A Gift Request
I'm sorry I can't say much about the actual music as it was for my daughter for Christmas. I don't know how difficult the notes were. I do know that it arrived way ahead of the estimated delivery date and I was really impressed with the fast service and quality of the book. Thank You! I will be sure to use your company again!

for my daughter.. a real Rent-head. She loves to sing and I thought she would love to learn how to play the guitar and sing her favorite songs.

I am a RENTHEAD and LOVED the music.
I purchased a RENT booklet because I love the movie, I'm a renthead, and plan to audition for RENT when I turn 18. The song book was exactly like the movie just the piano part. But if you knew the other instruments then you have it made. I loved it and and it was great. It was like performing the movie at my choirs Broadway. A little show we put on every year of broadway musicals. It was perfect. I rate the best sight ever.

surprise birthday gift
We surprised our daughter with this for her birthday. She has mentioned it to me just in passing one day & I knew she loved RENT. So I was thrilled to find it on your website & received it in plenty of time for her birthday. she has been playing the songs everyday.

Great Book!
I love Rent! It is one of my favorite movies of all time! The piano music is fantastic! It sounds so much like the actual music! The only problem I had with it was that FINALE B was not included. That is my favorite song in Rent.

Still missing
The music is awesome, but there are some huge gaps where other songs should be. *I'll cover you:Reprise*, and Finales A and B are also missing.It's sad, because Finale B is one of my favourite songs in the whole movie.

I LOVE RENT!!!!!!
Rent is one of my favorite musicals of all time, and this piano book is a really good piaon book. The life story of Jonathan Larson has changed my life and tought me to live in the moment, and his life story is one of love and acception for everyone. I think everyone needs to hear this man's life story, but overall I love, love, love love, loved the book and movie.

Viva La Vie Boheme!
I am a Renthead, and extremely proud of it. Anyone who likes the play or movie, get this!Being only 13 and having no means of money, I had to babysit forever just to get twenty bucks to buy my now most sacred posession. Since I play piano, violin, guitar, and sing, this book has helped me a WHOLE lot. I was dissappointed, however, to discover that my favourite song, Goodbye Love, wasn't included.

Jonathan Larson: RENT
This is a very good sheet music book! Everything is easy to read and it has most of the RENT songs on it. The only thing it is lacking are some songs. (for example: I'll Cover You Reprise) They also give you two bonus songs in the book.

Amazing!
It's got wonderful piano, and the vocals are nice, but I wish they had "You Okay, Honey?" and "I'll Cover You (Reprise)". But it's still nice to play piano for it!

One Book: Glory
This book is a great compilation of almost all the songs on the soundtrack. The difficulty is a little uneven (La Vie Boheme and Take Me or Leave Me are very challenging while One Song Glory and Rent, for example are pretty easy), but overall the songs are very good. A few songs had the key changed to make them easier to play (Another Day, One Song Glory and Without You), which I didn't like much, but most songs are in their original keys and sound excellent. Unfortunately, the I'll Cover You Reprise isn't in here, which is sad because it's a great piano part and one of the film's best moments. Most of the songs sound incredible however (especially Tango:Maureen and Santa Fe!); this is definitely the best Rent book and I recommend it to anyone who loves the soundtrack and wants to learn it!

Wow I love rent. This music book alows you to play the songs that you love from the theater in your own home and I'm not a piano player but even I can play this so it's not hard at all.

Wonderful
This is a great songbook for anyone who loves RENT or musical theater in general. The arrangements sound exactly as they do on the soundtrack, and are pleasing to hear. Some of the music is a bit difficult to play, but after a little practice an intermediate to advanced pianist will get the hang of it. Definitely a must! Also recommended: WICKED, 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

fantastic
This is an essential book for any young musician. These songs are great for auditions for schools and performance groups and for small recitals around town. This book is a MUST have.

Practically perfect
This book is almost perfect. I just wish that they had included today 4 u. I pretty much think that without that song, the begining of la vie boheme wouldn't work. So this book is practically perfect and I strongly recomend it for all RENT fans.
