5.0 out of 5 stars Great book and good for beginners, August 22, 2002

Beatles fan and beginner pianist (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beatles Greatest Hits [Easy Piano] (Sheet music)

I bought this because it was recommended for beginners. The arrangements are easy and a lot of fun to play. The rythymn is not always precisely what you'd here on the original recording; but you can "rubato" it a little to make it work. On some of the slower songs, filling in the 7ths makes the sound better.

I wish there were more dynamic markings for loudness to help better duplicate what you hear on the record/CD. But then again, these are "Easy Piano" arrangements.

I highly recommend this book for beginners who want to make music and not just play the piano.

5.0 out of 5 stars Songs in Beatle Keys, September 11, 2005

This review is from: Beatles Greatest Hits [Easy Piano] (Sheet music)

This is an excellent book for beginners. The songs are a lot of fun to play and you can always "experiment" to get the rhythm closer to what the Beatles played.

Since this is a book for beginners, it is good to keep in mind that there is always room for trial, error and experimentation. After all, the Beatles were virtuosos of experimental music, the experimental phase which began in late 1965 with "Rubber Soul" to their final recording together.

This is one I'd highly recommend for people who want to play Beatle music and have some fun with it, which one would expect you would.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for A Beginning Pianist, June 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Beatles Greatest Hits [Easy Piano] (Sheet music)

I bought this book and love it. At first, it was a bit difficult, but I found the more I practiced, the better I sounded. It sounds very much like the arrangements on the Beatles CD. I wish there were more books like this. This book is so popular that my local music store has a hard time keeping it in stock.
