Big Note Piano Standards, 2d ed.(Brief article)(Book review)
Big Note Piano Standards, 2nd Edition. Hal Leonard Co. (7777 W. Bluemound Rd., P.O. Box 13819, Milwaukee, WI 53213). 56 pp. $7.95. Intermediate.
Big Note Piano Standards, 2nd Edition, features 15 familiar standards in a big-note format that is easy to read and not too difficult to play. Adults in particular, and younger students as well, will enjoy playing from this collection that includes such popular titles as "Edelweiss," "Georgia On My Mind," "Moon River," "People," "Strangers In The Night," "My Way" and "Time After Time."
