For the first time ever; musical selections from the first five Harry Potter movies are available in one jam-packed collection. These all-time favorite themes have been arranged in traditional five-finger style; with the melody split between the hands; and without key signatures in the student part. Starting hand positions are illustrated above each piece. Fingerings that are outside the noted five-finger positions and those indicating a shift in hand position are circled for easy identification. Dotted quarter notes; triplets and sixteenth notes have been avoided. All of the pieces have optional duet accompaniments created to achieve a fuller; richer musical experience. Elementary-level pianists will love playing these arrangements; which faithfully render the magical music of John Williams; Patrick Doyle; and Nicholas Hooper. Full color art pages from each movie are included. Titles: Double Trouble * Dumbledores Army * Fireworks * Hagrid the Professor * Harry in Winter * Harrys Wondrous World * Hedwigs Theme * Hogwarts Forever! * Hogwarts Hymn * Hogwarts March * Nevilles Waltz * Nimbus 2000 * Potter Waltz * The Quidditch World Cup (The Irish) * Voldemort.

Under the Hood of the Classics -- Very EnlighteningBy James BathAfter you learn your scales and the basics of reading notes on a staff. or even while you are doing so. bolt ahead with this book. All the intimidation of classical music notation and composition will melt away. Have a decent music dictionary with you and refuse to fear Bach or any other complicated music score. Dive in! Joel Lester is brilliant in his approach to learning and teaching music. and in his ability to communicate what he has joyfully learned over many years of study.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerThe book was in great condition!10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Most of the book is about Sonata #1. Remaining 5 works crammed into one chapter at the end.By JK OregonEh. a disappointing book. For reasons not well explained. the author spends almost the entire book on the g-minor sonata. Heres the table of contents:1. History of Bachs solo works2. The G-Minor adagio3. The G-Minor fuga4. The Siciliana of the G-Minor sonata5. The G-Minor presto6. The partitas7. Closing thoughtsSo. five chapters on one sonata. and all the other works crammed into a single chapter.The analysis of the one sonata is quite good. but does not carry over into the other works. The G-Minor presto gets 29 pages. the immortal chaconne of Partita #2 barely gets four pages. Its extremely frustrating.This is really a work about sonata #1. Coverage of the other pieces feels like an afterthought.
