Product Description A series for the early beginner combining rote and note approach. The melodies are written with careful thought and are kept as simple as possible, yet they are refreshingly delightful. All the music lies within the grasp of the child's small hands.
Teaching Little Fingers to Play January 9, 2009 Three of my children have played this entire book successfully. They began at age 6, 5, and 7, respectively. The five year old actually began with her older sister's instruction at age 4. I would recommend this to beginners. There are diagrams that show the notes and the keys. Cute, colorful pictures add interest for the young ones. We supplement the early stages of reading notes with Jane Bastien's Music Flashcards (GP27) which I have found here on Amazon through another seller.
EXCELLENT TO BEGIN WITH January 8, 2009 This is the first book of the Thompson series and I use it constantly for my beginning elementary age school students. They love it and enjoy progressing thru the music.
I have even tried it on my adult beginners and it was at a level they too could enjoy!
TERRIBLE December 9, 2008 I got this thinking that maybe a new learner can benefit. Without experience i mean. This book is terrible if you yourself do not have any basic knowledge on the piano. Extremely fast paced and Definitely a terrible way to teach. I did not like this at all. Its not even worth a dollar.
Musical yes, earliest no. November 23, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My 4 yr. old daughter is enrolled in a Yamaha music school class for 4-5 yr. olds. I bought this book to give us some supplementary songs to practice. The songs in this book are extremely musical and enjoyable; I would have given the book 5 stars except for the use of the superlative "earliest" in the title, as the pace and level of the book is much faster and higher than what she gets from the music school (which I believe is generally what Yamaha has discovered over many years is readily doable for the youngest beginners). This book is actually nice for an adult beginner.
Great Experience October 4, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book, 'Teaching Little Finger to Play', was resonably priced, arrived on time, and in great condition. This was a great shopping experience.
