Believe: Piano/Vocal/Chords

This folio gives pianists and singers direct access to over 200 songs they actually want to play. The inclusion of lyrics, chord symbols, and piano arrangements in a single resource means less hunting for supplementary materials and more time spent making music. The breadth of the collection ensures that every ensemble or studio has repertoire ready for pop/rock programs, fundraisers, and student showcases.

Opening this book feels like having the radio, a songbook, and a chord chart all at once. You're stepping into decades of vocal storytelling and instrumental grooves, from intimate ballads to full-throttle rock anthems, all written down and ready to interpret.

This resource serves pianists who accompany singers, vocalists preparing audition or recital repertoire, and singers in pop/rock ensembles who need lyrics and chords at hand. It's equally valuable for students discovering songs from classic pop and rock artists and for teachers programming concerts that showcase contemporary and classic hits.

• Study the chord symbols alongside the piano part to understand harmonic movement; this strengthens improvisation skills and makes transposition smoother if you need a different key.
• Use the lyrics as a guide for phrasing and dynamics, letting the emotional arc of each song shape how you approach rubato and pedaling.
• Group songs by key or tempo when programming multiple selections from the book; this reduces page-turning anxiety and creates natural flow in rehearsals or performances.
• Mark chord changes in the vocal line to help singers anticipate harmonic support from the piano; this builds ensemble cohesion in piano-vocal settings.

Build a mixed-genre concert around selections from this folio, pairing up different artists and eras to keep audiences engaged and give your ensemble variety. Use it as a curriculum tool in jazz piano, pop music, or contemporary vocal classes where students benefit from learning arranging principles and performance practice through familiar material.

• Reading chord symbols and realizing harmony at the keyboard
