    Excellent for Intermediate Students

    This Stephen Foster collection is ideal for intermediate piano and vocal students. The clear engraving and P/V/G format make it easy to teach and read. It’s perfect for introducing classic Americana, helping students develop rhythmic precision, and improving sight-reading. The biographical text adds valuable context for learning. Highly recommend for any teaching studio!

    So Much Fun to Play!

    I absolutely love this Stephen Foster songbook! As an adult learner, the intermediate difficulty is challenging but totally achievable for weekend playing. It's incredibly rewarding to play these traditional American pop songs like 'Oh! Susanna.' The collection brings so much enjoyment, and the lyrics and guitar chords are great for singing along. Highly recommended for musical relaxation!

    Good Resource

    I was looking for a book of Stephen Foster's works to use for various projects I'm working on. I chose this one because it had all the songs I was interested in. There is a biography included in the book which I found interesting. The book is a good reference, but I wish there had been comments about each of the songs included.

    buyer beware

    If you play the piano for fun and want some Stephen Foster songs, this is not for you. It is very ackward to read. Look at the sample songs (a couple of lines down into the music) there is the melody, music to accompany voice, and then the bass. I got lucky and found an old 1954 hard backbook with his music in it and it is wonderful.
