This review is from: 10 for 10 Sheet Music Top Movie Hits: Easy Piano Solos (Sheet music)

My only complaint about this book is that it's a little more advanced than I was hoping. From what I've been able to plunk out, I think the songs will sound good, they're just going to be a challenge. I was aware "easy piano" was going to be just a little above my son's level (~2 years of lessons), but he's at least interested in working on the familiar tunes.

I've taught piano for 24 years and this is one of the most popular books with my students. They ask when it's going to be their turn to use it. The songs are all ones they know and want to play and they also teach skills necessary for playing secular music. I recommend it for everyone learning to play who wants to have some fun.

This review is from: 10 for 10 Sheet Music Top Movie Hits: Easy Piano Solos (Sheet music)

I really only concentrated on the Danny Elfman theme for "Corpse Bride" and perused the ostinato opening of the version of John Williams's "Superman" theme and was pleased with both actually as wonderful material for school-age children who express an interest in playing the piano. These two alone make a good contrast in terms of introducing children to contrasting musical approaches ("Corpse Bride" for arpeggiated legato flow and "Superman" for rhythmic thirds). It is fun! It seems that each piece is a little lesson unto itself. The "Corpse Bride" theme, though "easy" to play, sounds lush and evocative, altogether capturing the gothic poignancy of the piece. You have to work at getting the notes "under the fingers," of course, but it is all there, and these simplfied versions allow the player to see the shapes of the music more readily, making reading music an exploration rather than a chore, which is what it always should be first and foremost.
