The Library of Easy Piano Classics | Easy Piano Sheet Music for Beginners and Adults | Classical Piano Songbook with Famous Works | Educational Repertoire Book for Piano Students

I've been trying to play from this book for 6 yeas and I'm glad. If it was any easier, the main parts of the compositions would lose their identity. The one step easier than this would be "big note," but that is only if you reading ability is at zero, day one. Even if that's where one's reading ability is, this is still very important to have. Just reading and maybe learning parts from this is highly satisfying. I've seen this on other pianos in other's homes, this is definitely a classic and if this seems difficult, go look at the edition that doesn't say, "easy," that one is scary. Even if you need big note or book grade one level those compositions are not very good and a waste of time to learn, but these are not, these are the real deal. Easy to play high quality classical piano? no, never, but this is in the easy arrangement and printing format. I got the comb binding, so it remains flat on the stand.

I love this book, there are so many songs, I can’t wait to start practicing! I bought a used book and it’s in great condition! Definitely would recommend it.

A lifetime of music in one book.

Don’t be misled by the title calling these easy piano pieces. It’s a wonderful book, but for me as intermediate level piano player way out of my league. I should have returned it immediately. Now it just sits on the shelf.

About one year ago I purchased both volumes 1 and 2 of Library of Easy Piano Classics - they have been inspirational to me as a returning student of the piano. I studied for 10 years as a young adult, then dropped it for 40 years and decided to return a year ago at age 70. My fingers felt like lead, I could barely read music, and I almost gave up. With the help of my piano teacher, I am re-learning the piano and studying the usual exercises (Hanon, Czerny), but the best part is learning to read music again and practicing these beautiful classical pieces in an "easy", shorter format. These books inspire me to take on the original compositions. I am gaining speed and dexterity practicing the abbreviated easy versions of classical music - and believe me, they are not the usual kindergarten variety of "easy" - they do challenge me but they don't tire me out as I regain my skills. One year after resuming my lessons, I am playing original Chopin and Beethoven pieces, but I also study many pieces from these easy volumes as an adjunct to the more difficult original pieces - just for pure pleasure, enjoyable, and fun. I recommend both these books to beginners and those who are re-learning the piano - you and others will love to hear you play ; these books will motivate you to not give up as you build your skills and eventually take on original works. This set of books is for my piano teacher, at his request, who will use them for students of all ages.

Wow, I have been looking for sheet music for my piano learning experience. This looks like it meets that need. Glad I bought the 'Easy' song book :-) Nothing but sheet music

I am a beginner but I use this book to help me stretch to get better. I would say someone who has 6 months of piano lessons should be able to at least attempt these arrangements. An advanced player I know uses this book to practice sight reading.

The book itself is great--3 stars because it was sent USPS instead of UPS as requested. The book was rolled into a ball in order to fit in a mailbox, destroying the binding in doing so. Not very happy--usual issue with Amazon

Impresión clara, bien definida. Y al estar encuadernado en canutillo, las hojas pasan muy bien sin que se desencuaderne.

I haven't played the piano for over a decade and this book has been very helpful in improving my sight reading. I like the binding and the print is very clear. Songs sound nice.

It has beautiful classic pieces but is not recommended uhless you are in Grade 4 piano or above.

I've started playing some of these, & most tunes would be easily recognised. Faves include Moonlight Sonata & the Dolly Suite which I have now mastered, hooray! Haven't played in years but this book has proved a good continuation point for me, neither too easy nor too difficult. Intermediate level, so just right!

If you have taken piano lesson for some times and want now to learned by yourself it is the perfect book to practice. I am trying to teach myself to play piano, and this book is great. It s really a great pleasure to play something that you know and without too much difficulties.The piece are cleverly simplified allowing the beginner and the intermediate to enjoy the book. Aside it is also a great deal for the price: 296 pages for only 2082 yen. I strongly recommend that boook and hope you will have as much pleasure as I.
