From the very first lessons in Book 1, students are making music as they explore the piano keyboard through fun improvisation pieces called My Own Song. The beginning of the book introduces finger numbers, the black-key and white-key groups, and basic rhythm patterns. nDirectional reading is taught first by finger number, then by note name, and then by interval (stop, skip, and repeat). Once the students are introduced to the staff, they learn reading guides Bass F and Treble G and read by interval in several different hand positions.

The Getting to .. Series, Fundamental Repertoire is a total preparation for students preparing for their exams in AMEB, ANZCA, Associated Board, NZMEB, St Cecilia, Trinity College, and others. Each book is a step by step graded presentation of cherished piano classics and innovative, engaging new music. Essential reading, performance, stylistic and technical skills are developed through the repertoire and additional material has been included to give students extra help with scales and listening skills. Once each grade book has been completed the aim is that the student has attained the expected proficiency for that level.

NEW AND IMPROVED! Recently re-engraved and updated, John Thompson's Adult Piano Course was compiled with the mature student in mind. Adults have the same musical road to travel as the younger student, but the study material for a mature student will differ slightly in content. Since these beloved books were written and arranged especially for adults, they contain a wonderful mix of classical arrangements, well-known folk-tunes and outstanding originals that many will find a pleasure to learn and play. Most importantly, the student is always encouraged to play as artistically and with as much musical understanding as possible.
