Book One of John Thompson's adult method takes the student from the early elementary to the intermediate level in 80 pages. The student begins reading from the grand staff immediately, with short eight measure tunes, one note at a time in middle C position. The hand positions vary in a logical way as the student progresses, so the student is not wedded to one or two positions. Finger numbers are given liberally in the first half of the book, where a finger number is assigned to each new note in each piece. As the student gains confidence playing one note tunes, left hand harmony notes are added in a contrapuntal manner to facilitate musicality. Phrasing is emphasized. Pieces in C, G, D, A, E, F, Bb, Eb, and Ab Major are included. There are a lot of teacher duets throughout to accompany the many folk songs, arrangements of classics, and originals by the author.
