Review: Teaching Little Fingers to Play: A book for the Earliest Beginner by John Thompsons - Teaching Little Fingers to Play: A book for the Earliest Beginner by John Thompsons is a wonderful addition to any piano teacher's collection. The book is laid out in an easy-to-follow design. A step-by-step process helps engage beginning students in a fun fashion to be able to read and play the songs from the book. I highly recommend this "Teaching Little Fingers to Play: A book for the Earliest Beginner" by John Thompsons to everyone. I will be purchasing this book again for other students also. Thank you for reading this review. Sincerely, Jeanette L Lane
Review: My child loves this book and that's what matters - Her teacher has used the John Thompson series to successfully teach piano for decades. Yes, decades. This Primer is so wonderfully sweet with many fun songs to play. My daughter is also very excited about the new books written to go along with it, Teaching Little Fingers to Play Disney Songs, and TLFTP Hymns, Christmas Carols, and there are so many more. There is even a book specific to Jewish songs. 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. WE LOVE THIS BOOK

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great
*by M***N on January 5, 2025*

I love how it teaches the parent while teaching the kids. It’s a great bonding experience for the both of you. Starts you in the absolute beginning and increases difficulty over time. Definitely worth the buy
