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 series is not the original "Teaching Little Fingers To Play"-- I call it the "red book" series simply because all the covers to each grade level are red in colour. The red book series was Thompson's first piano method published in 1931. In fact, I still have my original "Teaching Little Fingers" book from when I started at age 5. The important fact to remember about the "Easiest" series is it's purpose. It was designed for persons who have had difficulty with John Thompson's "Teaching Little Fingers to Play" (which is the primer which leads to "Grade One, Grade Two" and so on. You will find this "Easiest" series the continuation of the John Thompson Easiest Piano Course, Part One. And, like "Part One" it progresses at a slower rate . I use this series for very young students, ages 4 to perhaps 6/7. One final thought: None of the John Thompson piano courses were designed to be "self teaching" methods. And, no matter what any teacher tells you, there is NO piano course which can be used as a "stand alone" curriculum. This includes publishers like Bastien, Faber and Faber, and others. Fortunately, any of the John Thompson method books far surpass the others. One caveat: If you want to learn pop music or to play using chords, I would recommend "The Older Beginner Piano Course" by Bastien.
