Amazing Josh Groban piano book

This book is amazing!!! Easy to play. Only thing that I was disappointed about was that the song "Awake" was not in this piano book. It is a beautiful song and ought to be printed in this book as well.

I was surprised, both good and bad.

I was extremely excited when this book arrived. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the printed music contains most of the actual musical arrangement as recorded on the CD of the same name. My NOT-so-pleasant surprise was that nearly half of the songs are written in a different key than the music was recorded, thereby making "playing along" impossible for someone who can't transpose music in their head. (I notified the publisher of my disappointment, and suggested they not do this in the future.)

But the book is absolutely AWESOME!!

Simple, but worth the money

Although the arrangements are relatively easy and simple, they're accurate, and I found that it was easy to improvise, if you wanted to. For intermediates, in a few runs through, you could have it down.
The simplest ones are So She Dances, Solo Por Ti, and You Are Loved. In Her Eyes, February Song, Now Or Never, and Un Giorno Per Noi are a little more complicated, but not very. I'd still buy it because there's really no substitute for it and because I love the songs so much. It really isn't that bad.

reviews: page 1, 2
