 Return on Investment May 27, 2008
M. Bridgid Roark (Wisconsin)
Do you ever wonder what the return of your investment in children's piano lessons will be? Will the numerous pleas to practice be worth it?
Maybe you will be as lucky as I and get more back than you ever could have calculated.
I bought The Library of Children's Song Classics for my daughter for her first mother's day (and my first grandmother's day). Since then the two of them--Meghan and Molly B-- have enjoyed many magical and musical moments together at the piano. The music is easy enough for Meghan to play without practicing but complex enough to be satisfying.
When I am lucky enough to be with them, the well known songs make it easy to sing along. Fantastic family time!
 Nice Collection,Bad Organization,Terrible Guitar Chords February 28, 2008
A Thoughtful Consumer (Southern Calif)
The book has about 95% of the songs that kids like to sing. So if you're just singing along with the kids and you only want one book this is probably good. But if the kids want to' get down' with just a certain song like right now, finding it fast is a real problem. The songs are collected by theme rather than alphabetical. You have to flip to the index and then back to the music fast,keeping the interest level going can be challenging. The accompanying guitar chords are provided by someone who did not play guitar. It is obviously piano fingering that has been named as the appropriate guitar chord, so the chord voicing is off. You will want to go thru and correct the chords before you try 'comping' with the kids on their favorite tune.
 Good Songs, Bad Lyrics October 24, 2007

My wife and I found alot of the lyrics to be "off" from what we knew as kids. Also, I thought there would be more verses (many times you get the chords/notes and only one verse).
As a beginner guitar player playing chords only, I found most all of them to be accurate.
Not a bad book, but definitely not great.... February 21, 2007
Danny (San Francisco, CA)
I purchased this book so that I could learn a few tunes for a preschool where I had planned on playing a few of these kids songs on guitar while singing. The teachers/director at the school thought that I should create a CD for the kids to listen to before setting up a date to come out and play for them (so that they would know the tunes). I decided that I would plug the notes/key signatures/time signatures into GARAGE BAND and set up basic piano melodies that I could easily sing to. You know something quick? Well, after creating about 2 or 3 songs I realized that several of the melodies, time signatures, musical notation, and even the notes themselves were incorrect. This is a good book if you want to play a few kids songs THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW, but it is not a reference guide by any means.
great for guitar as well as piano December 19, 2006

I was babysitting for a friend and she had this book open on her piano. Several others have mentioned how nice it is for piano, but it's also great if you're a guitar player, even if you're not an expert guitar player! As others have noted, the arrangements are basic enough that beginners (like myself) can play most of these tunes on the first try. It has just about every children song you can think of - from Eensy weensy spider to some nice patriotic ones. If you spend even a little time with children, this book will help you fill your time with music. Great for parents, daycares, camps, caregivers, etc. I came home to order a copy for myself right away.
