Phantom of the Opera

I just bought this, very nice book and perfect for beginners. There are two books available and it is easy to get them confused because the covers and the names are almost identical. This is the easy book. The more advanced book is The Phantom of the Opera - piano vocal selections (ISBN: 0634099094).

This sheet music is great, doesn't matter if you're a beginner either! Easy to read and play. There are small mistakes: not all of the Phantom theme song is written down. Also in Point of No Return they say to play an A instead of an Am. Otherwise, great. Angel of Music is probably the best song for beginners. Masquerade is an incredibly big pain in the neck, rhythm-wise.Get the book if you are a newbie or a pro. Doesn't matter!

I've been playing piano for 13 years. When I was younger I had the easy piano version of these songs. And they are fine when you're just learning. I didn't play any songs from the Phantom until recently when I heard it was coming back to town. I pulled my old book out and played it. It just wasn't full sounding and the keys the songs were in weren't close to the CD. I bought this book and it was a bit difficult to adjust to all the different keys at first, but you definetly get used to it; especially if you practice at them. This book has more acurate presentations of the songs. They sound much fuller and beautiful.

I got this book for Christmas and it is a great book. I love it. I play out of it as much as I can. It is very good for sight reading and they are good songs to learn to sing. This book is great! Buy it!

This is a great piano book for those who love the music of The Phantom of the Opera. The songs are not terribly difficult, but they sound great. The keys some of the songs are written in could make it hard for less experienced players.
