Piano Accompaniment for Vol. 1 This songbook consists of playable piano accompaniments created to best serve teachers and students.

With this in mind we set the following goals:

• 1. To make the parts playable by most certified music educators.
• 2. To include the melody in the accompaniment whenever possible.
• 3. To include important aspects of the recorded tracks such as introductions, endings, background riffs, melodic links, etc., wherever possible.
• 4. To make sure that the "feel" of the music is firmly established.
• 5. To include chord symbols for those who wish to modify the written part or create or create their own accompaniments.
• The available Teacher's Manual includes lesson plans and additional classroom resources.
