4.0 out of 5 stars As advertised has some of the more recent Disney tunes, July 16, 2006

This review is from: Disney Mega-Hit Movies: 38 Contemporary Classics from The Little Mermaid to High School Musical 2 (Easy Piano) (Paperback)

As advertised this volume contains songs from the more recent Disney movies though "Lilo and Stitch" which was released in 2002 is the newest. I really liked the arrangements from "Aladdin" "Lion King" "Beauty and the Beast" "Hunchback" and "Toy Story". The rest of the songs didn't seem to be as melodic perhaps because I'm not very familiar with the songs and movies where they originated. Full lyrics are included as well as musical introductions and transitions. Some selections are as long as sixteen pages though most range from six - ten pages. The pieces are pretty easy to play though some songs venture out of the keys of C and F where most beginners are most comfortable. All in all a good collection.

This review is from: Disney Mega-Hit Movies: 38 Contemporary Classics from The Little Mermaid to High School Musical 2 (Easy Piano) (Paperback)

I am definitely a beginner at piano. I am 17 and have been playing for 6 months (though when I started I could already read music) and I can play many of the songs in this book. There is definitely quite a range of difficulty even though the whole book is "easy". I just love this book! It has all the favorite songs from Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin and then some. I have the other popular Easy Disney Piano book called "The Disney Collection" which has some of the good classic songs, but this book in my opinion has much better songs. If you are a beginner and want to learn fun songs or are a better player and want to be able to learn all your favorite songs quickly, get this book! In case you wanted to know (I did, read the other reviews and couldn't find it), you can find out all the songs by going to Hal Leonard's website, searching for this book, and then clicking "View Songlist." It gives you a full list of everything in the book!

Some of the most popular ones are:

A Whole New World, Be our Guest, Beauty and the Beast, Go the Distance, Can you Feel the Love Tonight, Circle of Life, Hakuna Matata, Part of your World, Under the Sea, Colors of the Wing, You'll be in My Heart, and You've got a Friend in Me. This is just a small selection though, there are many more! (:

I am a piano teacher, and my students have loved looking through this book for ideas. The variety of titles is great, and for the price, it's an awesome deal. Most of the arrangements are excellent.
