More about this title

Why we love this

Kevin Sharp's "If You Believe" sits squarely in the pop-rock sweet spot where accessibility meets genuine emotional weight. The piano/vocal/chords format makes it ideal for singers who want to perform with keyboard support without needing a full band arrangement, and the harmonic language is sophisticated enough to keep accompanists engaged.

What to expect

Earnest and affirming, with the kind of emotional directness that pop-rock does so well. The marriage of piano and voice creates an intimate setting where the lyrical message can land without distraction.

Who it's for

Vocalists performing in contemporary settings, from recital soloists to singers in worship services or casual performance spaces. Pianists accompanying singers in pop-rock contexts will find the chord symbols essential for flexibility and improvisation in a performance setting.

How to get the most out of it

  • Let the vocal melody breathe at phrase endings rather than pushing through; the piano can hold the harmonic space while you reset.
  • Check the chord symbols for any unexpected substitutions that might differ from what your ear predicts; this kind of contemporary pop-rock writing often uses surprising harmonic turns.
  • Balance your vocal delivery so the lyrics remain intelligible over the accompaniment; pop-rock phrasing rewards clarity over legit operatic projection.
  • Work out your own approach to the chord voicings on piano before performing; the sheet music gives you the skeleton, but your interpretation of density and spacing will shape the song's energy.

How to use it

Program this in recitals or concerts where you want to shift tone from classical or musical theater repertoire into contemporary idiom. It works equally well as a standalone feature or as part of a mixed-genre set that spans different musical styles.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading chord symbols and interpreting voicings on keyboard
  • Balancing vocal phrasing with harmonic support from piano
  • Navigating pop-rock rhythmic inflection while maintaining musical line
  • Collaborating between vocalist and accompanist in a contemporary style
