The Korena take

Part Two of John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course, a long-running beginner method. The follow-on book once a student finishes Part One.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Students who have completed Part One of the same course
  • Teachers already running the Thompson method with a pupil

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Absolute beginners who have not done Part One
  • Players wanting current pop or contemporary material
  • Adults who want a faster-moving self-teaching course

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Part Two

Not a starting point. It assumes note reading and hand positions taught in Part One.

Detail 02

"Easiest Piano Course"

The gentlest of the Thompson methods. Progress per page is deliberately slow, which suits young children.

Detail 03

Method book, not a songbook

Teaches reading and technique in sequence. Pieces exist to drill a concept, not for performance.

Detail 04

Under ten dollars

Each part is bought separately, so the full course cost adds up across several books.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Start with Part One unless the student has already finished it.
  2. 02Parts Three and Four are sold separately to continue.
  3. 03No CD or online audio is included with the book itself.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Can I start with Part Two?

Not recommended. It builds directly on reading and hand positions taught in Part One and does not reteach them.

02What age is this for?

The course is written for young beginners, with slow pacing and large notation. Older students usually progress faster with an adult method.

03How many parts are in the course?

The Easiest Piano Course runs through several numbered parts. Each is purchased separately as the student progresses.

04Does it come with audio?

This is the book on its own. Any accompanying audio or CD edition is a separate purchase.
