As an owner of this textbook, you have access to interactive scores for many of the songs included in the text's anthology which can be played and listened to online .  This resource also allows you to select additional keys and print your personal scores as performance-ready sheet music.

Notes on the Technology: A browser plug-in is required to hear the music. If absent, the website will provide instructions for the download and installation of the plug-in. The plug-in is called Scorch, created by the programmers of the increasingly popular notation software package, Sibelius.  The Scorch score player is very simple to use, but if you need additional assistance on its operation, refer to this help page (pop a page to include below).
