The Big Book of Children's Songs (Big Note Songbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Strogly recommended for the beginning guitarist, elementary school teacher, camp counselor who want to include music in a group setting.Forthe aspiring guitarist, the text includesdiagrams of the nine strum orpick patterns that can be used with the songs.Each title in the book hasa suggested pick/strum pattern.Other easy guitar books sometimes includethis feature.I found these patterns to be very helpful as a self-techingmethod. The songs are well known popular children's songs that arefamiliar to everyone and can be used in any recreational/ educationalseting with children.I liked the book in so far as it helpled me practiceguitar skills that I am acquiring (the chords are basic to easy guitar) andprovided me material to use in my work setting.

The Great Big Book Of Children's Songs (Big Note Songbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good selection of songs. Some of the songs are traditional, but many are more recent songs from musicals, TV and movies. I remember a lot of these songs from watching Sesame Street growing up. The accompaniment varies in difficulty. The book is hard to keep open on a music stand.

The Reader's Digest Children's Songbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very disappointed in this book.It includes many popular songs, but excludes many many more.I was looking for a classic collection of children's songs (Home on the Range, O Susannah, On Top of Old Smokey, There's a Hole in my Bucket, Down in the Valley) none of which are included.The binding is adequate, the lyric book is flimsy.

150 Easy Piano Children's Songs (Easy Piano (Hal Leonard)) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this and The Nursery Rhyme Book at the same time.I prefer the NRB because, as a beginner piano player, the arrangements and the keys are a little easier.Hal likes to put everything in the hardest possible key, no G's C's or F's with him.

The Dresden Dolls Companion (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a songbook collector. I have them all. But nothing, I repeat NOTHING compares to the content of this book. But more about that in a little bit.

I have been hearing good things about this duo for some time and have just recently started to listen. What Amanda does with songwriting is like what Shakespeare did for plays. It's real. It's amazing. It's...

Now, for this book. Amanda starts with a 35 page introduction that includes photos, drawings, and other pictures of various worth. The intro also includes topics such as: what's under Amanda's piano, her writing rituals, her playing background, the first songs, high school and college life, her first real show, how she met Brian, recording, creating the artwork, etc. Towards the end of this intro, there is a very detailed section about the sheet music itself. There are notes to the player (and vocalist) that says: "This music is meant to be more of a set of helpful hints than a doctrine. I felt the need to make my own handwritten notes, because typing them in would have been cumbersome and unnatural. The essential thing the player must keep in mind is that the music is changeable. These songs are chord-based, with melodies and discernable hooks and parts, but it is not necessary to play or voice things as they are shown. In fact, you would be playing the music most faithfully if you did not. When I play these songs live, the only thing that generally stays consistent is the bass, and even that can hop from one octave to another. For the more classically-trained, this may seem like an impossible nightmare, but I urge you to experiment. For the sight-reading impaired (like myself) this should be liberating. When I buy books of sheet music, I follow the guitar tabs instead of the piano music, and improvise the rest. This is totally acceptable." It continues...but that should be enough to give you an idea of the detail.

She then goes into each song on the album and gives the history of when it was written and also specific notes for the player. THEN...finally the sheet music for each song. Each song contains handwritten notes from Amanda. These notes include performing ideas, different lyrics, when to improv, etc. From a pure songbook collector, this is what sets this book apart from any other out there. It's one thing to have the artist approve what some publisher has put together, but to actually have the artist be the one to create the book is absolutely incredible.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With the exception of a few pieces with a large amount of flats, I found the music easy to play.I don't consider myself great and really read music to play.The binding makes the book hard to keep open and found myself using binder clips to hold the pages.The music is a large size.A few songs were not familiar to my kids such as Popeye the Sailor Man.Overall, I would recommend this book to a friend.
