Favorite Melodies the World over: Level 1 (Wp 37 Level 1)

Great music for a beginner
This book has many classic pieces of music that have been broken down for easier playing for a beginner. This book is not for the complete beginner (i.e someone who has never touched a piano before) and it isn't an instructional book so the person has to have some rudimentary knowledge of the piano; reading notes and playing with both hands. That said, this book is very basic and it wouldn't be difficult for someone who has just come to the level of playing with both hands to pick it up. However, I think this book could still be entertaining even for someone with a little more knowledge of the piano. The book is divided up into five different sections: Sing Along Favorites, Christmas Carols, Hymns, Patriotic Songs, and Classics. It does not seem to have a clear progression in difficulty. Many of the earlier songs are more difficult than the later songs, until you get to the classics which up the level of difficulty quite a bit in comparison to the earlier songs. All in all, I have really enjoyed this book. Being fairly new to piano myself, I found it refreshing to actually play real songs instead of just the exercises out of other instructional books.

The classics.
Easy to intermediate selections. Love this old standby music.

Great selection for a beginner
Melody is usually in the right hand, and simple chords in the left. Purchased for an adult student with special needs who struggles when both hands are moving at the same time, so it's perfect. Would be great for any beginner.

Perfect accompaniment
Using the Bastien book to learn piano. This book matches perfectly with tunes that are in coordination with what I know. So it's fun to learn songs that are within my capabilities.

Music to supplement lessons
I really like this book. I am using the Faber's books for piano lessons and this book gives me a good deal of extra music that I can do and stretch my limits. The Faber books don't start music signatures until the end of the first book and uses all accidental flats and sharps until then. This book has the music signatures and there is a really good variety of music.

Great Variety.
For some reason I started with Level 2. Level 1 has an equally appealing selection of music. Both books are great for an older beginner. Lots to challenge me here.

A great mix of classics.
A really fun mix of all kinds of classics. Great for both kids and adults that are learning to play. I sought this one out because it was a book that I remembered from my childhood. It's a keeper!

Metodo evergreen per "old men and women" che hanno voglia di imparare
Il "Sistema Bastien" lo trovo eccellente. Ho iniziato a studiare pianoforte alle soglie della mezza età e sono molto contento dei risultati; personalmente lo utilizzo come sistema di studio supportato da una insegnante; la quale peraltro mi dice che il Bastien è ancora ben utilizzato con i bambini. La cosa che trovo utile aggiungere per chi leggerà la recensione e ha caratteristiche affini alle mie (un principiante avanti con gli anni) e che è veramente un metodo progressivo: si inizia a suonare da subito brani semplificati che aumentano pezzettino dopo pezzettino difficoltà inserendo passo passo le nuove nozioni apprese.Unico accorgimento: fate attenzione a costruire bene il percorso di apprendimento con il sistema Bastien. Questo "Favorite Melodies the World over: Level 1", curato se non erro dalla moglie di James Bastien, Jane Smisor Bastien, è uno dei volumi di "corredo" al sistema: contiene una serie di brani di difficoltà progressiva che però vanno eseguiti complementarmente al manuale principale, il "Corso di Pianoforte per adulti" di James Bastien. Il livello 1 di questo volume fa riferimento al livello 1 proprio del corso.Ho aggiunto le foto a questa recensione per fare chiarezza (io ci ho messo un po' a capirlo). Consiglio il seguente schema di acquisto dei volumi (peraltro come, come si dice, veramente "alla portata di tutte le tasche"), per chi vuole iniziare:1. James Bastien, Corso di pianoforte per adulti livello 12. James Bastien, Teoria e tecnica pianistica per adulti livello 1Questi due volumi consiglio di acquistarli e usarli insieme: il secondo in elenco contiene esercizi e brani ulteriori per rafforzare l'apprendimento delle unità del corsoQuando poi si arriva a circa la metà del livello 1 ecco che a quel punto (è Bastien a suggerire questo schema), ecco che si può introdutte questo3. Favorite Melodies the World over: level 1 (anche se in inglese non conta perché sono solo spartiti)E insieme a questo anche tutti gli altri volumi-spartiti di brani facilitati e progressivi (su Amazon si trovano tutti).Spero di essere stato utile.

Din't bother
Very sorry I purchased this. had there been a list of songs and a sample page I would not have bought it because it is too easy for me and I don't know half the songs . they are mostly American and there are Christmas carols which I didn't want, so it was a waste of money.
