Easily 5 stars, this book is an unregrettable buy for students and teachers (especially) alike. However, it should be noted that books like this are dangerous because they can catch you in a loop of non-progression. Because the pieces are of the beginning levels and because the volume is so vast one can easily cease to challenge themselves progressively. Do not think of this book as a substitute for learning complex pieces but instead as a recipe book for beautiful music on the fly. Even for the well learned pianist it is invaluable for being able to produce enjoyable music for yourself and others without intense study. Still, I certainly recommend not allowing it to replace Anna's Notebook or the Well Tempered Clavier. Remember, transcriptions to a single instrument will not be as complex as an entire orchestra anyway, so there is no shame in using this volume- just so long as you don't limit yourself to it! That said, I have to also say that the composition has been well thought. Fingering is provided. And perhaps most importantly the library is vast, varied and popular- Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Handel, Joplin, Mozart, Tchaikovsky are only a most popular fraction of this volume and are provided at an unbeatable price. Also, thankfully, the book is plastic comb bound so the pages will stay open at the piano and can be easily laid flat for scanning and are removable.
I've been playing piano for only 1 year, and I can play many of the pieces in the book. There are alot of familiar classics, and many unfamilair ones that are easy enough, and enjoyable enough to figure out.
This is a 350+ page book containing a lot of beaultiful songs. Although the arrangement isn't exactly the "easiest", many of them can be managed by beginners.And it's spiral bound, making it so easy to use!
The title of this book is completely misleading. I have been taking formal piano lessons for about 6 months and would consider myself to be a beginner. The compilations of this book are geared towards an intermediate piano player, even beyond. If you are starting off piano this book is a complete waste of money, theres only a few pieces you will be able to play. I showed this to my piano teacher who was not happy with this purchase at all.
For an almost self-taught hobby pianist, the other book ' Favorites' was essential for the joy for these fifteen years.I noticed I can play some more new-to-me music. I checked into , and to my delight saw this book sold for one cent.The editors are different from my first book. Some arrangements are better in the 'Favorite' book, while others are better arranged on this 'Classic' book.I enjoy both of these books. ' Danny Boy' in the 'Favorite' and 'Spring Song' in my new acquisition are so perfectly beautiful, I sometimes mistakenly wonder if I had a hidden piano talent emerging.
a large book of classics. Mainly one pager of music score. level is aimed more at late beginners with music theory ir how to read sharps and flats, etc. I am a beginner and there are some pieces a little above my music theory, but there are many pieces that I am practicing from. I was a self-teaching for about 4 months before getting a teacher, which now pushes me to play outside of my comfort level! this book is recommended to complement your lessons, and I may play one as part of my lesson to show how much I understood the rhymthm of the score... which is a dilemma many students have to learn! Definately recommend as a useful tool as part of learning to read music and learning to play the piano!
I bought this book so I could play beautiful music while I learn the piano. I have been playing about a year with no lessons but I could already read music when I started.I started folding the corner of pages that I enjoyed playing. Right now about one in five is folded over. In my opinion, this book has a wide range of skill levels. The joplin stuff seems a little out of character with the rest of the book and is too difficult compared to the rest, but it is approachable since even the hardest pieces in this book have easy key signatures. Since this is such a large book, if there are pieces or even entire pieces you cant handle or don't like, then keep looking and you're bound to find something.
