First 50 Jazz Standards You Should Play on Piano – Easy Piano Songbook for Beginners and Intermediate Players | Jazz Sheet Music for Piano with Lyrics | Hal Leonard Softcover Music Book

I've been playing the piano for about a year. This book complements my regular lesson book. The songs are simplified arrangements of the originals. It's nice to add jazz standards to the traditional classical pieces that one normally plays when first taking piano lessons.

Much too basic for our purposes. This is for a true beginner.

Perfect arrangements for late beginners and intermediate piano players. I’m an older adult coming back to the piano. I love the beautiful arrangements of my favorite old standards!

Nice selection for a new beginning or early beginning pianist including fingerings. Recommended by my piano teacher

Love this book and it came right on time and in good condition.

Wide range of music selections, good arrangements easy to moderate.

I'm a second year piano student, and these pieces are just within reach of me. The chording and arrangements are well done and sound very good.If you look at the song selection, there's really only a few jazz standards, these are predominately show and movie tunes from the 1930's. Still, good to learn.

Very disappointing. As an early intermediate pianist and singer I had a great deal of difficulty working with what were fairly familiar tunes. On one song I figured out why I was having so much difficulty, the author had taken a well known 4/4 standard tune and morph it into 3/4 time? Who does that? I don’t think I can trust another song in this book.

I deliberately waited a while before writing this so I had a chance to try a few songs out and see if I actually keep using the book. Success on both counts - it's my main book for learning recreational piano pieces. For context, I'm not doing exams but am probably somewhere around grade 3. Even though the pieces are simplified, the ones I have tried sound good and "complete", so you can fake a reasonably pleasant sounding jazz noise :)Despite the simplification, there are a few tricky fingerings here and there but nothing a good teacher couldn't help you with. And of course it's jazz so forget about chords with only three notes ... but that's what makes it sound more interesting!

Too basic. Sent it back. Would be good for beginners

Not for me, but might suit others.

Excellent music just want I wanted highly recommened

A very fine book of 50 Jazz standards that people who love music would like to play. The book is extremely good but a little expensive as probably it is imported.
