    Great video but what kind of sicko uses decimals and rates something on a scale of 1? "Yeah I'll give this a 0.32 out of 2/3" lmao this would make way more sense if you just rated things on a scale of 10 like a normal human being

    I don't shop with Amazon, so I used my local music store to get my books. I ordered the Faber and Alfred books since we are in a French speaking area. They sent the Faber Volume 1, but the Alfred Volume 2. So I was using Faber. But when I went in to talk music at the store, I saw that I didn't know how to talk music in French. They had a La Methode Rose as a bilingual book, but it was French and British. Later on I found John Thompson, and I have Volume 1 and 2. The Thompson has become my favorite. I didn't buy the first introductory book of Thompson, which I would use if I was an absolute beginner. LMR is not a beginners book, nor a childrens book. But I've gone back to it several times as a sightreading exercise. And I learned the Alberti bass very well.

    "Boomer" of 65 years of age here. Ignore my comments as appropriate. I started when I was 12 or 13 years old. I had a private piano teacher for a once-a-week 30-minute lesson for three years. I was assigned the John Thompson Adult Preparatory Course Book 1, and that was followed by the John Thompson Modern Piano Course, books 1 and 2. I suppose the methodology and pedagogy was not up to what is expected these days. But, and "for my money" the most important thing for a beginning student who is not hugely motivated from the start, I enjoyed most of the music in the books. The emphasis was on classical music, simplified arrangements of famous classical themes, and also of some spirituals and other folk songs. In addition to easier unsimplified classical pieces. My teacher would play through various of the pieces for me, and if I liked a given piece, that was great motivation to try to learn it myself. In any case, my love of the piano and music in general increased gradually, and over time I became crazy about the piano. The main thing, to me, is that the music was attractive enough to hold my interest. I've read through some pieces in Faber and Alfred in the past, and I felt they were ho-hum. Ho-hum is not good enough to inspire much enjoyment. If I were a piano teacher--I'm not--I would always play through pieces for my students if they were not familiar with the music, so that the students could hear if the music interested them enough to want to try to learn a given piece. Ideally, I suppose, students should be able to listen to all of the pieces in various methods to see which method had the music that was most attractive to them. And then choose that method. It doesn't matter how great the "pedagogical content" is if the music doesn't engage students. Then again, what engages me might well bore younger people these days. In any case, thank you very much for this thorough and comprehensive review of four piano methods. I respect your obvious command of the principles of piano pedagogy!

    Curious! Instead of straightening your fingers over the black keys, why not just keep the finger curved, lift your wrist, and play more into the black keys? If your fingers are curled, they are in a straight line instead of the curve you show when playing a 5-finger C-scale. If they are curved, rather than straight, you have more control to keep each note even.

    Many thanks for your videos, they are really down to earth and well presented, so for me, very helpful and much appreciated. I have both the Alfred's and the Faber method books along with the Faber Adult Classics Book 1 which I have started working through for the past couple of months. Would you recommend studying from both method books at the same time or is it better to just work through one book? Thanks again.
