John Thompson was famous for his sincere efforts to interest young pupils in pianism.

All of his books teach, in the simplest language possible, interpretation and expression. One ideal is "to use in miniature the same attacks as those used by the concert artist.".

      Awesome Lesson Book! :D

      I really like the John Thompson series! This book includes a lot of good intermediate-leveled pieces and I found that the information on the top page of every song is highly interesting. Ever since I started with the 1st Grade Book a year ago, I already knew that this series...
