The Disney Fake Book - Piano, Vocal and Guitar Chords

If you debating whether to get this Disney Fake Book or the EASY Disney Fake Book (all songs in the Key of C) here is something to consider. This Disney Fake Book is much more extensive than the EASY version. The songs in this fake book are fuller and often (but NOT always) include the interludes, intros, and outros. Most of the songs (the majority) are in fairly easy keys (ie: B♭, F, C, G, D, and A). But not always!As you would expect, the chords in this book are often very complicated, but one can usually play simplified versions of the chords and still get the song to sound "right."The following songs are in, what I would consider, difficult keys. All other songs (which you can find in the preview) are written in the easy keys of B♭, F, C, G, D, and A.Anything Can Happen (from Mary Poppins) in EBaby Mine (from Dumbo) in E♭Be Our Guest (from Beauty and the Beast) starts off in G but ends up in A♭Beauty and the Beast in E♭Breaking Free (from High School Musical) in E♭Chim Chim Cher-ee (from Mary Poppins) in E♭Circle of Life (from Lion King) starts off in B♭, ends up in A♭The Climb (from Hannah Montana) in EChip in Dales Rescue Ranger Theme Song starts off in B♭, ends up D♭Do You Want to Build a Snowman in E♭Everybody Has Laughing Place in E♭First Time in Forever starts off in F ends up in D♭ then E♭ and finally GHi-Diddle-Dee-Dee in E♭Honor to Us All (Mulan) starts off in C but ends up in D♭I Just Can't Wait to be King starts off in G but ends up in A♭I See the Light (Tangled) starts off in C but ends up in E♭I Thought I Lost You (Bolt) in E♭I Want the Good Times Back in E♭I'll Make a Man Out of You (Mulan) starts in G but ends up in A♭I've Got a Dream (Tangled) in EIf I Didn't Have You (Monsters Inc.) in E♭, ends up in EIf I Never Knew You (Pocahontas) starts off in G ends up in D♭The Incredibles in A♭Le Festin (Ratatouille) in E♭Let It Go (Frozen) in A♭ (REALLY HARD)Me (Beauty and the Beast) in EThe Morning Report (Lion King Musical) in A♭No Matter What in E♭Old Yeller starts in D ends up in E♭Once Upon a Time in NYC (Oliver and Co.) in E♭One Jump Ahead (Aladdin) starts in G, then A♭, then A, then EPerfect Isn't Easy (Oliver and Co.) starts in C ends up in EPollyanna's Song in E♭Poor Unfortunate Souls (Little Mermaid) in E♭Practically Perfect (Mary Poppins) ends up in E♭Prince Ali (Aladdin) in D♭The Second Star to the Right (Peter Pan) in E♭So Dear to My Heart in E♭Sooner or Later (Song of the South) in E♭Strangers Like Me (Tarzan) in E♭Strong (Cinderella) starts off in E ends up in BThese Palace Walls (Aladdin) in E♭Three Cheers for Anything in E♭The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room in E♭Trashing the Camp (Tarzan) starts in F ends up in BTrust Your Heart (Mulan) ends up in BWatch What Happens (Newsies) ends up in D♭When I See Elephants Fly in E♭When Will My Life Begin (Tangled) in EWhere the Dream Takes You (Atlantis) ends up D♭Why Should I Worry (Oliver and Co.) ends up in A♭You've Got a Friend in Me (Toy Story) in E♭Written in the Stars ends up in D♭You'll Be in My Heart (Tarzan) starts in B and E♭

