More about this title

About the Composer: Mark Tremonti

Mark Tremonti is the guitarist and primary songwriter for the rock band Creed, which rose to prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s. His compositional work spans both band material and solo projects, demonstrating a facility with melodic structures that appeal across commercial and educational settings.

Why we love this

This collection captures the soundtrack of a generation, pairing instantly recognizable melodies with fully realized piano arrangements that work equally well for solo performance or classroom singing. The breadth of styles, from power ballads to dance tracks to country crossovers, means you can program across moods and eras without leaving one book.

What to expect

An emotional time capsule. These are songs built on sincerity and production polish, ranging from Whitney Houston's powerhouse vocal control to Sheryl Crow's conversational ease. The arrangements honor the original recordings while staying playable at a reasonable skill level.

Who it's for

Pianists preparing audition material, voice teachers looking for contemporary repertoire that sits well on the voice, and music teachers building a bridge between classical study and popular music literacy. This book also serves intermediate-to-advanced players who want to explore the songs they grew up hearing on the radio.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal line against the piano part so lyrics remain clear; these songs live or die by their singability, not by showy accompaniment
  • Use the guitar chord diagrams to explore jazz voicings or reharmonization if you're working with advanced pianists who want to deepen their harmonic vocabulary
  • Pay attention to the rhythmic pocket in uptempo numbers like 'Gonna Make You Sweat'; locking into the groove matters more than technical perfection

How to use it

Build a nostalgia-centered recital or community concert drawing on multiple selections from this collection, letting different soloists choose songs that match their vocal range and style. For voice studios, this book becomes a go-to source for contemporary standards that singers actually want to perform.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and interpreting guitar chord diagrams while playing piano
  • Balancing melody and accompaniment in popular song styles
  • Sustaining interpretation across a wide emotional range (power ballads to upbeat pop)
  • Sight-reading through varied rhythmic and harmonic language
  • Accompanying singers with flexible, responsive piano playing
