The Sound of Music Beginner's Piano Book | Easy Piano Sheet Music for Piano, Vocal, and Guitar | Includes 8 Classic Songs | Hal Leonard Easy Piano Songbook

It's great to have the most popular Sound of Music songs in one book. It has very nice renditions of the songs at a Beginners level. The melody line is just one note at a time and so is the bass most of the time. However, as simple as they are, the songs actually sound quite nice so I feel that a student that has learned note recognition and can play using one sharp or one flat would really enjoy these songs. An extra perk is that the chords are given so this could be used by someone who has learned some music theory to enhance the songs--or it could be used for guitar.The songs are:Climb Ev'ry MountainDo-Re-MiEdelweissMariaMy Favorite ThingsSixteen Going On SeventeenSo Long, FarewellThe Sound of Music

Just got them great look great fit love them immediately ordered the red would have ordered grey and black also but did not have Mr size. I have one fit with an instep higher. These fit both feet beautifully. Did not have to yank to get them on. Will wear them far into spring. They are a dress boot do not have to wear socks. Feet state perfect temp. These are not snow boots but easy to get snow boots these are complete outfit boots. I will keep checking stock get black grey if they come in my site. Have a firm tie nice. Love love love the boot super price super dealer

I bought this 'Sound of Music:Easy PIano' and an 'Easy Piano' edition of Mary Poppins at the same time, for a specific piano studentto use....and I noticed that the Mary Poppins book DID follow the usual 'Easy Piano' guidelines but this edition of Sound of Music does not."Easy Piano" these days implies specific guidelines for arrangers/editors.Unless I am mistaken, this edition does not follow the current guidelines for 'Easy Piano'.Maybe in the early 60's when these arrangements were made by Mark Nevin,this WAS the current style for 'Easy Piano'. But today's typical 'Easy Piano' is easier than this.Therefore the product listing is misleading: "The Sound of Music: Easy Piano".In my case, this was not what I wanted. I can use this book with another student,but not with the student I bought it for.Specifically, these arrangements include lots of slurs, staccato, crescendo, diminuendo,dotted eighth sixteenths, eighth note triplets, and a smaller font size typical of older engravings.The note choices (no more than two notes at once in either hand) do seem fine for Easy Piano.There is a supposedly simpler edition called 'Beginner Piano Solos' edited by Bill Boyd,I have that on order, because this edition does not fit the parameters I wanted for a certain student.I also ordered an easy piano edition with play a long CD, and will try that one out too.What SHOULD this edition be listed as, if not 'Easy Piano'? Maybe 'Early Intermediate'?

My daughter has been playing piano for about 5 months. This is a little advanced for her, but she can work through some of the songs. There’s several hand switches in a piece and some eight notes on the base clef line... along with sharps and flats mixed in. My daughter loves the movie so much that she’s tackling it though!

Ordered this for my mom, she loved it.

One song has lots of letters for beginners to follow but its mostly notes. Bummer.

Does not include all of the songs from the movie but has most. Bass clef arrangements are not always pleasing to the ear but that's an easy fix by playing chords instead of written bass clef notes in those areas that sound less than pleasing. I'm an advanced beginner and I'm enjoying learning and playing the songs.

this is good for beginners, and I am more than that,, will try and order again for more advanced, but good selection

I love this book and have used it a lot to teach my piano studentsAbout grade 1, ore just above - but lovely arrangements make it sound more sophisticated than that.

Sheet music piano book bought as a birthday present for my nephew - he loved it.

Perfect book for young pianists. My 8 year old daughter loves this book and finds the pieces just the right level for her.

Absolutely delighted with the Sound of Music, music book. This item was well packaged. Thank you. Laura McDonald.

Great for beginners but not quite as exciting as singing along to the full film soundtrack. Well, I never though I would hear myself saying that but there you go!
