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

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

Selections from Star Wars for Recorder (Music Is Fun)
Average 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.
