Summary of This Collection
Designed as a progressive repertoire book, this collection supports students following John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course who want to quickly play well-known pieces. The pieces have been graded by level to naturally integrate with the method, especially when approaching Parts Two, Three, and Four. The goal is twofold: to consolidate fundamentals (reading, hand coordination, positioning, consistency) and to establish good musical habits through pieces that "sound great" from the very first pages.
Beyond the technical aspect, the value of this repertoire lies in nurturing expression: working on dynamics, phrasing, and listening skills, all while maintaining accessible difficulty. It features a selection of essential songs: (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay, Broken Strings, Eternal Flame, Eye Of The Tiger, Grenade, Hallelujah, I Will Always Love You, Just Dance, Last Friday Night, Love Story, My Heart Will Go On (Love Theme from 'Titanic'), Poker Face, The Climb, Viva La Vida, You're Beautiful.
