Sublime -- Easy Guitar Anthology: 20 Greatest Hits Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i own both, 40oz to frredom and self titled sublime sheet music books, and i saw this book in a sam goody store. and i saw they were totally different music. when they say easy, they mean EASY. they don't have begginings to 80% of the songs. "saw red" was only the chorus. "doin time" was only the part where brad sings. "krs 1" was only the verse. "date rape" was only the beggining. oh yeah to make everything worse, there are no solos in the whole ... book.

Your Musical Child Book (String Letter Publishing) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Your Musical Child: Inspiring Kids For Keeps by music educator and child development expert Jessica Baron Turner is a guidebook to nurturing musical talent in children. Practical advice concerning everything from in utero exposure; to music (while science has proven nothing about the effects of music on an unborn child, it is certainly a good thing if classical music relaxes the pregnant mother); to selecting an instrument that is right for one's child; to encouraging regular practicing without overdoing it; to selecting properly qualified teachers, and so much more, make Your Musical Child very strongly recommended reading for any parent or caregiver with a musically inclined child in their charge.

Phillips, Craig and Dean - The Ultimate Collection (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I help to lead a men's vocal group that sings periodically at our church.I'm always looking for music that we can sing together, and I stumbled upon this resource when I bought the Phillips, Craig, and Dean "Ultimate Collection" CD for my wife.After listening to the album, I thought that we could probably sing some of this stuff, so I purchased this songbook.For the most part, I'm glad that I did.

The arrangements seem to match the PC&D recordings almost completely.The piano arrangements are obviously less elaborate then some of the accompaniment tracks on their album, but the piano parts seem to provide a solid accompaniment for the vocals.They require a competent but not brilliant pianist.

The vocals are relatively straight-forward.Almost every song begins with a solo, then adds another voice (usually above the melody), and eventually adds the third voice (usually below the melody).As one would expect if familiar with PC&D, these parts are really written for three true tenors, especially the top two parts.We had a baritone singing the bottom part, and he could do it, but he was pushing a bit.

During our recent debut with this book, we sang one song as an offertory and used one other song to lead congregational singing, and I anticipate that we'll put it to good use in the future.We received much positive feedback afterwards.

One other comment, if rather inconsequential, is that the binding of the book is really poor, and after using the book for a few days, it was beginning to fall apart.

In any case, if you have three male voices and like Phillips, Craig, and Dean's arrangements and songs, then this is a great resource to use.

The Easy Fake Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a "Fake Book", which means a single staff of somewhat simplified music."Easy" in "C" means that Hal Leonard has transposed it to C, which is most common instruments (piano, flute, harmonica...)It does NOT include tabs or frets, you do need to read music, but you don't need to parse key signatures.

Fake books are used for several things.Professionals use them to help them quickly "fake" knowing a song.A decent musician can sight-read them and sound convincing. Beginners (or less serious musicians) use them because you can enjoy playing a song you recognize without having to deal with key signatures and changing ones, odd timings and very complex bits.The cost is that some interesting parts may be simplified out and, if you play piano, you're only going to have your right hand busy; you'll have to fake with the left.

This book has a wide variety of great recognizable songs, though few current ones. Mostly old standards, few by way of rock.It's great to play to and to learn from, but if you're learning you'll eventually want a more comprehensive book, once you can take on the trickier bits.That doesn't mean you don't need this, just that eventually it will help you outgrow it.Professionals should jump right to the Ultimate Fake Books, also on Amazon.
