I recently took up piano again after 10 years of not playing, & remembered Robert Schulz doing some nice arrangements I enjoyed playing as a kid. So I ordered this book, & have had so much fun playing these songs. There is a great variety of music & its all easy enough to sight read, but still sounds good. What a great value, too. I highly reccommend this collection, it would be good for beginners as well as experienced players.

This book has become a favorite of mine. It contains many well-known songs that are easy to play, yet sound very full and not oversimplified. A must for the beginning/intermediate piano player.

I thought this book would be too hard. It is extremely challenging, but nothing that can't be played witha little hard work. I have been taking piano as an adult for 4 years and my instructor says this is the best classical collection for adults he has seen in many years. He ordered it for some of his other students. Great stuff and many composers to choose from.

I'm an adult learner so I'm not very fond of playing children songs (London Bridge came to mind). This book has interesting songs for adult learners who are tired of playing children songs or the simplified version of the old classical music. The arrangement is easy enough for somebody who's only been taking piano lessons for less than six months. The most important thing is, it has fingering suggestions. This is what's missing from so many music books that claim to be for "beginners".

Many students of mine have this book. The postivie is that it is indeed easy for them- young children with a couple years of lessons under their belt are able to play many of these songs.
The negative is that there are very few songs the children recognize- alot of songs from movies of the 70's are included.
The songs they do recognize, they love ( pink panther theme, jeopardy theme, the lion sleeps tonight)
