This Hal Leonard collection is a fantastic resource for my intermediate students. The arrangements are thoughtfully presented and accessible, making it great for teaching sight-reading and rhythm within the classic American standards. The engraving quality is clear, and the overall layout is very student-friendly despite the volume's size. A definite asset for building a versatile repertoire.

A reliable addition to any gigging musician's library. The collection of 100 standards from various iconic singers means you're covered for most requests. Chord symbols are clearly indicated, allowing for quick and accurate play. The arrangements are standard and effective. My only note is that the large binding can be a bit stiff on a music stand, but the content makes it a worthy trade-off.

This Songbook is an invaluable tool for both vocal coaches and collaborative pianists. The piano accompaniments are well-crafted and supportive, often doubling the melody effectively for ease of learning. With 100 standards from diverse artists of the Golden Age, the vocal ranges are varied and accommodating. It’s an essential volume for teaching, practicing, and performing classic vocal repertoire.

1. I did not know the cost of shipping until I had already agreed to buy this book. The cost was massive. I will never buy another hard cover book from Sheet Music Plus again, only downloadable music. 2. The book is massive, in fact, so much so, that it won’t stay opened properly at the piano. I then had to take it to another shop to get the back cut off and make it spiral bound. This was another $10. 3. I have only begun to read through some of the music. Some arrangements are poorly done, in fact with wrong chord choices.
