My teacher taught me out of this book when I was little and to this day, even though I have progressed to very difficult and involved classical music, it is still one of my favorite music books ever. It is a great collection for young pianists to learn performing pieces and the music is just so much fun for the whole family to gather around and sing and just listen to. The pieces are mostly early American traditional songs, but some lighter classical pieces are included as well.

I think part of what makes this collection so enjoyable is that Maxwell Eckstein did a wonderful job of arranging them simply but still prettily. Some of the pieces I like his version better than the original!

This a just a delightful music book, I stlll enjoy it and I think anyone who buys it will too.

This was the first music I ever played. My piano teacher thought it wise that I learn classical pieces as well as American songs and marches. He was right. I adored this book and even though it is very easy for me now,I still sometimes play from it. This is for grades 1-2 and includes "America the Beautiful", "The Merry Widow Waltz", "Old Black Joe", and "Ave Maria". Piano teachers, get a copy of this fabulous book!

This book of piano music is ideally arrange for those of us whose skills never advanced beyond the point when were taking piano lessons in elementary school.

I was excited to learn there was a second Max Eckstein piano book... the first one I have played out of since childhood... as well as my daughter and niece. We are looking forward to enjoying the second one as much as we have the first one. A great selection of songs.
