Customer Reviews

A great tool for learning

This book is great if you want to learn the words to some really beautiful songs or learn to play them on piano. I bought it to learn the words to the Italian and Spanish songs. It's very useful in that way. You can read along and listen and learn how to pronounce the words and after a few listens you'll be singing along with Josh. His self titled cd is a must have. His voice is heavenly and he is not an opera singer, he's a classically trained vocalist that could sing anything he wants.

Are you a Grobanite? Not if you don't have this!

This is a must have for all Josh Groban musician fans. The piano part is arranged beautifully, and actually has a melody line, unlike some piano arrangements that are meant for accompaniment purposes only. This allows you to enjoy the music even if you're not singing along. The piano accompaniment covers the orchestral part wonderfully, and it is not very challenging music to learn. Inside, there are also awesome glossy of Josh Groban. It is a quality made book of music that is perfect for the Grobanite who is looking to enjoy Josh Groban's music in a different way. I highly recommend this to all pianists and vocalists; you will not be able to put this music book down!

For pianists, the arrangements are fantastic!

As a pianist with about 8 years of lady-next-door training and 3 years with college professors, I find these arrangements to be challenging, yet very playable, and very unique. They follow the melody enough to be enjoyable for anyone hooked on Josh's CD, yet have beautifully arranged accompaniments as well. I don't like it when I buy the piano version only to find it doesn't resemble anything I heard on the CD, or that the melody line is omitted, to be filled in by the singer - it makes them less enjoyable to play. These arrangements are not like that, but provide everything they should - great music to enjoy playing!

Just Josh...

I don't play a musical instrument, I don't know how to read notes, but I do know that this book is a must have if only for the pictures and its importance to music history. Josh is destined to be the music super-star of this century..There's no one like him.......

Magnificent Josh

This songbook contains some beautiful photos of Josh and all the songs from his debut album. It would make a wonderful addition to your collection of everything Josh as well as for any aspiring musicians to use.
