I'll Be Around (Whenever You Want Me): Piano/Vocal/Chords

This comprehensive folio collects over 200 songs spanning five decades of popular music, making it an invaluable resource for pianists who need accessible arrangements of recognizable material. The inclusion of chord symbols alongside full piano parts means you can accompany singers, support ensemble rehearsals, or tackle these songs solo, and the breadth of repertoire ensures something works for nearly every performance context and skill level.

Moving through these pages is like walking through a jukebox of genuine hits. You encounter the swagger of classic rock, the smoothness of soul ballads, the infectious pop hooks, and the country storytelling that defined generations of radio and concert halls.

Pianists accompanying singers in rehearsal, performance, or recording sessions will find this collection indispensable. It also serves pianists in church music, community theater, corporate events, and wedding musicians who need reliable lead sheets and arrangements for songs their audiences recognize and love.

• Use the chord symbols as your navigation guide when accompanying vocalists or instrumentalists; treat them as conversation prompts between your left hand voicings and what others are playing.
• Adjust the piano arrangement density to your audience and setting. Strip back to a solo voicing for intimate settings or ballads; flesh out the chords in larger venues or upbeat numbers.
• Lock into the groove by listening to a recorded version first, especially for songs with distinctive rhythmic feels or production elements that shaped the original.

Keep this folio accessible during rehearsals when you need a quick, singable arrangement for a fundraiser, holiday concert, or special performance moment. It also works beautifully as a resource for student pianists preparing for recitals or developing their sight-reading skills across multiple musical styles and eras.

• Adapting piano arrangements to different ensemble sizes and performance spaces
