John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course: Part Five

John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course - Part Five

A comprehensive step-by-step course specifically designed to suit the needs of all children beginning the piano. Colourful characters and illustrations, writing exercises, sight-reading drills, review work, and accompaniments all combine to keep young learners engaged and motivated.

The student moves from early intermediate to intermediate level in Part Five, starting with a charming piece that supports understanding of sixteenth notes, "When Knighthood Was in Flower." Syncopation, transposition, ledger lines above and below the grand staff, grace notes, staccato, and aspects of playing the damper pedal are clearly introduced and explained, supported throughout by child-focused tunes and appealing arrangements of classics. A short biography of Mendelssohn is offered at the end, alongside an arrangement of his Spring Song.
