The songs are good, but the music is for the electronic instruments the group uses and really doesn't translate well to piano. Fun if you just want to play the music, but I didn't find much I could use for actual performance.
If you love this CD, you will love playing it on the piano. Not for the easy or intermediate level. Challenging enough for an advanced pianist, but not so much that you can't learn a few during the Christmas season. I loved playing several songs from this book. I had borrowed it from someone else, but would love to buy it for myself.
Great arrangements of well known christmas songs for the piano.A few a very difficult (odd tempos between right and left hands).None are 'easy'. Not for a beginner!And not really meant for caroling either, I think only one maybe two has words with it.If you love the Mannheim Steamrollers and love playing the piano, this is a must buy.
This music is awesome! The beautiful Mannheim Steamroller sounds and beats come to life through this book. The unit I purchased was spiral bound by the seller, which I think is an absolute necessity with these pieces. Some pieces are 8 pages long, with CODA's and repeats. It makes life so much more simple just having it spiral bound. If you cannot find one spiral bound, you can have it done at a local copy center. Also note that this is the REAL sheet music, and not some easy big-note piano! Be sure you are advanced enough to play these songs, or you won't like it. They are hard, but so beautiful!Cheers!
