ShowTime Piano Popular - Level 2A Paperback – January 1, 2002

I am a piano teacher and have taught for many years. I love the piano adventure books. When I am looking for a fun song that my students can play I always use the popular series of the Faber books. They have clear levels so that I get exactly what I want and my students love the songs. You can't go wrong with these books. Level 2a and Level 2b has some of my students absolute favorites.

These books are perfect for those piano students who want to learn something that sounds familiar to them, but still at their playing ability. I’m slowly collecting all the books in the series for the students in my studio, as well as my own children. I’d recommend for any piano teacher who wants to encourage their students with familiar music.

This is absolutely a fabulous book to have! My students especially enjoy: Hedwig's theme, part of your world from the little mermaid, happy birthday to you, over the rainbow, and I just can't wait to be king from the lion King. They also have La Bamba an Olympic fanfare and it's a small world and the perfect nanny from Mary Poppins. What a great collection of songs for kids!

This book will keep the kids interested in playing piano and make practice desirable! The songs in this book include so many favorites; everyone will enjoy listening and singing along. They are a great length for this stage of playing. The hand positions move around in a way to encourage growth, but not to frustrate. You will not be disappointed at all, and you cannot beat the price!! I think I will gift a few of these, as well. :)

My students LOVE these books to no end. I was struggling finding music for them to play. But Faber's ShowTime, Favorites and Disney line is amazing.

Some of the songs sound really good and then some of them you have to play a couple times to try and find the tune of the song. My kid likes them so I guess that’s all that matter

I teach piano, and for the level and price, you get a good bang for your buck with this and others in Faber's series. Some of the songs are old to youngsters, but if they have heard them they like trying!

My 8 year-old son loves the pieces in this book. And every piece has a duet part so they can be played as solo pieces, or as a duet with a piano teacher or someone who is a bit more advanced. It's a good one.
