This music teacher says "yes"!!!!!!

This collection is a mainstay of my collection of teaching materials. There are many classic tunes as well as some lesser known gems. The collection is organized into songs by category. Some of the tunes are different, but it is a great resource for lyrics alone. My children love this book as well!!!

Great for kids and I love it too!

I am a nanny for a young child under two, and we have a great time singing and playing songs on the piano. She bangs along on the keys while I play, and sometimes I stop playing and let her have at it, and she makes up her own songs and music to play. She is developing an ability to play specific and consecutive notes, which is pretty remarkable for a such a young child. Most of the arrangements are very good as noted by the other reviewer. The book is also very well illustrated, she takes as much delight in the drawings as in the music.

A very complete collection

I got this book as a gift, and have enjoyed it thoroughly.It's reminded me of some of the songs I loved as a kid, and providedarrangements that sound good but are easy enough for a novice pianist. It doesn't have EVERY classic song, but I'm surprised when I look a song up and it ISN'T there.
