Disney Channel Rocks!: A Companion to All Your Favorite Shows


Disney Channel Rocks!: A Companion to All Your Favorite Shows
From High School Musical to Hannah Montana--it's all here!

For readers who know every word of every song in High School Musical, want to go behind the scenes of Hannah Montana, or can't get enough of Cory in the House or The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, this is the perfect book. Jam-packed with quizzes, trivia, and photos of the most popular Disney Channel stars, this book is a must-have for tweens! A section on the brand-new show The Wizards of Waverly Place is also included.


New Illustrated Treasury of Disney Songs
This magnificent coffee table collection is a Disney lover's dream come true! It is a guided tour through the many legendary years of Disney music, from "Minnie's Yoo Hoo" in 1930 up through the latest songs from today's Disney blockbusters. The book begins with an extensive musical history of Disney, followed by beautiful piano/vocal arrangements of 68 Disney classics. The songs are divided into the following chapters: The Early Years, A Coming of Age, Expanding the Dream, Songs from Tin Pan Alley, The Sherman Brothers March Through Disney, A Musical Renaissance, Disney's Live Action Musical Legacy, TV Tunes, and A Song in the Parks. Printed on deluxe stock with more than 100 stunning full-color illustrations accompanying the text and music, The Illustrated Treasury of Disney Songs is a keepsake to treasure for years to come!
Customer Review: Put yourself in a good mood
These are accurate transcriptions of many Disney favorites. A child playing diligently for a few years could tackle some of these songs. But don't think you are getting the 1998 publication. This one takes out some like "I wanna be like you", "Higitus Figitus", in order to put in more current songs from Brother Bear, Atlantis, and Treasure Planet. At last notice this book was priced at $29.95 - pretty steep in my opinion, but the publisher has cause for this list price; it's well bound and the pages are glossy and of good quality. So far my favorites to play are "Where the dream takes you" from Atlantis, "Go the Distance" from Hercules, and "Colors of the Wind" Pocahontas. But you can't beat the old classics from Snow White, Pinocchio, and Cinderella.
Customer Review: Disney Songbook
Beautiful songbook. Great color photographs from the Disney movies. Large collection from old to recent movies. Excellent accompaniments with singable arrangements. I highly recommend. Several songs from this book are listed in the Federation Contest List for Musical Theater vocal solos.
