Our Review

This new collection of popular kids' songs provides engaging material for early intermediate pianists working at Level 3A-3B. The book features carefully graded arrangements of recognizable tunes like "You've Got a Friend in Me," "Yellow Submarine," and "The Addams Family Theme," offering students the rewarding experience of playing music they already know and love. Each piece maintains musical integrity while being thoughtfully adapted to suit developing technical skills, creating a bridge between method book exercises and performance repertoire. This approach keeps practice sessions feeling fresh and motivating for young musicians.

What makes this compilation particularly effective is its selection of upbeat, contemporary songs that resonate with today's youth, moving beyond traditional classical training pieces. The inclusion of movie themes, pop classics, and television tunes gives students material they're excited to share with family and friends, building confidence through performance. Young pianists will appreciate the variety of musical styles, from the cheerful "Walking on Sunshine" to the mysterious Addams Family melody, ensuring there's something to capture every musical taste. This collection successfully turns practice time into play time while reinforcing essential Level 3 concepts.
