for young beginners
I love it. Students learn the notes one-by-one in songs with duet accompaniment. There are work pages to do along with songs to play. The book is colorful and fun to look at. The progression moves along slowly so that each concept is learned; while at the same time students are playing songs each week and feeling much success. I like it a lot better then the old Thompson series.

John Thompson's Adult Piano Course - Book 1: Book 1/Mid-Elementary Level1 review
John Thompson
Willis Music, 2005
Great Beginner's Textbook
This a great book for beginners. It is non-assuming, starts from the very basic, and takes a step by step approach on fingering and theory. It's easy to make real progress with this book.
After I got thru the first half of this book, the pieces in this book starts to become boring. I still used this book for theory, but got other books on classical music made for beginners as practices.

John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course: Part 2 - Book only5 reviews
John Thompson
Willis Music, 2005
After 62 years, still one of the best of the best!
It's my business to know what works because I'm a full time professor of piano both at university level and in the private sector. The John Thompson series has always been one of the best traditional learning method books for students who wish to learn how to play piano (or keyboard). This book is part of the "easiest series" which was originally published by Willis back in 1945. This ...

EXCELLENT TO BEGIN WITH
This is the first book of the Thompson series and I use it constantly for my beginning elementary age school students. They love it and enjoy progressing thru the music.

Big Man on Campus: John Thompson and the Georgetown Hoyas2 reviews
Leonard Shapiro
Henry Holt & Co, 1991
An excellent book for Hoya fans!
Even though I am a huge John Thompson and Georgetown fan, this book looks at both the positive and negative sides of John Thompson. It goes into his childhood, his days at Providence, on to the Boston Celtics, with St. Anthony's High School, and ending with Georgetown. It covers the recruiting process, racial hurdles, and academic regulations John Thompson is know for. It talks about his ...

Armageddon Conspiracy17 reviews
John Thompson
Harbor House (GA), 2008
Compelling plot and straight-talking style, nothing long-winded or boring.
I expected this to be a good summer read, but it proved to also be a fine literary work with all the elements of a compelling story fully fleshed out. The fictional terrorists are quite believable and it is so timely it reads like it was written in full only yesterday. Better than a Tom Clancey novel, this story appeals to strong women much more. If I had the 'next' volume I would have started it ...

Classic piano study series by a master pedagogue.
I started teaching my first piano students when I was 13. At first I taught with the John Thompson series, the same books that my own teacher used. Over the years, I tried several more "modern" methods. We were all amazed by the colorful illustrations and the new approaches, but eventually, we tired of them. I soon discovered that the classics are indeed the best, so I returned to John ...
