Piano Pieces for Children (Everybody's Favorite Series, No. 3)

Experienced player here, had played this book almost 40 years ago and now getting it for my daughter. The price here is super competitive, a little surprise as I find it hard to get good price on piano books online. Got to say the pieces span a very wide range and some of the ratings were way off as some really difficult pieces were marked as grade 3. Anyway, for the price and the wide variety of songs available it is a great steal if you have not played this.

Scales and arpeggios help make a piano student develop finger strength and flexibility, but the student needs to be able to play songs that are pretty and impressive at their skill level. This book finally gives the student a great sound and performance without being discouraging. I’ve loved this book for 50 years and was thrilled to find it again. Excellent for teaching or just for enjoyment.

Don't get fooled by the title. This very comprehensive collection of piano pieces is for every piano player, be it student, amateur and even pro. It includes works from classical to Parlor Pieces to folk dances, and even works by by lesser known composers.This collection is a grand classic that has been around for a very long time. I grew up with it, but had to leave the book behind when I moved to the U.S. I'm glad that it's still in print! (now by Hal Leonard; I had the original AMSCO), and available on Amazon for an affordable price! Also, the book "breaks in" easily, that means, it doesn't keep the tendency to "fall close" on the music rack all the time.

Wonderful book for beginners

I bought Piano Pieces for Children on the recommendation of my piano teacher who told me not to be troubled by the name. She's right, saying it is for children makes it sound... well, childish. But these pieces are anything but. None of them are dumbed down for easy playing, they are just well selected and arranged and graded (i-IV) so you can find work at the appropriate level. Most importantly, the music is not boring. I'm personally a fan of classical music and want to play so that I can experience this music in a more intimate manner - playing exercises that are designed to be nothing more than exercises would drive me crazy. I highly recommend this for anyone learning to play and who is hoping to develop a fun, interesting repertoire. Also, find a good teacher to help you. I tried teaching myself for years, but I've made more progress in a few weeks under the guidance of a teacher than I did in years on my own.

There were several pieces I could use to teach a six year old, but most were too difficult. I still think it is an excellent music book for older children.

I ordered this for my husband. He is learning how to play the piano.

These are very good, very accurate arrangements for piano solo conveniently categorized from levels one through four. There are so many different composers to choose from. These are excellent for students of all ages who are learning piano, not just children. As a piano teacher, I love giving these as recital pieces for my students. Excellent transcription for a good price!

This book has many beautiful pieces, it reminds my music life in childhood, also passed to my kids now, one book with everything!
