Complete Advanced Piano Solos
Music for All Occasions Sheet Music Book
By Dan Coates

Just right for my ability, some challenge, but that's good. Lovely music!

Absolutely love this compilation of music. So fun to learn and play...So many great songs. Some are easier some are advanced and alittle bit of a challenge.

It's a thick book and will not stay open. Decide where you want the book split apart and take it to a Staples or UPS Store and have them install a spiral binding. It will cost about $5 and if they're not busy, you sip a coffee while...

waiting for it. The arrangements are beautiful and almost all have a key change into very difficult music. You can skip the more difficult page or pages and still have a complete song with a manageable intermediate arrangement. My professional pianist mentor said nothing wrong with using "White Out" to eliminate notes that your hand won't fit or your brain can't handle. I go through a lot of "White Out". I often use a blue pencil to color sharps and red to color flats. I'm 80 and need all the help I can get.

This is the best music book I have ever had by the best arranger I have come across. Dan has an amazing way of mixing up arpeggios, with block chords, very interesting runs and fills and deviates just that little bit from the main melody to make pieces sound fresh...

and interesting and not so predictable. I love the way he makes full use of the keyboard, often changes octaves and keeps pieces flowing from start to finish. Challenging but achievable for anyone with a bit of dedication.

I have enjoyed this book. The arrangements are well done. They are all playable but take a little practice to master. I've played since I was a child and play mostly classical but wanted to add some more popular pieces to my repertoire.
