Sound of Music
I love this book. Needed to brush up on some of these songs and the book was perfect for a non beginner, but definitely not advanced....

High Hopes
From reading all the reviews, this sounds like a pretty decent collection from the movie/musical. This website is sorting becoming a preferral for me, because I got my other piano books from here and was very pleased with the quality as well as simplicity. You might not have thought this wasn't a very helpful review, but it wasn't a review; it was a head's up!

Simply clever
The modest cords are excellent for creating the right mood for the song.

Enjoying
This collection of songs from the sound of music brings enjoyment to listeners all around, and the sheet music is amazing to play, not too hard, but not easy either, I loved this music!!

Great collection!...for some
I have been playing piano for over a year (with some lessons as a child) and would say I am at about an intermediate level. The Sound of Music is one of my favorite movies, so once I started playing seriously I knew this was my first choice. Unfortunately, the arrangements were just too difficult for me at this time. My piano teacher even tried to help me simplify the songs so I could play them, but they're just not the same. For those who are more experienced in piano I would say this is a great collection. Hopefully I will be able to work up to playing this great music.

some music missing
We purchased this for "I have Confidence" for an audition and the opening of the song as it appears in the movie isn't published in this book. So we were disappointed.

It is entertaining !
I like the presentation of the book in that it gives both versions - the play and the movie. I wish though the pictures were in colour. The music is grand and can be attempted by the beginner as well as the more advanced performer. I have been playing the piano as a child and teenager and have done exams upto Grade 7 but dropped off in my early 20's to commence playing once again at 50 years. I am very pleased with the purchase. I play the more advanced music while my nephew, a beginnger plays the more simple pieces.

Wonderful
I received the music book rapidly, it is in excellent new condition, the price was quite reasonable and I enjoy it. I perform on the piano at the nursing homes here in town and someone asked for the title song, "The Sound of Music." I could take it with me and play it and also all the others in the book the next time I visited there, They loved it!!

Very good but....
I found some of the arrangements difficult to play - Do-Re-Me for example. This was a bit disappointing. However, it's generally pretty good and I would recommend.

My daughter requested this piece of music for her birthday. She has been taking lessons for 8 months and is already doing 4th year music. She loves this particular music and it is wonderful.

Fun at all levels
Great selection, well presented. Singers of all ages love this music. There's something at every level of singability, as well as a variety of age levels. A table of contents would be a help, but other than that the book is great. Accompaniments are classic and not too difficult.

Sound of Music for beginners?
While the music is beautiful, it's a little advanced for our Daughter. She is an 8 year old beginner and while she can play some sections others are "out of her league" for now.

A favorite whether you play or not
The music is more advanced than my abilities at this time but I am eager to try a piece in the near future. I'm a Sound of Music junkie so owning the book with music/photos from movie/play is a joy in itself. Reviews on website very helpful.
