The Disney Fake Book – 4th Edition | Piano, Vocal, Guitar Sheet Music | 240 Classic Disney Songs from Movies and Theme Parks | Melody, Lyrics and Chords for All Skill Levels

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.

This book is amazing! Super great and big clear writing! Perfect for reading and adding 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 E Baby 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 E Chip 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 G Hi-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 E If I Didn't Have You (Monsters Inc.) in E♭, ends up in E If 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 E The 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 E Perfect Isn't Easy (Oliver and Co.) starts in C ends up in E Pollyanna'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 B These 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 B Trust Your Heart (Mulan) ends up in B Watch What Happens (Newsies) ends up in D♭ When I See Elephants Fly in E♭ When Will My Life Begin (Tangled) in E Where 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♭

Great collection of songs. Print is very small.

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.

What a complete variety of those wonderful Disney songs!

I purchased this, after deciding to pick the piano back up, about 5 years after the last time I played. I've been able to feel like a pro lol For those who don't know what a fake book is: You only have notes for the vocal sections. For the most part, the melody isn't shown, you're just shown which chords to play and which word to play them with. You need to fill in the blanks, yourself.

Spiral bound so it easily lays flat on the music stand. Great selection of Disney lead sheets. I spot-checked 6 songs with the original recordings, and they are in the correct key, which means we can have fun playing along with the recordings. Chords sound authentic. A fun book.

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.

It’s my first fake book, so I didn’t knew that it comes only with the melodies of these songs... meaning: you can’t play proper piano using them as reference. But in the overall, it’s good to have something like that.

Es maravilloso
