5 out of 5 stars
Very nice
This book is great. Wonderful compilation that makes me nostalgic about Disney movies! These are simple enough that I can play almost all without practicing or trying too hard but have enough complexity that they aren't boring either. I would say this is for the intermediate pianist. Some are a little more advanced and some are a little more simple. Overall love this. It's a small enough book that it sits OK on the piano stand with a little flattening beforehand.

    this book has a nice cross section of the OLDER Disney songs...as another reviewer says, nothing newer than the Little Mermaid. But i play at nursing homes, and those people want things from the 50's and before. So they know Snow White, and Bambi and Dumbo and even Lady & the Tramp, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. Lavender Blue, Dilly (made popular by Burl Ives) is a good one for them.

    This is easy piano, some of them are a little harder than others, but overall i would say they are easier than most "easy piano" books, which are made for intermediate players.

    There are little flairs at the ends of some of the songs that make them silly, which i just leave out. I don't like how "One Song," which is such a beautiful song, but is turned into a march by the bass line being a constant series of half notes, played steadily in a downward line...it is supposed to be an uplifting song, and i have had to read the guitar chords and play arpeggios instead, make it sound uplifting, the way i want it to sound. This is good for me, lots of people use the guitar chords to supplement their playing, but it is something i am just learning to do. So it is nice that they are there. I really wish some of the verses were included in some of the songs, like "Let's Go Fly A Kite," instead of just the chorus. "Cruella DeVille" is perfect, according to my (teenage) children, who had to come off their electronics from out of their closed bedrooms to tell me :)

    Overall, great fun and i am so happy to have read other user's reviews and found this book,, i find the review system so helpful! Previously, i was playing from a 70's collection of Disney songs, and it was taking me alot of practice time. It is so much easier with this book, and the nursing home people seem to like it, too!

    One of the interesting things about this book is that it has a cross-referenced listing to the Disney "Records" (do they still have those?" It has each volume of "record" and what is on it, and then the page number in the book so you can find it...to play along? I don't know, i would be surprised, since all these are in "easy" keys as well, but maybe.

    I was initially very pleased with how safely this spiral bound piano book was packaged and easily opened. This will be a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. I’m sure she will find many familiar Disney songs to encourage her learn beginner piano.

    I have several Easy Piano song books -50 Easy Ballads, 50 Easy Rock, and Giant Book of Easy Christmas by Dan Coates. I wanted something that would be easy to play from the get go and this book fits that need. Just a glance at the pages shows you bigger notes, less notes, and simple arrangements. Some of the other reviews mention different editions of the book - I got the dark red cover, the older songs, songs from Frozen and the same binding that could be better but it is how my other books are too. The Theme from Zorro is a bit obscure but a treat for folks who remember the show. There is pretty much something for everyone in here but if you are not sure - look at the sample photos in the listing and the reviews.

    I think its good for diffrent ranges of beginners. Some songs seemed a bit too hard for where I am, while others seemed do-a-ble which is good because it leaves room to improve. Still it would be cool if the difficulty of each song was marked, since the first song in the book seemed a bit too challenging for me, and I sort of dont know what I'm doing. It looks like 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight',' Feed The Birds' and 'Bear Necessitates' and a couple others are around my play range. Had the book for about a week and im slowly working my way through the first page of. 'Can You Feel The Love' I have no idea what level I am. Ive taken a very few college keyboard classes and tried to self teach on and off through the years, But this is the first song I have found that I am able to slowly work in my left hand for the first time without it being too hard and me giving up. The first adjoining bass clef note is marked above the first trebble clef note in every measure which is pretty cool and helpful, and makes it feel less overwhelming and makes it simple and easy to slowly add in the left hand this way which was my goal in trying to take the next step in learning, but I was having a hard time as everything that I sought out seemed too hard, untill this book came along.

    Perfect level while still remaining true to the songs. I'm intermediate on piano and can sight read these. My husband is a beginner and can slowly sight read most of them. As other reviewers have pointed out...you can't stay true to the song and remove the syncopation/rekey to C major. Triplets and some syncopation are as hard as the rhythms get, and most songs have one or two flats or sharps. Nothing crazy though, so I'd say it's a perfect level for a beginner....just not a super novice beginner (like a young child starting out). I noticed some of the rhythms are 'dumbed down,' but it is easy enough to improv the 'feel' of the song to play them the way we're all used to hearing them. Exactly what we were looking for to play for our kids! And hopefully one day the kids will play them for us.

    I am an adult who started learning piano on my own about a year ago. I had Alfred's piano book but honestly I don't recognize most of the songs and I got frustrated and bored so I decided to look for a book with songs that I know.
    I am big Disney fan and was very happy when I found this book. I absolutely love it!! the level is about right for me, some are easy and some are more challenging. There are so many songs that I love from my favorite movies which makes it more fun for me to practice. Definitely recommend it

    Reviewed in France on April 23, 2018
    Superbe livre rempli de partitions Disney de chansons très connues, pour piano, avec les paroles (en anglais).
    Les partitions ne sont pas toutes "faciles", et certaines chansons prennent 10 pages (ce qui est une bonne chose, ce ne sont pas que des extraits, mais des chansons complètes !).
    Dans la description, c'est marqué pour "pianistes débutants à partir de 2 ans de pratique instrumentale", je pense que c'est le niveau qu'il faut pour pouvoir tout bien jouer dans ce livre.
    Certaines partitions me sont accessibles après 3 mois de piano (je suis adulte, je n'ai jamais joué d'instrument et j'apprends en autodidacte), en travaillant bien dessus (mais pas facile) ! Mais d'autres me semblent trop difficiles et je vais devoir m'améliorer au piano avant de les jouer, c'est normal.
    En tout cas, c'est un livre motivant pour les débutants, qui donne envie de se mettre au piano.
    Le livre tient plutôt bien ouvert sur le pupitre (ce qui est rare pour un si gros livre), et est de bonne qualité avec des partitions bien lisibles.

    Je ne regrette pas mon achat, on en a pour son argent vu le grand choix de chansons !
