Customer Reviews

Don’t buy books with multiple editions!

Got a different edition of the book than what was listed on the site. It apparently has the same ISBN but a different edition so instead of 16 songs, it only has 12. And the whole reason I bought it was for one particular song my son wanted to learn on the piano that was listed in the description as being in the book and on the cover but not actually the one I received. Reached out to customer service and was told it’s based on ISBN so sometimes it’s a different edition. So I guess be careful what you buy in case there’s more editions of it, you might not get what you think you’re getting

Buy it if you like Coldplay!

Bought this for my son who is a big Coldplay fan and he is really enjoying it. He's an intermediate/advanced piano player and found the songs easy to play and very true to the actual arrangements of the songs.

As advertised

The music was easy piano by my standards, a quick learn and authentic enough to the true sound of Coldplay as well.

Simple arrangements & Great selection of songs

12 Coldplay songs from the albums "Parachutes" and "A Rush of Blood to the Head". I've only had a couple of years of piano lessons (and that was years ago) and I bought this book to help me get back into playing. The arrangements are easy (but no, not beginner), and don't take much practise before you're sounding pretty good! Includes the guitar chords. The songs are: (1) Amsterdam (2) Clocks (3) Don't Panic (4) Everything's Not Lost (5) Green Eyes (6) In My Place (7) Rush of Blood (8) The Scientist (9) Sparks (10) Trouble (11) A Warning Sign (12) Yellow The book itself is a slim softcover book with a shiny cover. It is bound by three staples, and the pages fall flat once pressed down - so its fine on a music/piano stand. Note - This describes the the 2003 edition which I was sent initially (in error). So check that you were sent the right edition! The 2004 edition is bound, so doesn't lie flat as well as the 1st Ed but it includes a 13th song: "Fix You" from "X & Y"

A good find....but

It's a great book for intermediate players. I wouldn't exactly call it "easy piano." While the notes are easy to read and not complicated, the key signatures are what make the songs difficult. Brush up on those before trying out this book!!

Not So Easy

This isn't for a beginner or an advanced beginner. By "easy" is meant that it is comparable to The Library of Easy Piano Classics ISBN 0-82556-1284-5. If you're not quite ready for this level I'd still order it and the more advanced Coldplay, A Rush of Blood to the Head, because these punk rock music books are here today and gone tomorrow. This is probably not going to be available by the time you're ready.
