John Thompson's Note Speller A Music Writing Book (John Thompson's Piano)

My uncle is a music instructor for over 50 years. I decided to learn the piano and have a problem, like many with memorizing the notes for the left hand. He suggested this book and it is really a very resourceful book. It reviews and teaches many aspects of what you will encounter when you are learning from a regular beginner music book such as tempo, signatures and more (I just started using this book). The applications are very practical and I am finding this a very useful tool and it is actually fun ! This is great for kids and even adults.

Great addition to our homeschool music class. Easy enough to follow especially if you know the basics. I use it to teach my children piano. I'm not an expert at all in playing but did take lessons as a child and have been able to teach them using this and some other of their books just fine. Classic that still works well.

Easy notebook for beginners

I love how this book is set up. It will be so easy for her to understand. She is 7 years old and loves to play the piano. Her Father is teaching her. He has the musical talent that she has inherited. She already knows how to play Beethoven's 5th on her keyboard. I know that she is really going to enjoy this Book. And it was such a good price. It arrived as expected. I love shopping at Amazon.com.

I am using this along with John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course to teach my children piano and how to read notes at the same time. I will admit that it is not ideal for young kids, especially my 5 year old. They love doing it and learning music and piano, but having them draw the clefs and such is a bit much for them.

Wonderful accompaniment for the preliminary level student. Thompson provides writing exercises to learn what the musical symbols mean as well as fun and intriguing - in the fashion of decoding familiar songs done through fill in the blank style and so much more. This will hold a young child's interest as well as the beginner of any age - young or old! Enjoy!

The illustrations in this book are charming! More importantly, the concepts taught are perfect for the beginning piano/music student. Just enough work, just enough challenge, just enough repetition. We love the entire John Thompson piano series, but I'd recommend this book for any young student, using any piano method.My 8 year old beginning piano player ASKS to do this book. Enough said!

I wanted to teach my grandchildren piano, I never dreamed that I would ever be able to find John Thompson books. I learned from these books 50 years ago. I am so excited to teach them from these books that I am used to.Thank You
