4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, Good Arrangements, December 23, 2009

This is a good book for early intermediate/late elementary players. All of the songs arranged so that they aren't hard but still good. I play piano, although I bought this for my twelve year old grandson. I've tried a couple and they're very fun! If this you're range and you would like to play some good, popular songs, I'd buy this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok for VERY early beginners..., March 9, 2010

This review is from: Rolling Stone Magazine Sheet Music Classics, Volume 1: 39 Selections from the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (Easy Piano) (Paperback)

I purchased this and volume II to play and sing with friends when we get together. The arrangements are painfully easy (as in the treble is the melody exclusively); I would not buy this unless you are quite new to piano or like to improvise. Most of the songs are so watered down that they are no longer very fun to play or sing. Also, the binding is TERRIBLE. You have to practically break the book in half to get it to stay open, even my music clip wasn't helping very much. The plus side is you can sightread all of these songs perfectly, so you don't need to worry about running through them ahead of time.

This review is from: Rolling Stone Magazine Sheet Music Classics, Volume 1: 39 Selections from the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (Easy Piano) (Paperback)

This is a great collection to add to my library as a voice teacher. They are easy to play which is great for me because I am usually site reading as I teach and I want to be concentrating on the voices of my students rather than the difficulty of a piano score.
