A MUST In EVERY Piano Library,
By
This review is from: Best Loved Songs of the American People (Paperback)
This book manages to touch on many levels. Whether you are a beginner looking for some not-so-intimidating arrangements of all-time favorites that don't sound over-simplified, or an occassional player looking for some easy-to-sight-read standards that have a full sound, or an accomplished player wanting a comprehensive collection of American favorites, this books is it. I got my first copy, a hard-cover edition probably 20 years ago. I used it constantly and eventually the book had no front cover... then no back cover. It was shot, but much loved! Then one day I saw the new paperback version "flat-lay" bound and flipped!! Of course I snatched it up immediately, and it remains my favorite book to turn to when I want to sit down and play "songs people know" for fun. I am a piano teacher and have used this book with some students, who also love it.

If you love showtunes, this is the book for you!,
By sally bishop (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Loved Songs of the American People (Paperback)
OK, so your friends roll their eyes when you break out into a tap dance, feigning your best Jimmy Cagney impression to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy. But if George M. Cohen and Whistling Dixie are right up your alley, then you are in some rare luck with this hard-to-find gem. This book features the sheet music from all the famous American composers and Broadway musicals. I have been playing the music from this book since the age of 10 or so, so 17 years and two copies later, I'm eager to return to the classics. They're all here: Bicycle Built for Two, Man on the Flying Trapeze, Buffalo Gals, Bird in a Guilded Cage, Shenandoah, On the Sidewalks of New York, and my Scottish grandfather's favourite, In the Gloaming. So take it from a showtune fanatic--this book is a great collector's item!
