All 8 Songs are wonderful. The best part is the CD that has the same 8 songs played by Dan! I'm so glad that I found this music book from Amazon.com! If you enjoy Dan's arrangement style for the contemporary music, you'd not want to miss this one, 8 original songs composed by Dan!

I was very surprised and happy to find that they included a CD of the songs being played along with the book. I'm not a great pianist but these songs flow and while they are challenging, I do not get bogged down in them. Once or twice through and I was able to play them beautifully. Really nice arrangements, I would be proud to perform these pieces for anyone. Well done!

When you listen to the CD of Dan Coates playing that comes with this
music book, you think, "I could never play that". Well, maybe you can't play it as fast and as good as he does, but, the music is so expressive played slower at your speed and personal touch. His talent of putting arrangements together is phoenominal and I am enjoying this book so very much!!! I'm only an intermediate player but, his music makes me sound advanced. I recommend these selections to anyone...they are his own too, not someone elses music!

Love it! Fun, accessible pieces for intermediate pianists. My copy came with a CD ... I've used it with my piano students (kids & adults) and they're having a blast. Includes slower, arpeggiated pieces as well as very rhythmic jazzy pieces. Great for recital.

This book has such beautiful songs. They are just complicated enough to be advanced and yet flow beautifully. They are so much fun to play!

Love it! The CD that comes with it is a real bonus. Beautiful compositions and Dan Coates's playing is so inspiring.
