5.0 out of 5 stars This is a really outstanding collection of songs/melodies!!!, November 21, 1998

This review is from: The Melody Book: 300 Selections from the World of Music for Piano, Guitar, Autoharp, Recorder and Voice (3rd Edition) (Spiral-bound)
I am a Music Therapist working with different populations. I havebeen using the 1983 edition of The Melody Book and was delighted to find a new edition, incorporating old favorites and adding new ones. The songs/melodies are wonderful selections, all singable, in appropriate keys, and are of such wonderful variety! As I looked through this book time after time I thought, "THERE that song is! I've been looking and looking--and now I have found it!" I marvel at how much work must have gone into collecting these songs. The background notes are interesting and add to the enjoyment. Various movements/dances are in easy-to-follow format. As in the 1983 book, the index is also great! I wish I could afford to give this book to my music therapist friends. I will certainly recommend it!

3.0 out of 5 stars dissappointed, April 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Melody Book: 300 Selections from the World of Music for Piano, Guitar, Autoharp, Recorder and Voice (3rd Edition) (Spiral-bound)
The purchasing process went very well but the book itself was less than expected for an autoharp beginner.
Maybe someday when I learn more about the harp.

5.0 out of 5 stars have always loved this book!, April 28, 2009
This review is from: The Melody Book: 300 Selections from the World of Music for Piano, Guitar, Autoharp, Recorder and Voice (3rd Edition) (Spiral-bound)
I am a Music Therapist and I have been using this book (2nd edition) off and on since 1996. It has every song you've ever heard of growing up and more. At the end each song is indexed by instruments, number of chords required to play each song, and by genre, which makes finding an appropriate song much easier! I have always loved this book!
