1. "Studio Ghibli" arrangements
If you are familiar with anime music (or have students who are) you've probably heard of Studio Ghibli. This Japanese film studio has released some of the most enduring anime films out there, including "My Neighbor Totoro," "Howl's Moving Castle," and the Academy Award-winning film "Spirited Away."

Here are a few of my favorites from Hisaishi's catalog (click on the level to see the sheet music):
