Hi Faa2010,
I was first taught from the John Thompson books (at school) at a very young age. And although I was only 7 at the time, the pictures and the titles of the pieces or songs actually (which I suppose are meant to keep up interest in the child learining) did not do anything for me at all. I can only just remember just sitting there and frowning at them and thinking, is this what playing the piano is? But it may have been just me, or the teacher, or the books, or all three combined. But I know I didn't like them.
My next teacher did not want me to buy any books at all (or very few) and just photocopied things out of books that she already had.
The John Thompson books would have changed in 35 years I suppose, I don't know I havn't seen one. But my advice is to try them out for yourself with a teacher and if you are not moved by them, then I would find a teacher like I did.
Энтони.
