This book was my first introduction to New Age piano music. I fell in love with the pieces right away. The pieces are challenging enough to create interest for an experienced player but not so difficult that that they take a long time to master. Featured artists include Michael Jones, David Lanz, and Wayne Gratz, among others. A variety of styles to explore.

Difficulty-Medium to hard. All inspiring. Your imagination will be flowing. Beautiful arrangements. Descriptions of the pieces are only listed for Michael Jones. It would be nice to have descriptions for the remaining 13 pieces. I purchased "Piano Sampler 2" after playing this book. A good addition to anyone's music library.

The book highlights work from Micheal Jones, Daivd Lanz, Spencer Brewer, Richard Souther, and Wayne Gratz. Having never heard the composers before borrowing the book, I was still able to pick up the book and play. It is simple yet soothing music that can be understood and felt easily. Every time I returned this book back to the library I missed it, so I bought one for myself.

The music in this piano book is really quite lovely and not that difficult to play. Even a novice like me can play most of the pieces, yet they are complicated enough that they don't sound like music for beginners. I am looking forward to the publication of more of these types of music. (I am Henry's wife, btw.)

I was very pleased at how quickly this order came.

Narada New Age Sampler arrived in good condition, and the contents are excellent. I am using the music for therapeutic music in a hospital.

This is a superb collection of New Age piano solos by a variety of composer/artists. I've purchase this for myself and given it as a gift to other pianists.

I thought the songs would be interesting but easy to play. They were easy to play, but pretty boring. I'll never play them after reading them. For this type of music/level I'd suggest George Winston's Piano Solos.
