This review is from: Jumbo Easy Piano Songbook: 200 Songs for All Occasions (Paperback)

I'm an adult who just returned to the piano last year after buying one for my family. Anyway I love this book. It really is easy to play with most of the songs having the melody in the right hand and often the left hand is just accompanying chords. Lots of old standards here like "Old Mill Stream" as well as some classics such as "Fur Elise" and many other songs you know you've heard before but just never knew the title. Plenty of well known folk songs from all cultures too. With 200 songs many as long as four pages you won't get bored easily and lyrics are included (if applicable) so you can sing along.

This review is from: Jumbo Easy Piano Songbook: 200 Songs for All Occasions (Paperback)

I teach piano to elementary and middle school kids. I bought this book as a Graduation/Christmas present for my graduating 8th graders. The two boys and the one girl really enjoy this book a lot! It's inspired them to sit down to the piano not just to practice but to noodle around too. Most of the arrangments in this book are better than other collections I've looked at. It's not a perfect book but it gives so much variety that all 3 of my 8th grade students are playing more between lessons.

This review is from: Jumbo Easy Piano Songbook: 200 Songs for All Occasions (Paperback)

Received this book and was very pleasantly surprised. When they say big, they mean big and weighty. I have a keyboard and this book weighs almost 4 pounds and my rack could not handle it all and also keeping it open to a song was practically impossible. Since I wanted the book to work, I took it to Kinko's, had the spine removed, had 3 holes punched and now I leave a majority of the pages in a large 3 ring binder and put a few songs in a smaller binder that my rack will accommodate. Turning the pages is much easier now and for the $7 I spent, well worth it. Lots of songs here and for a person just starting back on the piano, am very pleased with the selections. My limited ability fits right along with the songs, as they are not too hard or too easy.
