As a pianist with about 8 years of lady-next-door training and 3 years with college professors, I find these arrangements to be challenging, yet very playable, and very unique. They follow the melody enough to be enjoyable for anyone hooked on Josh's CD, yet have beautifully arranged accompaniments as well. I don't like it when I buy the piano version only to find it doesn't resemble anything I heard on the CD, or that the melody line is omitted, to be filled in by the singer - it makes them less enjoyable to play. These arrangements are not like that, but provide everything they should - great music to enjoy playing!

This is a must have for all Josh Groban musician fans. The piano part is arranged beautifully, and actually has a melody line, unlike some piano arrangements that are meant for accompaniment purposes only. This allows you to enjoy the music even if you're not singing along. The piano accompaniment covers the orchestral part wonderfully, and it is not very challenging music to learn. Inside, there are also awesome glossy of Josh Groban. It is a quality made book of music that is perfect for the Grobanite who is looking to enjoy Josh Groban's music in a different way. I highly recommend this to all pianists and vocalists; you will not be able to put this music book down!

This songbook contains some beautiful photos of Josh and all the songs from his debut album. It would make a wonderful addition to your collection of everything Josh as well as for any aspiring musicians to use.

This book is great if you want to learn the words to some really beautiful songs or learn to play them on piano. I bought it to learn the words to the Italian and Spanish songs. It's very useful in that way. You can read along and listen and learn how to pronounce the words and after a few listens you'll be singing along with Josh. His self titled cd is a must have. His voice is heavenly and he is not an opera singer, he's a classically trained vocalist that could sing anything he wants.

I don't play a musical instrument, I don't know how to read notes, but I do know that this book is a must have if only for the pictures and its importance to music history. Josh is destined to be the music super-star of this century..There's no one like him.......

This songbook is GREAT!!! This book includes guitar chords, piano, and lyrics. The piano music is challenging but you'll feel great when you finally learn to play a song. I spent three days learning how to play Starry, starry night and now whenever my mother hears me playing she gasps and says "that sounds just like the cd". My hard work paid off and so will yours. Buy this book and enjoy!

This song book is a must for all vocalists, as if nothing more than a training tool. A must have for Grobanites :)

I am not nearly as gifted in the vocal department as Josh is, however, I do play the flute, and after getting hooked on his cd, I got this book. The wonderful things about this book is that since the melody is there, I can play the melody. The songs are in an easy enough key, and the notes are never out of reach. Josh Groban is young still, and I simply can not wait to see what his voice will be like in 10 years. If you like to play excellent music, this book is wonderful. You may find, however, that it will be necessary to raise the songsb y an octave (mainly due to the limitations of your instrument) but the result is the same, and still powerful.

Uh, I'm not sure what the last person was talking about...Josh handles the high notes very well. His voice is so beautiful. Clearly, he's gotten as far as he has for a good reason. If he was the same as the rest of the young vocalists in this country, then tell me why exactly he's famous and selling MILLIONS of albums. Yeah, that's what I thought.

It is true... there aren't any true classical art songs in this collection. And yes, Josh may not be ready to sing opera. HOWEVER, he is still in training and he defintely has an opera voice in the making. The songs in this collection are amazing, Josh is amazing and whoever thinks otherwise is jealous and in denial.
