John WilliamsStar Wars for Beginning Piano Solo | Easy Piano Sheet Music Book for Kids and Students | Iconic Movie Themes for Beginner Piano Players | Piano Songbook for Star Wars Fans and Learners

This is a great book for beginners. I used to be able to play much better than I do now, but a fire destroyed my old upright (player) piano and all my music, back in 1978. I recently bought another piano and I'm having to relearn.I do have one complaint, though. The back of this book (spiral bound) says it's $14.99. I paid over $27. I think I got ripped off!!!!

I'm going to start with 5 stars & I will update if needs be. I got my book today, & boy was I excited. I played piano as a teen very briefly. I learned how to read music for just the 5 finger stretch around middle C. This was enough for me to dabble, more off than on, throughout the years with beginner books. I want to enjoy the piano, but it is not my primary learning instrument. So my practice is just an enjoyable daily time out with a couple of songs. I wanted to add too my dismally small collection of easy books, otherwise practice is going to be real boring real quick. I also wanted something that would familiarize me with lower and higher notes. I could already workout a limited amount of these notes, but this book, already, has me using them regularly. Working on the first song, is the challenge I needed. It is described as "Love Theme from episode ll." As I attempt to play it, I can feel myself becoming comfortable with more of the piano. I know the later films as I am a child of the original Star Wars, and a mum of children aged for the prequels. Even though my timing is pretty dreadful I can recognize parts of the tune, and I find the melody pretty enchanting. It is pleasing to the ears. Of course, I just want to be able to play Darthvader's theme tune. However, that is later in the book, and that is really going to stretch me. Looks hard. I believe this to be a good book for those with some basic knowledge of piano & the desire to push their abilities. If this book were any easier the songs probably would not be so easy on the ears.

I bought this for my daughter who is still a beginner knowing she'd grow into these but they are fun for me to sit down and play and she is working on just the right hand with her teacher. Great easy arrangements.

Nice and simple for beginners

Now that my kids are old enough to love so things Star Wars, picking up some Star Wars sheet music for them seemed like a natural progression. Songs like the Star Wars theme song, “May the Force Be With You,” and “The Imperial March” are classics that make practice fun.There are a few songs in here that are a little out of their reach, and there aren’t any songs here from the sequel trilogy (Rey’s theme would have been fun). But they do have songs from the prequels, like “Duel of the Fates,” which while challenging, the kids love.Would definitely recommend this book for aspiring musicians of all ages.

I've only had this for a few hours and have only tried two pieces, but it's exactly what I needed. Don't go in thinking you're gonna be blowing away a crowd, but if you're a beginner, this is great. Each piece is two pages long, which means you can push your way through to the end quickly and feel satisfaction without feeling like giving up halfway through if you're having trouble.I have almost no real experience with piano. I was in choir in high school 15 years ago, and I learned enough to pick my way through my part, which is to say one note at a time. This is the first music I've tried to read in at least 12 years, and this is the first time I've touched a piano in as long. Having stuff I'm familiar with that makes my nerdy soul happy helps with motivation, and with how simple everything is, it gives me a sense of satisfaction even if I'm sitting there "all cows eat grass"ing the whole way along.Again, keep in mind this is incredibly simplified. Don't expect impressive composition or anything like that. The who pieces I've played so far have been in the key of C for ease of playing. It's been nice to just pick something up and feel like I know what I'm doing.

My grandson loves Star Wars and now does not mind practicing

My kid practices more when he plays music that he enjoys, but a lot of books are too complicated for his level. This book is just great for him - challenging enough to help him learn, but simple enough to be accessible. He’s performing “May the Force Be With You” at his recital next week, and it’s thanks to this book!

Fantástico

Easy to play compilation of some of the best known Star Wars music.Kid is working towards grade 3 piano, so found this super easy to get on with which was great for his confidence and he’s had great fun teaching us parents. Wish I’d bought this ages ago.

Viele Kinder kennen und lieben die Star Wars Musik und möchten diese Lieder gerne auf dem Klavier spielen. Ich habe bereits Easy Piano Ausgaben gesehen, die alles andere als Easy waren. Hier ist eine Ausgabe, die wirklich leiht zu spielen ist und für fortgeschrittene Anfänger gut zu bewältigen ist. Für Erwachsene könnte es vielleicht etwas zu einfach sein, aber, für Kinder finde ich dieses Buch sehr interessant. Alle Hits drin und natürlich der bei Kinder sehr beliebte Cantina Band Song. der Preis ist 0.k. Das Buch verzichtet auf die üblichen Hochglanzfotos. Nur Noten, sonst nix. Super.

初心者でも簡単に弾くことができてよいです。エピソード１～６までの曲が入っていますが、個人的には旧三部作の方が好きなので、エピソード１～３の曲を入れるより、旧三部作の曲の分量を増やしてほしかったです。

We ordered several pop music piano books online, and could only guess at the level. This one was by far the best - it's the perfect level for my daughter who is about at Grade 1/2 level. It has just two lines - right and left hand - minimal shifts required; fairly simple melodies with mostly chords accompanying on the left hand. They aren't too long, either - most are just two pages, a couple of longer ones run for four pages, but the type is very large and friendly and readable. Kids who have been playing for at least a couple of years should be able to handle these with no trouble. Plus: super fun!
