This review is from: High School Musical: Vocal Selections (Piano / Vocal / Guitar) (Sheet music)

The problem with this piano/vocal book is not in the music itself. The translation from orchestration to piano accompanyment is solid, but several selections are not well suited for the piano. Songs such as "Get'cha Head in the Game," "We're All in This Together," and to a lesser extent "Bop to the Top" were never meant to be played on the piano because they are rhythmically driven. The songs that do translate to the piano well are "Start of Something New," "What I've Been Looking For," "When There Was Me and You," and "Breaking Free." The other two songs are just okay in my estimation.

If you really want to learn to play the 4 songs or so mentioned, then get the book. If you're looking for a full-scale onslaught of High School Musical accompanyment, you're probably just not going to find it in a piano/vocal book due to the aforementioned rhythm-driven songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is awsome, August 25, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: High School Musical: Vocal Selections (Piano / Vocal / Guitar) (Sheet music)

I've been following the notes of the book for weeks. I'm the master at "Breakin Free." I havent stopped exept for bed, for food, and doing favors for my siblings. Once, I played until midnight and could'nt wait for the mourning to play more. If you're like 8 and above, get the regular version, because I went to my friends house and I brought up the easy version, it turned out he had it and he hates the easy version because its way too easy. I saw it, and it looked like a book for 5 year olds. I showed him my regular version, he played it, and he loved it. He said it was much more fun than the baby book.

Would you rather have a baby book meant for little little kids, or would you rather have a normal and slightly hard book for a nice, fun challenge and see yourself get better and better every day? THE CHOICE IS YOURS!

2.0 out of 5 stars high school musical vocal/piano/guitar, January 15, 2008

My daughter was very excited about getting this book. She loves High School Musical. When we received it in the mail she sat down to play it and was very disappointed, she is a level 4 piano player and found this music very difficult to play. We thought the easy version would be to easy, so went with this one. We should have stuck with the easier version. Unless you are a really good piano player, I would not recommend this book.
