Solid Accompaniment for Vocalists
For vocal coaches or collaborative pianists needing simple, supportive accompaniment for students, this book is quite useful. The focus on basic piano chords means the texture is clean and won't overpower the voice. While it doesn't offer intricate voice-leading, the accurate chord symbols and recognizable pop, rock, and R&B progressions provide a great foundation for singers to practice with.

So Much Fun – Finally Playing My Favorite Songs!
I absolutely love this book! As an adult learner, I wanted to play songs I recognized, and this collection delivers. Learning basic chords through hits like 'Imagine' and 'Sweet Caroline' is so enjoyable. The 'easy to intermediate' difficulty is spot on, making it achievable for a weekend player like me. I feel like I'm really sounding like the records!
