As someone who can "sort of" play the keyboard, I really appreciate this songbook. Most of the songs are quite simple to play, yet they are also quite beautiful. Of the dozen or so sheet music books I own, this is my favorite. I amaze myself when I can sit down to play Where do I Begin and actually make lovely sounds with my amateur fingers.

I once watched a documentary on film scoring which pointed out the difference between movie music and TV music. TV theme music has to be frentic and grab your attention before you change the channel, the composer of movie music has the luxury of knowing his audience isn't going anywhere. Thus, movie music is often simple and emotional. Comparing the music in this song book with another I have of TV themes, this appears to be accurate. The movie themes are much gentler on the ears, and hurt the fingers less.

The book advertised on this page is not the one I received. In fact, many of the songs I purchased this book for were not included int he book I got.

I bought the book for my daughter and she loves it.
