What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Volume 2
Part of a multi-volume set. The song list here is one slice, not the full collection.
Detail 03
Guitar coverage is chords
Guitarists get chord names and frames to strum from, not the recorded guitar lines written out.
Detail 04
Vocal line printed
The melody is notated with lyrics, so a singer can work directly from the same page as the pianist.
Detail 05
Songbook, not a method book
No lessons, exercises or graded progression. It assumes you can already read and play.

- 01A music stand helps — a thick bound book won't stay open on a piano

- 03Printed book; budget separately for any play-along audio you want
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this book have guitar tab?
No. Guitar is covered with chord symbols and chord frames. For the guitar parts written out note-for-note, you want a dedicated guitar tab edition instead.
02Do I need Volume 1 first?
Not to use this one — each volume stands alone. But the two split the songs between them, so check the contents before assuming a specific title is in here.
03Can I use this if I only sing?
Yes, if someone accompanies you. The vocal melody and lyrics are notated above the piano part, so a singer and pianist can work from the same page.
04Is it playable if I don't read music?
The piano part is standard notation, so you'd need to read it. A guitarist could still get by on the chord symbols alone.
