Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music The ABRSM Songbook, Book 1: Selected Pieces and Traditional Songs in Five Volumes

Was requested to purchase this book for my daughter's music class. I was unsure whether this was the correct product as told to get it with CD. This did not have any mention of the CD in the description or customer feedback, but I took a chance and glad I did because it actually comes with two CD`s and at a much lesser price than other sellers.

Collection of songs including the pieces required for grade 1 singing. I was surprised at how complex the songs are for grade 1 - I think I was expecting songs along the lines of Hickory Dickory Dock but the songs in this book are much more advanced & would require confident sight reading or listening to CDs to learn.

This song collection is intended for young singers taking ABRSM examinations but it is also an excellent resource for the Key Stage 2 classroom. If you are looking for good-quality art songs for classroom or concert use there is plenty to choose from. Clear presentation, attractive accompaniments and sensible voice ranges are also a bonus. The accompanying CD of piano accompaniments means that the class can practise without the music specialist on hand.There are four more books of increasing difficulty in the series.

Fast delivery, received in a good condition, thanks!

My daughter is using this songbook in her weekly singing lessons at school. She was asked to purchase the book 2 months ago and has only covered one track so far. I do hope that she covers more than that in the syllabus!! Great to practice at home though and I can also accompany her on the piano.
