YamahaMusicSoft Titles

[simon hooper]

Hi,

I bought the CVP-210 a couple of months ago which I am really pleased with. At the moment I love to play "along" with the internal "song book" songs following the score (without guide mode) and I am up to the level of "Love Song". I wish to purchase new songs from Yamaha in a similar style to the "two hands" arrangement of "Love Song", "Alfie", etc. I guess I am elementary but I am not sure. The descriptions on YamahaMusicSoft are very brief regarding level. I was going to purchase one book from each category, e.g.

1. ClaviSoft - Disk Orchestra Collection - "Best of The Beatles - Elementary to Early Intermediate"
2. XG for Piano - "Elton John For Piano"
3. Cue Time - "Medley Magic 1"

But before I do I would like to get opinions from anyone who has purchased these types of song book. Which group is best for the my (low) level of ability. I don't want something that is too easy/hard too play! It is a shame Yamaha don't put up extracts (+ audio) from the songbooks so we can see exactly what we are getting for our money.

Maybe someone could scan a couple of bars from each category so we can get an idea.

Thanks. :)

does the lack of reply mean that the YamahaMusicSoft titles are not popular?

Speaking for myself, I have only purchased one Yamaha title in the past six years. I have been able to find all the music I want just searching for free or commercial MIDIs on the internet.

Thanks for the reply.

The free midis that I have downloaded so far are not very good for me as 'play-along' songs. Maybe it is because I'm not a good player, but the score sometimes comes through very 'unplayable' to my eyes! I just thought the XG for piano or Cue Time Yamaha titles may be more suitable for my level.

Has anyone else bought one of these titles?

I bought the beatles xg intermediate and my kids think its great they are in that love story ability range.
