Diverse good book, not too hard, not too easy
the book was ok cause I had to get it for piano, it contains songs from different eras too which is neat. I didn’t give it 5 stars because piano is boring.

I am an adult piano student taking lessons from a Simply Music teacher (an Australian method that has students playing songs from the first day). I supplement the Simply Music books with outside sheet music and song books, because I want to play more classical music than the Simply Music method offers.
This book has 22 pieces, divided by period: Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Contemporary. It also has some brief instructional notes about the periods, a dictionary of musical terms and a CD.
At my level of playing -- 10 months of lessons, plus a background in music (flute) and a failed attempt at piano lessons 20 years ago -- the Faber method considers me an early intermediate player. I can sight read most of these pieces, and with a few weeks of practice, play them well enough for my enjoyment. A few pieces will stretch me and require much more work if I want to play them. So, all in all, this is a good book for a player at my level. I also bought the Faber's .
