This songbook contains a lot of nice tunes with written scores. Nice to play from this book. I will recomend this songbook from Reader's Digest along with the rest of Reader's Digest Songbooks. I have purchased almost everyone of them.
I love all of the Readers' Digest music books. They sit well on the piano. The hard covers and wire binding are great. The arrangements are fun, sound great and are not too difficult to play. And you get a lot of wonderful tunes with a bit of history for each at a terrific price. Copying songs on the internet costs $4-$6 each. What a deal!
This is a book of hits from the 30s ,40s, and 50s.I don't know a lot of them , but have friends that do. I play for nursing homes and they will enjoy these tunes.
The book arrived in very good condition. There were very few songs that I knew. In the future I will only buy if I can see the song listing. I didn't recognize any of the Bing Crosby hits, Tommy Dorsey hits, or others of the 30's, 40's and 50's.
Sheet-music-lovers rejoice! Readers' Digest's many sheet-music books over the years are available from . The Parade of Popular Hits has several of my favorites. Certain songs may appear in more than one book (rarely), but always with a different accompaniment.Sing! Listen! Enjoy! Buy these books.
I play piano for Seniors in a Rehab facility and different retirement homes - and they LOVE the oldies but goodies in this songbook. Arrangements are not difficult - easy to embellish with improvisation. They bring back wonderful memories for these good folks--and me as well.
This songbook came to me in excellent condition excluding the back page that had been torn out. The book was delivered in a timely manner, and met all of my expectations. I always prefer a spiral bound songbook, and that is exactly what I got. .com is my number 1 site to order alll of my piano music. I get the best price in selecting their used items, which are in great shape. The songbook contains songs that I wasn't familiar with, and the music was perfect for my playing ease.
If you love having music for standards on hand, these Reader's Digest books are great. The only other option for sheet music hoarders was "Sheet Music Magazine," but I just received notice this week that they have stopped publication. So grab these books while you can at these great prices.
