    Fantastic to Play My Favorite Movie Songs!

    I absolutely love 'The Nightmare Before Christmas,' and this sheet music lets me play all my favorite Danny Elfman songs! The intermediate level is a perfect challenge for a weekend player like me, making it feel achievable. It really sounds like the record, capturing all the creepy, festive fun. So enjoyable and relaxing to sit down and play these tunes!

    Reliable P/V/G for Gigs

    A solid P/V/G book for 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' tunes. The intermediate arrangements are practical for quickly learning and performing at requests. Chord symbols are accurately present, which is crucial for quick charts. With 80 pages, the arrangements are full enough without being overly complex, and page turns are well-considered. Great for any event.

    Engaging for Intermediate Students

    This collection of Tim Burton's 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' is excellent for my intermediate piano students. The intermediate difficulty level provides a rewarding challenge for developing rhythmic precision and sight-reading. Hal Leonard's consistent engraving quality ensures clarity, making these Danny Elfman pieces a joy to teach and learn for their unique musicality.

    Thoughtful Accompaniment for Vocalists

    This collection offers a wonderfully supportive piano texture for vocalists performing Danny Elfman's iconic songs. The accompaniment provides a rich harmonic foundation without overwhelming the vocal line, which is clearly printed with lyrics. It's an excellent resource for guiding singers through the nuances of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas,' suitable for various vocal ranges. Highly recommended for coaches.

    Love these songs, but the

    Love these songs, but the arraignments are mostly beyond my current abilities. Yet the Easy versions are usually too simple. I wish there was something in-between.

    well done

    I thought this music is true to the score but it is rather challenging with many flats, sharps, accidentals and key changed. They need to be there to make the music right but you will have to be better than me to just play through this without some practic

    Fantastic book!

    This is a great book for anyone who is looking to learn to play the songs on the piano and for singers who want to learn the words and melody lines of the songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas. I would highly recommend this book for all lovers of the movie who are interested in learning the music. Keep in mind that these are the versions by Danny Elfman.

    Fun but Odd

    This is a fun book!! The songs are fun but the music changes signature often which makes it a tad confusing. Good book over all though!
