Piano Reviews: September 2018

Fiona rounds up some piano sheet music for the start of a new school year.

This is an eclectic selection of 12 arrangements of popular film themes, ranging from classics such as ‘As Time Goes By’ from Casablanca to more recent numbers such as ‘City of Stars’ from La La Land. It is in a clear, easy-to-read format, and aimed at the elementary or Grade 1 and 2 pianist. There is something for everyone here, adults and teenagers and your average Disney-loving child, including: ‘Hedwig's Theme’ from Harry Potter; ‘Pure Imagination’ from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory; and ‘How Far I'll Go’ from Moana. Also, several of them are from films which are part of a series, and so have extra mileage in them: ‘New Moon’ from The Twilight Saga, the Star Wars main theme, ‘Davy Jones’ from Pirates of the Caribbean, and ‘The Ring Goes South’ from The Lord of the Rings.
