John Thompson's Adult Piano Course - Book 1: Elementary Level Book with Online Audio Details
(Willis). NEW AND IMPROVED! Recently re-engraved and updated, John Thompson's Adult Piano Course was compiled with the mature student in mind. Adults have the same musical road to travel as the younger student, but the study material for a mature student will differ slightly in content. Since these beloved books were written and arranged especially for adults, they contain a wonderful mix of classical arrangements, well-known folk-tunes and outstanding originals that many will find a pleasure to learn and play. Most importantly, the student is always encouraged to play as artistically and with as much musical understanding as possible. The price of this book includes a unique code that provides access to audio tracks online, for download or streaming. The tracks include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right available exclusively from Hal Leonard.
Reviews
I particularly like the online access for the mp3 that gives an idea of how the tunes should sound. This is essentially 'Teaching Little Fingers to Play' (TLFTP) and 'John Thompson Modern Course Grade 1' for adults with a few small changes in content. I use with beginning teens as well, as it moves them along faster . The notes and print are much smaller than TLFTP. If you have an adult with vision problems use TLFTP instead. It includes TLFTP ensemble accompaniment scores for the teacher as well. Identical in content to the original green version. Ad the end students should be ready to attempt Grade 1 or 2 examination
