Title: Easy but nice
Review: I bought this for my sister, who hasn't played in many years. She really likes the arrangements and they aren't too difficult for her.

Title: Great selection of beautiful pieces, nice arrangement
Review: This is a GREAT value at 100 pieces! A really nice curation of pieces, without any that feel like "filler."As others have stated, though, for a book this thick, it really needs to be spiral bound. I'll be spending quite a bit extra to have that done.

Title: Very Good Value
Review: A lot of great material here! Very good value for the money. Most of the accompaniments are OK, but some are not as good as the arrangements Hal Leonard published back in the 90s and early 2000s.

Title: GREAT BOOK. GREAT SONGS. IT WON'T DISAPPOINT!
Review: I think so far this is one of the best 'Big book' varieties I've purchased. It has it all. Up to date music. To me anyways. Without it being pop music. Very beautiful and very pleasant. Makes you want you to get up and play. And there's a lot more to experience the more you open the book.

Title: Lots to choose from!
Review: Iâm really enjoying this piano book filled with movie songs. Dates range from 1950 (Cinderella) to 2019 (Downton Abbey). Some are fairly easy to play; others a little more challenging. Great, varied selections.

Title: Go renditions
Review: I didn't actually end up keeping it because I didn't know enough of the songs, but the songs I did know were really good renditions.

Review: I'm a pianist and the pieces here include beautiful film themes so enjoyable to play on piano, like The Heart Asks Pleasure First and Forrest Gump theme..many more.If I had hours of free time I'd love to escape with this book.

Review: Most of the songs can be played on sight, v playable. The notation is clear, relatively easy for such a thick book to stay open

Review: Superb collection of beautiful music. Not easy. I am progressing from easy and this seems to be the next step. I can manage to "get the gist" using these as an enjoyable challenge. I get nice sounds but slowly and with mistakes. It's going to be great practise and what an incentive as I know that eventually they will sound how they are supposed to, which is totally gorgeous. There are a few bits where you need to hit more than a hand span of notes with one hand simultaneously, somehow, and a few glissandos, things like that which are technical things that I need to learn. But it's possible to work around those to still get a good approximation to the intention.I definitely recommend this to people who are well past beginners. You don't need to be a great player to enjoy it but you do need to have got the basics down pretty well. Once you get started on this standard, I think this book will be a friend for many years to come.

Review: There is a great variety of songs in this book and with this comes different levels of difficulty, like others have said I forward to being able to play them all in time. The book was delivered promptly and as advertised and it is of good quality. However, be warned this is a HUGE book, but what did I expect from a book with 100 pieces? its so big I don't think I'll be able to practically use it as it is on my piano music stand, I think I'm going to have to gently remove the pages and put them in a couple of ring binders or something. Another thing is that not every song in the book is Piano, Vocal and Guitar which is disappointing, even those scores which don't have vocals could have the chords for harmonic guidance (ev, I'm going to have to go through and write the chords in, which is going to take ages for some of the bigger scores. It could have been ring bound to make it more user friendly, and it could have included chords which is why I gave it the score I did.
