Not as good as the others but still good.
Published by Brenda , 2 years ago
I don't like the arrangements in this one as well as the others, not as advanced,but there are some great songs & if u can play you can tweak the arrangements. Some good songs like Fly Me To The Moon, Moonlight in Vermont, etc & Malaguena is very good; but compared to the other ones in the piano series, it just isn't as well done and doesn't have that original rendition beefy full sound and can be annoying if advanced player. The others are sensational. If u are beginner or semi intermediate, you'll learn a lot playing from these books. This is by far BETTER than any of those easy play books out there & will help you become more advanced player properly learning full chord structure. Don't try to learn on lifeless simplified easy play stuff, its boring & sounds terrible. This book has some really good songs like the theme song from "the Godfather" & Georgia & These Foolish Things.

Dan Fox makes the player sound stylishly modern and professional. Also , the book does not duplicate any selections in their previous books.

Great songs to play for a party or for your own enjoyment: Georgia on My Mind, I Left My Heart in San Francisco, It's Impossible, My Funny Valentine, The Shadow of your Smile, The Way You Look Tonight, On the Street Where You Live, Honky-Tonk Train. ALL of the songs are excellent piano melodies sutable for the intermediate player.

Great book for the intermediate pianist. It's one of my favorites. Reader's Digest needs to reprint it. I borrow it at the public library and would buy it if available.
Excellent. Great arrangements. Easy for a beginner.

This songbook has many of the great songs of my youth. The chords are easy, there are guitar chords written above the treble staff and the print is large enough for those of us over 50 to see. The arrangements are outstanding. I wish Readers' Digest would reprint this book. I'd buy it in a second. I have to borrow mine from the public library.

I wish Reader's Digest would print some more of these books. It is such an excellent composite of popular music and the arrangements are fantastic. If anyone has a copy, I would love to buy it.
