Studio Ghibli piano solo (full storage Edition) 100

My daughter has been playing piano for eight years, and she has been obsessed with this composer, playing the music on iTunes non-stop. She randomly asked for this book for her birthday (she did no research, just saw that it had a good reviews), and when she received it, she was surprised that it wasn’t written in English. That turned out to actually be a complete delight, as she started to play the first couple of lines of each song to figure out what each song was. She absolutely loved it. The book is written in Japanese, which she thinks is just the coolest.

It includes all the songs we are interested in. And the difficulty levels varies from intermediate to advanced level. It would be great if it the pages are on coils so that they flip easily and can stay.

Haven’t played it yet because I translated it first but came it great condition and I love it so far Here is the complete list of song titles in English for the English speakers (may contain typos it happens) Nausicaa of the valley Opening theme pg 4 Nausicaa requiem pg 7 The bird man pg 10 Symbol opening pg 13 The princess who loves insects pg 18 Contract with the ohmu pg 22 The road to the valley pg 24 Battle pg 26 Laputa: castle in the sky Moonlit sea of clouds pg 29 Pigeon and boy pg 32 Laputa castle in the sky pg 36 The girl who fell from the sky pg 39 Carrying you pg 42 Morning in the slag ravine Pg 46 A fun brawl (pursuit) Pg 47 Memories of gondoa Pg 50 Discouraged Pazu Pg 52 Sheeta’s decision Pg 54 Grave of the fireflies Home sweet home Pg 56 Setsuko and seita Pg 58 My neighbor Totoro The path of the wind Pg 61 Stroll Pg 64 Catbus Pg 68 My neighbor Totoro ending song Pg 71 The village in may Pg 76 A haunted house Pg 78 Mei and the traveling soot Pg 80 Mother Pg 82 A little monster Pg 84 A lost child Pg 86 Kiki’s delivery service On a clear day… Pg 89 A very busy Kiki Pg 92 The baker’s assistant Pg 96 A message left in lipstick Pg 98 Wrapped in gentleness Pg 102 A town with an ocean view Pg 106 Departure Pg 109 Starting the job Pg 112 Surrogate Jiji Pg 114 Jeff Pg 118 Heartbroken Kiki Pg 120 Only yesterday Main theme Pg 122 The rose Pg 124 Porco rosso In search of the distant era Pg 127 Once in awhile lets talk about those good old days Pg 130 Bygone days Pg 135 The time of the cherries Pg 138 Women of piccolo Pg 143 Marco and Gina’s theme Pg 146 The wind of ages when a human can’t be a human Pg 150 Ocean waves If i could become the sea Pg 154 Pom poko Always someone will be Pg 158 A tanuki’s livelihood Pg 164 Lamentation Pg 166 Now the tanuki… (epilogue) Pg 168 Whisper of the heart Angel zimmer (angels room) Pg 172 Take me home, country roads Pg 174 Hilly town Pg 178 The song of the baron Pg 184 Princess Mononoke Princess mononoke Pg 188 Legend of ashitaka Pg 192 Ashitaka and San Pg 195 Kodama’s Pg 198 My neighbor the Yamadas Quit being alone Pg 200 Que sera, sera Pg 204 Spirited away Day of the river Pg 208 Futatabi Pg 212 Always with me Pg 216 Sootballs Pg 220 The cat returns Become the wind Pg 224 Waltz katzen Blut Pg 230 Have you waken up haru?

I generally like this sheet music book. I'm a piano student and will be using pieces from this book for recitals going forward. Some pieces aren't exactly the same due to difficulty so if you're wanting an expert level book, you need to either look elsewhere or use this book as a starting point for your own arrangement. The fact that it isn't spiral-bound is my biggest gripe with this book. It simply won't sit correctly on most uprights. I took mine to a local print shop and they were able to cut the binding off and make it spiral bound for me for $6. I feel that, without being spiral bound, you can't really use it very well but, but if you're willing to pay a small fee to have it made so, it's a very good book at a good price and will make a fine addition to your music library.

The book itself is just amazing to flip through! So many soundtracks represented here. Thanks to the reviewer who listed the song titles. I feel that the arrangements are done very well for beginner to advanced players and am looking forward to hours of enjoyable piano time with this book!

I went to Office Depot and they cut out the binder and got it spiraled which makes it easier to flip through the pages, it was six dollars but worth it since the book is very thick and hard to play without something holding the left side. Otherwise very good book.

Exactly as described.

Arrangements are excellent! I only wish the English titles were included.

購入してから1年が経ちました。ちょうど良いレベルで、弾く曲が無限に(100曲ですが)あるというのは精神的にとても良いことです。 アレンジも良心的です。初級から中級まで混ざっているかと思います。 個人的に、小中学校時代にブルグミュラー25を終えて、ソナチネ、名曲110選のBまで習いましたが、初見でそれなりに弾けるレベルが多いです。(中学生の時から久石譲が好きでENCOREなど弾いてきたというのもあります) 耳慣れた曲が多いので、練習にも精が出ますね。知らない曲はSpotifyなどでサウンドトラックを聴くとよいです。 難点があるとすれば本の厚さ。何度も開けば馴染んでくるのでそこまで問題でもありませんが。皆さんも楽しいジブリピアノライフを送りましょう！

ジブリが大好きなので買いました。 もののけ姫の曲が弾きたくて。 ただ大容量なだけあって分厚いので 譜面台に置けません。 紙にコピーしてからでないと、見るのが難しいです。

楽譜が適切な難易度で弾きやすかったです。 ありがとうございます。

楽譜を乗せる台に、乗らない。 そこが、問題かな？

習ってた私でも難しい譜面だけど原曲に近いのかなぁとは思います。まだ弾いてません。
