:)īAD REVIEWS: Before I bought this, I read the critical reviews stating that the left hand wasn't challenging enough. This book has a PERFECT binding, meaning I don't have to pause a million times to forcefully flatten and strong-arm the pages to stay open. Also, binding issues with various books can be frustrating. It IS a challenge playing the original versions because you are dealing with key changes, but A) that is what makes the music sound so fantastic and not monotonous and B) it is a good music challenge for any piano player.īOOK: Full color pages from the movie in the front look awesome sitting open on your piano stand, and are inspiring. SCORE: This is the first 'movie book' I've played that doesn't have easier versions of the music, and I absolutely love it. Get yourself a parter to sing along with you! (Namely a 'Meg' or a 'Phantom') and you'll have great fun performing. Just how Christine reached the heights of her ability while singing with the 'Phantom' in the 'p. I can't wait to keep practicing and improve my singing ability. It's basically every song in the movie plus the interludes of 'The Fairground' etc. It is beautifully designed and well put together. The melodies are listed for all characters' voice parts with the accompaniment at the bottom. Especially if you are starting out with musical theatre or want to learn to sing in the first place. I almost wished Gerard Butler was there to sing with me, lol.īuy this book, you won't be disappointed. Perfect arrangement and complements both singers' (a Christine and 'Phantom') beautifully. I had great fun taking a stab at singing 'Think of Me', then 'Angel of Music' all while playing the accompaniment.

I'd like to add that the lyrics are all here in the book, and it is by-the-book (or in this case, by the 2004 movie adaption of Phantom) for everything, including order of songs listed. I thought that was neat.Īnyway, the pictures are crisp, the arrangements are excellent for any singer or group of people who want to perform Phantom for something like. I bought it used, and the person changed a few lyrics for Think of Me to the original lyrics from the Broadway version.
