John Thompson In or Out?

on: June 22, 2005, 02:50:38 AM

Is his series still used?

Are there any flaws in it that have been improved by the current round of method books?

It uses too much fingering, and stays in five-finger positions way too long. Some of the pieces are pretty, though, so if you whited out the fingering you could use it for supplementary material.
