Superb Accompaniment & Coaching Tool
This collection is invaluable for a collaborative pianist or vocal coach. The 'piano accompaniment' is well-crafted to support the vocal line without being overly complex, suitable for intermediate vocalists. The texture effectively supports the singer, often shadowing the melody or providing harmonic grounding. Featuring opera arias and popular tunes, and with both English and Italian lyrics, it's essential for effective vocal coaching.

Excellent Resource for Intermediate Students
This 'Big Book' is fantastic for intermediate piano students. The 'intermediate' difficulty makes it challenging yet achievable, perfect for developing technique and musicality. With 80 songs across opera, movie hits, and folk, there's immense repertoire. The clear engraving (standard Hal Leonard) aids sight-reading, and the dual language lyrics are a great bonus for cultural context. Highly recommend for teaching rhythm and reading!

Solid Gig Book for Italian Repertoire
A dependable collection for any gigging musician needing Italian favorites. The 'intermediate' arrangements are quick to learn, and the presence of 'chord names and guitar chord diagrams' is a huge plus for versatility. With 80 songs, it covers most requests, from 'That's Amore' to opera. It's a bit hefty at 280 pages, so plan your page turns, but overall, a very useful and reliable book to have.

Pure Joy Playing These Italian Classics!
I absolutely love this book! As an adult learner, the 'intermediate' level is perfect for me to feel accomplished without getting frustrated. Playing beloved movie hits like 'Speak Softly, Love' and classics like 'O Mio Babbino Caro' is so rewarding. The arrangements sound great, making it easy to feel like I'm playing the record. Great fun for weekend playing and relaxation.

Big Book Italian Favorites
Song list is not accurate. About a dozen songs listed are not in the book (like Antico Canto Siciliano, Autumn in Rome, My Way, Que Sera Sera, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, etc.), but rather there are others, still bringing the total to 80. About one-fourth of the songs are piano accompaniment only, melody line is extracted and appears above, have to work to incorporate it into the piano accompaniment.

Amore
I needed a collection of Italian songs for a night of piano music for a fundraiser. Found this book, took a chance, and ordered it. The music was very playable, meaning most of it was easily learned in a few run-throughs..
