I am a piano teacher, and have used this book for many students. It tends to become a favorite book. The arranger did an excellent job of communicating the essence and mood of the pieces using simple looking, yet in reality complex chord structures. Very fun book.

This is chockful of easy to play (not very beginner) songs with lyrics that make it fun to sing along. Had all the classic (before the 90's) Disney movie songs I could think of plus "Zorro" "Tiki Room Theme" and some other Disney related stuff I wasn't expecting. Fun book for kids and adults. One warning this is "classic" stuff and I think "The Little Mermaid" is the most recent movie that has songs included.

Although they are "old" song, these songs will last for a long time. It is a great book to look back and recapture the memories we have. Great for beginner/intermediate pianists and/or singers.

For those who are less skilled on the piano, and enjoy the Disney music, this seems to suit very well. The tunes are easily recognized and learned. My [...] enjoys learning tunes she sees on her favorite DVD's! Good choice for the beginner!

I purchased this for one of my piano students. It has a wonderful selection of songs in it. However, I really don't consider it easy piano. Seems there has been a trend towards making things harder and labeling them as easy. But it's still a great book. My student is currently starting Piano Adventures Lesson book 2, and this was a bit too much for her.

I have been studying piano for like 8 months now and I've been searching for different music books since I want to try something challenging and interesting at the same time. This book has it all: most songs are simplified but still challenging enough for beginners and come on, those are DISNEY songs. If you love to play songs from Disney movie, you should totally consider this book!

I have looked all over the theme parks and I have not found this edition. I love it! It is nice to be an intermediate piano player who can have fun playing disney tunes as well as have the ability to improvise left hand material!

GRREEEAATT!!! If you love disney songs like I do, you should definitely get this book. All the songs have vocal and piano parts. I for one only use the voice. This book is definitely the best disney classics book.

My daughter loves the book. The songs are easy to play. It was a great book for intermediate piano player.

This is a nice collection of songs throughout the entire span of Disney. It has a good mix of newer songs and older songs. They are mostly at the beginner to intermediate level.
