This book is not a bad introduction to the melody of these songs, but it falls short as a reference by not including more than token lyrics for each song. Just the first stanza and no following verses are included for each song!
I want to introduce my toddler to playing music on the piano, and this is a) not colorful enough to hold her interest, b) not durable enough to withstand her impulse to grab it, and c) not comprehensive enough to hold *my* interest. As a "My First Book," it fails. It could more aptly be labeled "My Third or Fourth Book of Hymns and Spirituals."
As far as the notes go, the book has fairly complex notation, with sometimes three or four notes being struck at once from both the treble and bass clef. Again, not exactly a "My First Book of..." feature. I would prefer just one note at a time so my daughter can look at the sheet music and the piano and make a connection between the two. |
