While this is a piano solo collection without vocal lines, Phillip Keveren's classical style arrangements of these movie themes are excellent for studying harmonic and melodic texture. The piano parts are complete and well-voiced, providing a full musical canvas. It’s a valuable resource for collaborative pianists to understand how familiar melodies can be richly supported and arranged for the instrument.

This Phillip Keveren collection is fantastic for my SMP Level 6 students. The arrangements of beloved movie themes are thoughtfully crafted, presenting engaging challenges with 4-note chords and varied rhythms. The classical style ensures a rich sound, and the clear engraving helps students with reading. It's a wonderful resource for developing technique and musicality.

This is a great book in the Phillip Keveren Series! All of the songs fall in the late intermediate to advanced range and require a solid octave with reach. The pieces are true to their original melodic and harmonic roots and are arranged beautifully into very playable piano solos. I've yet to be disappointed by a Keveren arrangement!

This is probably biased, since I am a professional musician, college trained and an advanced player.I find these arrangements lacking real meat. I'm constantly improvising to give these arrangements some energy and flash. While I know these arrangements will appeal to some, again I said this was biased, if you are a performing musician looking for repertoire for your concert, look elsewhere. You will be disappointed in the level of difficulty. I can sightread most of these the first time through.I would LOVE to see a version of these songs for a more classically trained pianist, or at least in more of a showman style. Give them some arpeggios, and flourishes that will really shine during a concert.Again, I like the product, but not enough to give it more than 3 stars.

9 out of 10 piano 'sheet musics' are actually not great for the non-pianist who does not want to sing over the chords, or for the pianist who is not yet at improvising chord/flourishing the notes level.Phillip's key books - the Beatles, Classic Wedding Songs, and this one - stand out for pianists as immensely good arrangements on their own for those without chord/melody jazz improvisation skills - like Dan Coates' arrangement of many years ago, they are stellar and make the most of the wonderful instrument that is the contemporary piano. Please buy it...
