More about this title

About the Composer: Randy Goodrum

Randy Goodrum is a songwriter and composer whose work spans popular music and film. He has crafted songs that resonate across generations, bringing emotional depth to melodies that have become part of the cultural landscape. His compositions demonstrate a gift for memorable hooks paired with thoughtful harmonic movement, making them accessible to musicians at various levels.

Why we love this

This collection assembles 70 songs that work equally well in a voice lesson, a piano studio, or a living room sing-along. The mix spans decades and styles without sacrificing quality or singability, giving pianists and singers genuine material to build interpretive skills rather than filler arrangements.

What to expect

You move through decades of emotional storytelling, from the cool sophistication of jazz standards to contemporary pop ballads. Each page invites both technical engagement and genuine musical expression.

Who it's for

Pianists who sing or singers who play piano will find immediate use here. This book also serves intermediate and advanced students looking for repertoire that connects to popular culture without sacrificing musicianship.

How to get the most out of it

  • Read through the chord symbols first to understand the harmonic framework, especially in standards where jazz voicings add sophistication beyond the basic melody.
  • Treat the vocal line as a starting point for interpretation rather than a fixed boundary. These arrangements support flexibility in phrasing and dynamics across all tempo and style.
  • Balance the piano part with the vocalist's dynamic range. Many of these songs ask for intimate vulnerability, so the keyboard often needs to recede rather than dominate.

How to use it

Draw from this collection for studio recitals, community concert programs, or seasonal performances. The breadth makes it ideal for showcasing student growth across multiple styles within a single program.

Skills your students will build

  • Sight-reading chord symbols and realizing harmonies at the keyboard
  • Balancing melody and accompaniment in mixed ensemble (piano/vocal) textures
  • Interpreting stylistic markers across pop, jazz, Broadway, and ballad idioms
  • Transposing and adapting arrangements to suit vocal range
  • Accompanying singers with rhythmic independence and sensitivity to text