I'm pretty happy with this book overall.There are sooooo many songs in here, and overall you get all the hits and a bunch of 'deep tracks'. It's great that all the lyrics are printed out within the book, too, so everybody can jam and sing along a lot more easily. The chords are overall pretty streamlined and simplified, so it's rare to see something like even A#m7b5. The keys are pretty variable, so I'd suggest that if you are a beginner on a particular instrument, Disney has a bunch of other products that might be more appropriate for you skill level. I play around casually on cello for instance, so it's tough enough to read everything in treble clef, let alone an occasional key of E or B.I'd say the main downside to this product in particular is the odd vertical justification of the page spaces. You can tell that because there are so many songs, the font its just a tad smaller than my preference, and the justification varies a good amount between songs. A number of songs are split over two pages, but they publisher did a good job of making sure that they coordinate well with the page binding so that you don't have to flip the page to keep on reading the songs. There are a good amount of times where you will see 3 songs mashed together across 2 pages.I have noticed some pretty obvious issues that I'd basically expect from a fake book - some of the keys feel a little off, and some modest disagreements that I have with the rhythm. But if you know the song, they are easy enough to overcome on your own.

We don't need fancy formats and hyperlinked indices. All we want for e-editions, as musicians, is the notes front and center, and an easy way to display as much as possible, to reduce page turns. The kindle edition fails to deliver these necessities.The thing that makes it unusable is actually the Kindle App (on iOS both ipad and especially phone) and on Mac OS. Honestly, if it were more simple and just displayed like a normal pdf it would probably be fine. The scores are small and I often want to zoom in. I have 20/20 vision. However, the scores are raster images placed in between text (title/composer), and they don't zoom in, as you would expect. You can increase the text size but that just affects the title. You can click on each of the images, a hunk of score, and pinch zoom to zoom in on that one image to make it larger, but that inexplicably disables page turns, so then you can't quickly move to the next page. You have to un zoom and try to find the fidgety next page button. You can display pages two-up, but the zoom problem persists: you can only zoom into one score hunk (page) at a time. And the pagination is pretty poor so you do usually have to switch to another page. If there are ways to solve my problem they are not obvious.A very frustrating experience. I'm only going to stick with pdfs on forScore, or paper copies from now on. The content is fine but not amazing, with a range of the 90s hits I grew up with and some selections from the newer movies like Frozen.

Great book, easy to play with lead lines and chords. So many wonderful Disney songs for musicians!

I'm an experienced guitar player but a novice piano player. This is the first true "fake book" I've ever used, but I was very impressed. The chord symbols are very detailed, showing all sorts of passing chords, inversions, suspensions, embellishments, extensions, moving bass lines, etc. There's plenty of information to make a really cool sounding arrangement, whether for vocal accompaniment or just a piano solo rendition. I don't have perfect pitch, but to my ear everything seems to be in the original keys.There are ton of great songs. It has all the hits I'm interested in playing (up through the date of publishing, so no Moana, unfortunately.) For a catalog as huge as Disney's, I think a fake book like this is a great way to go.

If like me you’re Disney mad, then this book is a must have. Even if you’re not an accomplished pianist, it’s got sooo many songs and lyrics that it’s a great resource, even if you just want to sing along to the films, or are a Disney memorabilia collector. For those of us who do play piano, it’s a brilliant fake book and great for spontaneously playing along to your favourite film!

I did not feel it was clear that this was just the melody line of the Disney songs. i had not found any information saying that was what a fake book was. disappointed.

The only dislike I have was the fact that some songs can not be played on the recorder as the notes go lower than the lowest note on the recorder. Pages are easily turned, printing is clear and I love having the lyrics to the songs. I have had other Hal Leonard books and the quality is always good. Get the book and have fun making music.

Libro stupendo! È un fake book, quindi mi aspettavo di trovare solo la melodia in chiave di violino arricchita di sigle per inventare l’accompagnamento. Ci sono davvero tantissime canzoncine natalizie, da quelle più famose a quelle più sconosciute, tantissimi canti tradizionali e carole stupende. Consigliatissimo!

Nella descrizione c'è scritto che è "for piano" in realtà c'è solo il pentagramma per la mano destra mentre per la mano sinistra i classici accordi. Io ho il pianoforte e non la tastiera.Rimandato indietro.
