Teaching Little Fingers to Play: A Book for the Earliest Beginner (John Thompsons Modern Course for The Piano)

About the numbers...if you actually take time to READ the beginning pages of the book, it gives you a very specific method to ensure that your children begin by playing the proper keys using finger numbers. Then the book explains how to transfer the child to playing the notes only.

Basically, just play the song once with the numbers, then play the song from then on SAYING the NOTES while playing the keys. This has worked beautifully for my daughter and she is absolutely NOT relying on the numbering. Really, this book is so likable with fun, familiar songs. Highly, highly recommended.

Also, this is not for "the earliest beginner," really...just so you know, a 5 or 6 year old should start with John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course. That book moves SUPER slowly and gently, introducing all the note names one by one. This book is actually for older beginners (maybe 7 or 8 and older) who can pick things up more quickly.

Solid familiarity with the keyboard and how to read a piano score are accomplished quickly and thoroughly. Unlike some series of method books, John Thompson does not keep a student in the perpetual state of a beginner forever! Measurable progress occurs
so frequently, that the student's confidence is consistently heightened.

When combined with high energy, whole hand tapping and counting of the score (before looking for and playing the actual notes with correct fingering) there is an overview of an entire piece which the student acquires, that is extremely empowering. The traditional John Thompson Series does not participate in the dumbing-down of our people and This is SO APPRECIATED!
