If anything; it has really helped her out. She has only been in band for one year; but there was quite a variety of skill levels here. She started out with what she thought she could handle; but there were so many songs that she knew and wanted to learn; that she started working hard to get to the next level so she could play them.The variety of songs here is great. I was thinking that with 72 songs; there would be a couple of popular ones; and then a lot that I had never heard of. That was not the case though. The book was full of songs that we recognized. It has been nice hearing her practice; and knowing the song well enough to find ourselves singing along.31 of 32 people found the following review helpful. Not bad; if you want samples.By MeganEThis book seemed like a good deal with 72 songs; but most of the songs are sample length and less than a page long. I have some of the same songs already from other Disney music books which are 2 pages long instead. Unless you just want snippets of these songs I recommend finding the songs you are looking for in other books with less songs total to ensure you get a full length piece.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. ... year old nephew found the songs to be too easy. Better suited for flute beginnersBy Maria C. S.My 13 year old nephew found the songs to be too easy. Better suited for flute beginners; but nonetheless fun melodies for experienced players.
