My 4-year old got attracted to this book right away, but too early to tell if it can keep her learning piano.

The John Thompson beginning piano series has always been a good instructional tool. This is very basic and a little slower pace for young students. I personally prefer to teach with the "red" John Thompson beginning series book for interest and pacing, as well as the Lelia Fletcher beginning piano book. You can't really go wrong with John Thompson, but it helps to utilize a variety of beginning level books to keep students interest.

This book is for someone with a previous knowledge of written music, since this is not my daughter's case, she thought it was too dificult for her. Maybe once she learns to read music this will be a great book, for now however, since she likes another book I bought with a much different approach to teaching piano, she doesn't even want to try this one.

It's my business to know what works because I'm a full time professor of piano both at university level and in the private sector. The John Thompson series has always been one of the best traditional learning method books for students who wish to learn how to play piano (or keyboard). This book is part of the "easiest series" which was originally published by Willis back in 1945. This series is not the original "Teaching Little Fingers To Play"-- I call it the "red book" series simply because all the covers to each grade level are blue in colour. The blue book series was Thompson's very first piano method published in 1931. In fact, I still have my original "Teaching Little Fingers" book from when I started at age 5. The important fact to remember about the "Easiest" series is it's purpose. It was designed for persons who have had difficulty with John Thompson's "Teaching Little Fingers to Play" (which is the primer which leads to "Grade One, Grade Two" and so on. You will find this "Easiest" series the continuation of the John Thompson Easiest Piano Course, Part One. And, like "Part One" it progresses at a slower rate . I use this series for very young students, ages 4 to perhaps 6/7.
One final thought: None of the John Thompson piano courses were designed to be "self teaching" methods. And, no matter what any teacher tells you, there is NO piano course which can be used as a "stand alone" curriculum. This includes publishers like Bastien, Faber and Faber, and others. Fortunately, any of the John Thompson method books far surpass the others. One caveat: If you want to learn pop music or to play using chords, I would recommend "The Older Beginner Piano Course" by Bastien. However, if you want to learn traditional classical (so called "serious" music), than this book would be a good choice (although I would try the "Teaching Little Fingers to Play" Thompson book first. It progresses a bit faster but is just a little more difficult). Please visit my website for more information and FREE downloads like chord charts and Circle of Keys, and much more.
