I love it. Simple arrangements but sound great !
Mum and I have one of these each so we can play duets together. Quality mum and daughter time. And it makes us both practice. Great arrangements. Simple, but they sound great xx

huge fun
A nice selection of pieces - highly varied, some are fun, some beautiful, some quite sophisiticated, in arragements that manage to be satisfying while pretty approachable for pianists grade 2/3 or upwards, andvery enjoyable for anyone above that.

'Fun' for bored music graduates
Not too hard, but not too easy!I wouldn't recommend it for people who haven't done a lot of piano. If you're planning on playing this with your young child it will be difficult. but I played through them with another music graduate no problem. some tricky bits.

Ok but for ....
A good book but would be difficult for some students and contains rather old fashioned pieces. Great for an old fashioned teacher but below the radar for modern students.

A fun selection of easy-intermediate pieces
A fun selection of easy-intermediate pieces. Denes Agay never fails to write great arrangements that are faithful to the original character of each piece. As a piano teacher i enjoy playing these with my students. Recommended.

GREAT DUETS
The Joy of Piano Duets by Denes Agay. I purchased this book so that I could play some piano duets with my oldest son (currently 10). He is in grade 5 of the RCMP program. I completed up to grade 8 in my youth. This book is just the right level - not too hard, not too easy. The arrangements are very well done (primo and secondo are both fun to play). It is giving him a opportunity to play with a partner (not always an easy thing). Plus, and most importantly it is SUPER fun. So far we have learned Waltzes by Strauss and The Boogie for Two. We are both looking forward to learning some more from this wonderful book.There is a nice variety of songs which are as follows:Bourree, BachThe Trout, SchubertThe Metronome, Theme from Symphony No. 8, BeethovenArioso, BachRondino, HaydnCaprice No. 24, PaganiniDuet from "Don Giovanni", MozartMelody in Waltz Time, BorodinGavotte from "Classical Symphony", ProkofieffThe Musical Snuffbox, LiadovThe Harmonious Blacksmith, HandelFrolic, BartokLullaby from "The Firebird", StravinskyTrepak, TchaikovskyMinuet, MozartThe Streets of Laredo, SongThe Comedians' GalopLittle Rhapsody on Hungarian themes, AgayThe "Merry Boys" Polka, SuppeWaltzes, StraussThe Washington Post, SousaFascination, MarchettiCan-Can, OffenbachParade of the Tin Soldiers, JesselThe Banjo Rag, DrumhellerCareless Love, Folk SongArkansas Traveler, Fiddle TuneHush-A-Bye, Folk LullabyAdios Muchachos, SandersBoogie for Two, MartinGive My Regards to Broadway, CohanJamaica Farewell, Calypso SongO Come All Ye Faithful, Old Latin HymnI would highly recommend this book for intermediate piano players - lots of fun.
