David Carr Glover Method for Piano: Lessons, Primer" [Paperback] Review

I grew up using David Carr Glover books when I took piano lessons myself.I still love them for the simplicity and ease of use.I like the way this method book does NOT start on the black keys.It starts right in with real notes in middle C position.This way the students learn the notes and what they look like on the staff.Other methods use the black keys and finger numbers--children end up relying on the finger numbers instead of on what NOTE they're supposed to be playing.
I highly recommend the Glover method--I would also recommend if you use this book to add the Primer level Technic, Performance and Theory books for a well-rounded experience.

John Thompson's Modern Course for the Piano - First Grade (Book/CD Pack): First Grade - Book/CD [Paperback] Review

I used this book as a student and still use it for teaching.Pieces are nice and students are challenged to think musically.It moves quicker than some other method books; it covers materials from elementary to early intermediate.Upon completion of the first grade book students can play standard repertoire in the early intermediate level.Students must have completed early elementary level before using this book because this book starts with playing two hands in C position.Emphasize phrasing from the first piece.Highly recommended.

John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course Part 1 [Paperback] Review

This book is wonderful to begin teaching young children the rudiments of piano playing.The children are most excited when they have to play their parts while I play the accompaniment.These 'duet' sessions have generated much joy, laughter and fun, which is what music should be to children.

If your child requires more challenging work, I would suggest using this book in tandem with another book like from Michael Aaron's series or John Thompson's "Teaching Little Fingers to Play".
