Marvellous Material to Make Education Enjoyable

John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course has been meticulously crafted to offer the most accessible path to piano mastery, incorporating a delightful family of characters and illustrations to underscore the imparted knowledge.

The initial segment focuses on nurturing fluency in note reading, a pivotal skill for young learners. To mitigate potential challenges, the range deliberately remains limited, introducing only five notes above and below middle C, with time values restricted to crotchets.

Within each book of the course, learners encounter purposeful writing exercises, sight-reading drills, review tasks, and, in the later stages, technical studies to foster a comprehensive musical education.

For added support, accompaniments designed for teachers or parents accompany the majority of the examples.

In celebration of Willis Music's remarkable 120-year legacy, the cherished characters from John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course Parts One - Four have undergone a charming visual update. While the content remains unaltered, today's budding musicians, much like their predecessors, can continue to reap the benefits of the Easiest Course's clear and straightforward approach.
