This collections of over 70 songs includes not only the lyrics, but music for piano and guitar as well. This book has been useful for me several times, such as when needing a song to sing at an audition or for an improvised, non-rehearsed performance. Some of the songs include:All I Ask of YouBlue SkiesCan You Feel the Love TonightClimb Ev'ry MountainImagineThe Lady Is a TrampLet It BeLove Me TenderMemoryMy Favorite ThingsMy Funny ValentineOl' Man RiverPiano ManThe Rainbow ConnectionSomewhere Out ThereStar DustUnchained MelodyWhen I Fall in LoveA Whole New WorldYesterdayThis is just a small list because there are a total of 73 songs. A great song book.
This book has a wonderful selection of songs and the music in it is not too difficult. The music is complicated enough to sound good, but easy enough for not-so-talented people such as myself to be able to play it. With piano, guitar, and vocal music it's great for people with various musical backgrounds.
This book is overloaded with broadway tunes. I would like more variety in the selections. Hal threw in a few Beatle tunes for variety. Could use more movie tracks and popular songs outside of the New York circle.There are a lot of songs in this book that I don't like or don't like enough to want to play them.The book is well made and the music is not terribly difficult. The words, vocal line, and cords are provided along with the piano line. Arrangements are mediocre.
I play for my own enjoyment and this book is great! It's easy playing and you sound like a pro. I highly recommend it.
If you want to play like the pianist in a good restaurant, this is for you. The arrangements have a sophisticated sound without being terribly difficult. Most players need maybe five years of lessons/experience to handle them readily. And, usually the book lies flat on the music rack,
This is a good book with a lot of good selections of popular songs. However, I wish it was in a ring binder because it is difficult to keep it open. And like one of the other reviewers I would have liked to have seen a few more up to date songs and less Broadway songs. The songs that are in it are enjoyable to play and they do make you sound like a pro which makes me happy as it is so easy for me to NOT sound like a pro. An enjoyable book that I would recommend.
It was my own fault, but this was not the book I meant to buy. If I would have looked more closely, I would have noticed that this one is not only for piano,but also vocals and guitar, which makes all the notes smaller and harder to read. Plus, with all the other parts on the same page, you have to turn the page more frequently. So I returned it and got the same book just for Piano. Love the new one. Songs are good and it's not too hard. The words are there as well, so you can sign along.
