Danny Elfman never fails to deliver a memorable score when put to the task, that is to be expected. But there is always something special about the Nightmare Before Christmas. If you are a pianist who is fluent in reading music, but want a fun and whimsical challenge- this is the book for you. Whether you are a piano player or just a lover of music theory: This score will challenge your mind and your finger dexterity with fun key changes, uncommon time signatures and shared joy for anyone who recognizes a tune or two from the film.

If you want practice playing in some of those key's that you haven't really heard about since Theory 1 freshman year, this book is great. Not only will you find yourself in the world of "c flats and e sharps," but you will be able to really hear and check your progress since the songs are so well known and noticeable to it's fanbase.
