I bought this for my sons and found it right on par for their level of piano. I like this series b/c of the mix of songs they put in each book at each level. I could be improved with an accompaniment for more mature player to do together.
I was delighted to find a book of Bastien leveled Christmas carols! WONDERFUL to know that my daughter could play them at her current skill level. Nice variety of songs. She's in the other Bastien level 2 books, and this was right on par. She learned two well and others a little in December. Nothing was out of her league.
Songs are easy to play and they sound good with the exception of "Jingle Bells".
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this book. It's okay and is what it's supposed to be. My only thing is that for a level 2 book, most level 2 players aren't playing more than 2-4 songs in a week. There are many to choose from, but it's probably not likely you'll get through the whole book before the end of the season.
Already played most of level one songs I had to move on to level two. Currently playing about four songs just in time for the holidays.
