2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointingly incomplete, November 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The School House Rock Songbook (Paperback)

Only contains the ten songs "Conjunction Junction", "Dollars and Sense", "Electricity, Electricity", "The Great American Melting Pot", "I'm Just a Bill", "Interplanet Janet", "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly", "My Hero, Zero", "No More Kings" and "Three is a Magic Number". I would have been willing to pay three times as much for a complete set, or happy to get a consistent set (all History Rock, for example) but the odd selection is annoying and nearly useless. Don't buy it unless you are specifically looking for one of these songs.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun to play, August 9, 2002

Mrs. P - See all my reviews

This review is from: The School House Rock Songbook (Paperback)

I viewed this book at a bookstore before buying it so I knew exactly what it included. I have no problem with it being incomplete and I do have a lot of fun playing the pieces. I especially enjoy the fun bits -- the intro. to "Conjunction Junction" is a kick.

If you are a good pianist and have some rhythm (swing baby), you should be able to play the music.

One thing I don't like about most piano books (including this one) is the binding. Most of the time it's a real fight to keep the book open unless you break the binding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well...it WAS what I was looking for !, August 6, 2002

This review is from: The School House Rock Songbook (Paperback)

After reading the other reviews of this book, I realized it was exactly what I was looking for! I wanted sheet music for some of the songs. This book had many of the songs I was looking for...in particular "Interplanet Janet", "Three is a Magic Number", "I'm Just a Bill", and "Conjunction Junction".

If you are looking for sheet music for Schoolhouse Rock, this has some good ones in it! There is very little in the book besides the sheet music, so I could see why other people were disappointed if they didn't realize what this book really contained.
