The Sound of Music: Viola (ALTO)

I bought this book for my son. The score on this book is so simple and occupies too much paper. Let me see, the song: "So Long Farewell" is not very long, but it took five sheets to finish. These are simple as you can get for piano playing. On the Alfred's books, this song would probbaly fill one sheet only. Too much page turning for me. Music is great though. However, they screwed on that too. There are notes that do not belong and you find yourself re-writing some of the scores. I'd like to trade for one that is better written.

Got this for my daughter - she's had lessons for almost two years (but is only 7 1/2). As written, it's a little too hard for her on the piano, but she can easily play the melody line. She surprised my by using it more for singing. She loved that she had all the words to her favorite songs and has carried it all over the place to sing. She also loves when I play the pieces and she can sing along. Because it's very easy for me, it requires no practice and has been a fun mother/daughter thing to do.

This booklet is wonderful for beginners; unfortunately, for players who are intermediates or experts, it's somewhat boring. Only the simplest notes are given; no flourishes, trills, or optional notes.

This is a very good music book for novice piano players who enjoy the "Sound of Music", have achieved competence in Level 1 playing and are looking for something more challenging. Some of the songs have very simple arrangements; some are more complicated regarding chords, sharps and flats, but all are accessible and advance the student's skills while providing a pleasurable learning experience.

Sadly the full songs are not in there it only has part of the song.

I recently started playing flute again (It'd been 40 years (!) since I played). I loved the movie & it's neat to play the songs with the CD.

Excited to use this during the holidays with my nephews and nieces

I use this for voice lessons with younger students...easy to sing arrangements, and the kids love them.

I was disappiinted to discover that there was no cd included as there has been with the numerous other books of this type that I have bought. 7t would have been preferable to have the option of a cd or download. We dont all want everything online

Really good for my 9 year old. She is just starting her grade 1 pieces and can manage a number of the songs in this book

A great book. Fun to play along to the familiar songs. The digital instrumentals are good quality.

Ideal for my daughter that likes the musical and plays the clarinet. The CD was a nice surprise. We purchased the paper back version which was A4 size.

Good old classics. Not as many tunes as I’d have liked, but what is in the book is fine.
