Level of this book is appropriate for students who are in about a level 2 method book (such as Piano Adventures.) It would be a little too difficult for primary level students. Some of the pieces are a little simpler than others and would work for level one students. It was used in the Federated Music Club as a Primary 2 level piece. My students have enjoyed the songs in this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyable piecesBy CustomerAn excellent compilation for early elementary/elementary level players.
