Sure bet in exactly what each piano teacher should use!!! I’ve taught over 30 years of piano students, these books helped me greatly with the progress of my students !!! Very sound theories of tracing piano!! Review: Thrilled to Have This Book! - I began piano lessons when I was in 1st grade, and my teacher used “Teaching Little Fingers How to Play” as my very 1st music book. Once successful with that, she moved me on thru the John Thompson series. Books 1-5. I loved those books! They had a great range of all different kinds of songs and difficulty. And they had pictures. Of them all, the 3rd grade book was my all-time favorite. Unfortunately, I loaned it to someone years ago and have always wished I still had it. Then I discovered that I, too, could STILL have it because desertcart carried it! Happy as a lark, I am! I'm in my 70’s now, and it's so much fun to be able to play my favorite songs once again 60 years later! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #49,444 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #32 in Music Techniques (Books) #113 in Piano & Keyboards #229 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 846 Reviews | ## Images ![John Thompson's Modern Course for the Piano -Third Grade | Intermediate Piano Method Book | Piano Sheet Music for Students and Teachers | Essential Technique and Musical Expression Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bUZER-muS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You can’t go wrong… *by A***R on February 27, 2024* Stick with John Thompson using these graded books for your piano students!

At first her fingers and eyesight were a frustration to her playing. Now, after a month of practice her fingers move more freely, and her eyes have adjusted to reading those tiny dots called notes. She ordered the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade versions of John Thompson's piano books. (She could only find the beginner versions in the local music store.) The first two arrived today and you should have heard her excitement. She said the books were even better than she had expected. I am very grateful these books were available to order on Amazon. I love having a happy Mama. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/4423544-john-thompsons-modern-course-for-the-piano-third-grade-intermediate](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/4423544-john-thompsons-modern-course-for-the-piano-third-grade-intermediate) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
