Since my son and I both play Bb instruments (he plays trumpet, I play clarinet), the trumpet book is all we need. This is a great book for getting your kids to practice, practice, practice! :)

Star Wars -- A Musical Journey: Music from Episodes I - VI (Big Note Piano) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review may hold true for all the "Big Note Piano" songbooks put out by Alfred Publishing as we've loved them all. It's perfect for my Late Beginner students and my 10-yr. old son who transports himself to another world when playing these arrangements. It's challenging enough as it offers lots of practice with different hand positions, keys, accidentals, eighth notes, meter, chords and intervals (just about every aspect of music). But simple enough that the pianist doesn't get frustrated. At the same time, it's mostly familiar music of favorite movies and songs, which offers motivation for the pianist. Even as an accomplished pianist and teacher, I LOVE playing from them!
Alfred Publishing needs to put out MORE "Big Note Piano" songbooks for kids!!! We currently also own "Harry Potter: Magical Music from the First Five Years and "The Polar Express". Would love to see "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Tangled" (along with more recent Disney hits), as well as more recent cartoon theme songs.

Selections from Star Wars for Recorder (Music Is Fun) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, this is a good recorder book...if you have a recorder. I don't recall seeing a no recorder notice on the product. I bought a cheap walmart one to use. And then played some of the first couple songs. I'm looking forward to when I can really play it. I recommend this for those who know how to go beyond B, A, G, C, and D notes. Cause the actual SW songs include the other notes. So, it is not really simple. But it will be enjoyable if you've learned other notes.

5 Finger Star Wars: 10 Exciting Selections from the Movie Saga Arranged for Piano with Optional Duet Accompaniments Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The title "5 Finger Star Wars" implies that the pieces will be laid out in 5 finger CONSECUTIVE positions. These arrangements are "SPLAYED OUT" 5 fingers making it very difficult for the beginner to figure out unless he/she already knows how to read all the notes on both staves perfectly. If they could read perfectly they wouldn't need any kind of 5 finger position piece. My beginners are very discouraged and disappointed in this so called 5 finger pattern arrangement, as am I.

Star Wars - A Musical Journey Episodes I-VI - Piano Solos Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Obviously, kids like this music. Dan Coates does a really great job of arranging the sometimes complex music of John Williams so that it can be played by kids, but sounds sophisticated. There is also a range of difficulty of the pieces contained in this book. The "Star Wars Main Theme," and the "Imperial March" are fairly easy and straight forward. "May the Force Be With You" and "Cantina Band" are somewhat more difficult. I would say that if your kid is at the level 2A-B, he (she) would be able to stretch a bit and play the easier selections. The harder selections could be approached by level 3A-B students, although my son was able to master some of the harder arrangements (with considerable practice) coming from level 2B, and improved his musicality accordingly. Thus, children will be able to go back to this book time and time again as their ability increases. The Coates Star Wars arrangements must be popular at recitals as attested to by the large number of videos of these pieces on You Tube.
