This edition of John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course introduces a number of First Hit Songs to the beginner pianist providing easy-to-play hits in the well-loved John Thompson style with simplified arrangements and large notation. A number of the most popular chart songs are included in First Hit Songs which have all been simplified so that pupils working through parts two to four of the Easiest Piano Course are able to play some familiar and famous tunes. The songs are ordered progressively so as pupils learn more challenging theory and techniques they can put that intopractice by getting to grips with more advanced songs. All the songs included here are well-known hits with most being modern chart-toppers. The 15 hits in this songbook include Piano-based ballads like Tom Odell's Real Love and Sam Smith's I'm Not The Only One as well as more upbeat pop tunes arranged for Piano like Style by Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor's Lips Are Movin'.
