John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course: Part Four

John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course - Part Four

Book 4 of a classic, comprehensive step-by-step course specifically designed to suit the needs of 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.

In Part Four, the focus is on review and reinforcement, drawing on skills learned in earlier books to develop efficiency and fluency at the early intermediate level. Several new keys are introduced, E Major, B Major, A-flat Major, D-flat Major, and G-flat Major, supported by one-page worksheets and a chart of new one-octave scales and chords. New concepts include ledger lines above the bass and below the treble staves, left-hand melody, dotted quarter notes, finger changes on the same key, and simple pedal use, with a glossary of musical terms and expression marks included at the end. The 2019 edition features updated artwork by Sergio Sandoval.
