Essential Songs - The Beatles

By The Beatles

I bought this for a (female) voice student who likes the Beatles. It's a great overview--the arrangements are not hard and include the vocal line. Our complaint is that the songs are pitched so high, I will need to buy other arrangements of the pieces I just bought...

in this book. How many voice teachers have students who want to sing Beatles' songs with the B above the B above Middle C?

This book is in "lounge" type,which means the notes are not note for note but rather mirroring the vocal parts of all the songs. See for yourself in the pictures.

This songbook has a substantial number of great Beatles songs covering much of their time period. Many of them sound very good on the piano. I'm very pleased with this songbook and would recommend it for the intermediate player looking for a good collection of Beatles tunes.

I was looking for a music book with the largest selection of Beatles music I could possibly find, with music accurate to the original versions of the songs, yet still sight-readable. I found this book, and... It's great! I've read through most of the songs, and they...

are wonderfully arranged for the level of difficulty - both the newer Beatle's compositions (such as Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds) and the older ones (like All My Loving). It's a great book to buy if you wish to sing the songs - that's actually one of the reasons I purchased it... It's perfect to bring along to parties for an impromptu Beatles sing-along. However, the music is just as great when played only on piano, too. It's priced very well and has a huge selection of music, and I would definitly recommend it.

The book is great!! I am enjoying playing Beatles music! I am playing for a wedding in August, and all they want me to play is Beatles music.....Shipping was fast, too!! I had the book in about 2 days!
