Reviews
John Thompson had to have been a talented, brilliant and highly gifted musician, composer, teacher and arranger as playing from his books feels as though he is sitting near you, giving you personal attention that embarks your entrance upon this marvelous lifetime musical journey that is so melodiously pleasant, so gradually, artistically and technically complete and enjoyable that I have found myself returning over and over and over again not only to revisit songs that I have come to greatly enjoy, playing them repeatedly with new improvisations each time that are just as enjoyable to listen to as they are to play, but also to review sight reading; finger drills; musical terms; music theory; scales; chord inversions; tonal shading and expressiveness in musicality.In addition I now return to plan lessons for my piano students and to glean piano pedagogy to assist them in their exciting embankment into the marvelous world of piano that John Thompson presents so vividly artistic for the student whom has completed the preparatory book, leading systematically in five finger positions of C, G and F Major key signatures, using whole, half, quarter, dotted-quarter and eighth notes in 4/4, 3/4, 2/4 and 6/8 time signatures with changes in rhythm, accidentals, accents and hand positions, ending with broken chords as melody and upon completion leads the piano student to book 1-b of John Thompson's Supplementary Piano Course with Melody All The Way as this exciting lifetime piano journey continues!
