The Willis Catalogue
Willis Music's flagship is John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course — one of the most-adopted American children's piano methods of the 20th century, in print continuously since 1936. William Gillock's pedagogical compositions are also part of the Willis catalogue, plus the Lynn Freeman Olson and Carolyn Miller method-book series.
