Customer Reviews

Great Fun at the Piano

A truly fun book of great piano pieces that aren't too hard, nor too easy. One of the best books of piano music I have purchased in years. Great for all ages.

Great Variety

Good variety. Easy to follow arrangements. Enough movement to insure that the songs are recognizable.

So good...bought it twice!

Yep bought it twice. I convert the music for playing my clavinova and mark the selections of background and such. Well the book has such a good collection I got another one to mark even more selections. Two "styles" per page is enough and this would allow more. Sometimes this works when you like the music but want to play it differently. Again, good selection of songs.

2 thumbs up for Dan Coates!

The #1 reason I love this book is that it appeals to the mid-range piano level. I am at a lesson level 4-5 playing ability and have found Dan Coates to be my favorite arranger. I would love to be able to play the advanced concertos like my husband can, but I'm not there yet. However, I am bored to tears with most of the sheet music labeled "Easy Piano" out there. There's only so much fun you can have with the left hand always playing the C or G chord. I love Dan Coates arrangements because he takes you beyond that. These songs interested me and motivated me to WANT to be at the piano. Dan Coates books alone helped me add an extra octave to my repertoire in just a week. The #2 reason I love this book is well, I love the 90's! The songs Dan Coates chooses to do arrangements of are favorites of mine. There's a little something for everyone in this book. You can't lose with this one.

Found!

I was overjoyed to find Dan Coates' 100 Pop Hits of the 90's. My daughter recently left for university and we had quite a round of negotiation to see who, exactly, got to keep the book! I finally decided it was just as easy to buy a second copy so that both my daughter and I could enjoy the music!The book was included in the purchase of our electronic keyboard a number of years ago and became a solid family favourite because of its excellent song selection, and interesting arrangements that were easily mastered. I also very much appreciate that the scores are relatively easy to read. The one and only complaint I have is that on an electronic keyboard, I have to use a clothespin to keep the book open (it flops around a bit because the book is quite thick and our keyboard sheet music holder is too short). This is not a problem on our "regular" upright piano though.I highly recommend Dan Coates 100 Pop Hits of the 90's for anyone who is looking for something which gives some interesting easy listening arrangements for both piano and electronic keyboard. Excellent value for the money.
