(Willis). A beloved, comprehensive step-by-step course designed for young beginners at the piano! This special boxed set includes all four books of John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course, ideal for introducing music essentials to young learners in a fun, engaging way. Featuring colorful characters and illustrations, the course includes writing exercises, sight-reading drills, and review sections to reinforce learning. It offers a holistic approach to learning the piano with worksheets, reading-aloud exercises, and accompaniments for teachers or parents. The included online backing tracks make learning even more fun. Each book builds on the last to ensure steady progress: * Part 1 introduces note reading, providing ample practice for reading fluency with foundational worksheets and reading-aloud exercises. * Part 2 reinforces note values and introduces two- and three-note chords, preparing students to play with both hands together. * Part 3 emphasizes phrase-by-phrase playing, introduces touch and expression, and covers scale formation, triads, and inversions. * Part 4 strengthens fluency and efficiency, adding new keys, dotted quarter notes, ledger lines, and basic pedal techniques to broaden students' repertoire.
