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 (Five Finger Piano) (5 Finger) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a teacher of over 15 years I am always looking for modern and popular songs for my male students. Finding beginner level music can be a challenge. This book was great as it had a good collection of songs form Star Wars and accompanying duets. I have used several with students that have taken about 4-6 months of lessons.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (Piano Solos) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Film composer extraordinaire John Williams closes out the Star Wars saga on a good note (no pun intended). Those who currently own other Star Wars sheet music will notice that this book includes previously published pieces such as "The Force Theme" and "End Title/Credits". However, the hauntingly sorrowful "Anakin's Dark Deeds" and the fast paced Maestoso "Battle of the Heroes" in orchestration take the viewer on an emotional roller coaster that has "Duel of the Fates" like intensity. This book, written for piano solo, is a farily accurate representation of the soundtrack. However, you will find that some of the pieces are not in their original key and require tranposition to be played along with the soundtrack. For a fan of John Williams or Star Wars, this is a book worth having in your collection.

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.

Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace (Star Wars Instrumental Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After expanded releases of all the other three Star Wars movies, it was expected that someone would release an expanded edition of The Phantom Menace soundrack. Well, it finally happened, and of course it is worth the price tag. John Williams' 120+ minutes of masterly music is wonderful. The quality is great and the packaging is phenomenal.
On the down side, there are a few things that make this only a four-star buy. Unlike its predecessors, this two-disc set is not made from the original master tapes. It is simply taken directly from the film, an isolated music track if you will. Although it is nice since it is in true chronological order, many of the tracks run into each other, and they are cut up to fit the film. For instance, in the end of the film the music changes as the viewpoint goes from the space battle to the ground battle. This carries directly to the soundtrack, so most of the end songs are cut up between numerous tracks without any fade ins or fade outs.
This aside, the sheer wealth of new music and fine packaging are reasons to buy this soundtrack. Notable in the new music is the song where Anakin leaves his mother (track 1 on disc 2). Also notable are some annoying and unecessary "extra" tracks (skip them).
Along with the two-cds it comes with a long booklet that has many pictures from the film (it does not have any music commentary like the previous ones unfourtunatly). Although it would have been nicer if this release was more like the previous expanded releases, the new music makes it worth the buy. To get the true experience, I would recommend buying both this and the original Phantom Menace soundtrack release though.
