5. Published Songbooks A-F

Songbooks are collections of songs represented in musical scores. Most often the notation is a vocal line with piano accompaniment. Strummed stringed instruments also make use of various systems of tablature, which instruct the musician which string to play and/or which fret to stop. This list focuses on collections that contain piano and vocal scores.
