Hamilton: Easy Piano Music from the Musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda

Clarissa: We've been obsessed with the soundtrack so got this to tinker with on the piano. We were bummed it was missing a few favs that we thought would be in there but also realize a lot of the songs would probably be pretty tricky to put in a beginner-ish book. Definitely worth buying, though. "You'll Be Back" was pretty easy to play and a definite crowd pleaser :).

E. MooreE. Moore: I’m not a piano teacher but I am a beginner piano player. I absolutely love Hamilton and took it upon myself to order the book and there is definitely songs that beginners could learn like “wait for it” but I think it is a great product to have and be able to challenge myself on learning, and I would definitely recommend for more intermediate players :)

Amazon Customer: I’m an adult piano player getting back into it. I found these pieces to offer a good challenge. Definitely beginner level though so I don’t recommend it to someone looking for a high level challenge. It sounded like some of the pieces were transposed from the original score, but I could be imagining this!

Tony Ard: I was disappointed that Amazon didn't offer a "Look Inside" for the music as I appreciate seeing the key signature (0-2 sharps / flats on this one) and difficulty of music. However, took a chance and am very pleased with the music. I'm an intermediate player and enjoy being able to sit down and play without a lot of prep. I didn't want a "big note" piano book and this delivered, being a step above in my opinion. Some of the music is rhythmically complex for me so an easier music helps. It's written for piano so the songs sound really good. Nice selection of the songs too. I recommend this book.

Miranda: My 10 year old niece started piano lessons this year and loves it, she also loves Hamilton. She loves the book and even though she has to learn some notes and sequences she is loving the challenge.

Amazon Customer: I've been playing the piano on and off for many years, but I don't put a ton of time into it so I'm not great by any means. I wanted a book of arrangements that I could learn and enjoy fairly quickly. That said...this book was almost TOO easy for me. It would be great for a beginner, but for anyone with some experience you'll probably want something more challenging.

The song selection is also a little odd to me. I get that "Alexander Hamilton" and "My Shot" are the main songs in the show, but they have a lot of rapping and sound terrible on the piano. Meanwhile, songs like "History Has Its Eyes On You" or "It's Quiet Uptown" I think would be beautiful piano tracks, but they were left out.

My biggest complaint is the changes they made to some of the songs to make them easier. In my favorite song from the musical, Wait For It, they changed the key and completely CUT OUT the bridge, which is my favorite part of the song! I'm in the process of writing it back in myself using an arrangement from a harder book for reference, but it's a royal pain. I think they easily could have left it in and arranged it differently to be less challenging.

That's why I knocked off...

Susan Goewey: This songbook is a great gift for yourself or for anyone who plays a little piano and who loves the Hamilton CD-- even if they haven't played much piano since they were a kid (as I hadn't until recently).

Even tho it says "Easy" , most of the songs were not very easy for me to play (esp while singing ) AT FIRST but I love the CD/musical so much that I was motivated to practice with these ez versions of Lin Manuel Miranda's brilliant work.

And the melodies are so pretty, I CAN make the songs sound recognizable, albeit slower than intended, but they still sound great... which motivates me to practice more to improve.

My three favorite songs in this book are
-You'll be back
-Dear Theodosia
-Burn
I wish there were more songs included (esp the heart-stopping "Unimaginable" piece ).
But I am happy that I bought this book -- it brings back to mind the many great mini-stories within the play and the joy I felt when I finally got to see Hamilton when it came to DC after I obsessively checked the Kennedy Center website each day until I found tickets at a reasonable price (knowing pricey seats sometimes come available at a drop in price a few days before...

Lily: Ich frage mich zwar immer noch warum amazon.de mir diese Noten für unter vier Euro verkauft hat, will mich aber mit Sicherheit nicht beschweren...
Man bekommt genau was man bestellt hat, Easy Piano Noten für Hamilton- ich persönlich habe sie nur als Sammelobjekt gekauft (für den Preis...) und nutze zum Spielen lieber die Vocal Selection (mir gefallen die Arrangements besser), für Anfänger sind die Noten aber gut geeignet und kleine Musical- und Hamiltonfans werden sich sicher gerne motivieren lassen freiwillig zu üben ;)
