First in a series of Session Books each containing one hundred great session tunes. The tunes in the first two books are mainly drawn from the musical traditions of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Eire, while the third and fourth feature a more eclectic mix.
Compiled and arranged for all melody instruments with accompaniment chords.
Designed especially to make learning and playing easy, the books are spiral-bound and hard-backed in A5 landscape format with one tune per page. There's no need for a music stand. No need to crane your neck over a table. No need to find heavy objects to put on each corner to keep it lying flat and open. Just select your tune, flip over the front cover, and Merlin's Session Books will stand upright, leaving your hands free for playing music
