Famous & Fun Favorites, Book 5 is an intermediate piano collection arranged by Carol Matz, featuring familiar traditional, folk and patriotic favourites in student-friendly arrangements. Designed as supplementary repertoire, it can be used alongside virtually any piano method to give developing players recognisable music that is enjoyable to practise and perform.

Familiar Music at Intermediate Level

The collection includes well-known pieces such as Alexander's Ragtime Band, America, Carnival of Venice, Down by the Riverside, Hava Nagila, Maple Leaf Rag, Mexican Hat Dance, Scarborough Fair, The Star-Spangled Banner, The Washington Post March and Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Useful Supplementary Repertoire

The arrangements are graded for intermediate pianists and give students a practical way to work on rhythm, phrasing, articulation and musical style through pieces they are likely to recognise. It is equally useful for lessons, home practice and recital preparation.

Who Is It For?

Ideal for intermediate piano students who want extra repertoire outside their main method books, as well as teachers looking for accessible familiar music for lessons, practice and performances.

Our Take

A useful book for keeping intermediate students engaged. The music is familiar enough to provide an immediate connection, but the arrangements still give players plenty to work on musically and technically.
