This book contains the melody lines/lead sheets for all 130 songs from Volumes 1-4 of Sing-Along with ElderSong and Christmas with ElderSong. Each song is written in a low, singable key, and includes the melody line, chord symbols, and lyrics, and is arranged for musicians comfortable performing from a lead sheet/fake book or for singers who prefer to see the melody line with the lyrics. No bass lines/piano left-hand parts are provided.

The songs are listed in alphabetical order, with Christmas/holiday music as a separate section.

What's the difference between The ElderSong Fake Book and Play-Along with ElderSong - Full Piano Edition?

The ElderSong Fake Book is presented as a collection of lead sheets, also known as a “fake book” to jazz/gig musicians.

Each song is presented with the melody line, chord symbols, and lyrics. No bass lines/piano left-hand parts are provided.

Those in need of complete piano arrangements with a left-hand part and harmonies in the right hand written out should purchase Play-Along with ElderSong – Full Piano Edition.

Elderly Sing-a-long piano accompaniment book.

Mary Ann Green on 3rd Sep 2019

The songs are easy to play. They are in keys that are lower pitched. I am sure that it will be used a lot.

A very good product!

Luis Galvez on 30th Apr 2019

As a professional musician I have been performing for many years and singing for Senior homes is always an enjoyable gig. With this book I can now add some sing along songs in good keys for my audience that will not only delight them but bring back memories of their youth and fun times.

Finally all in one place!

Jennifer on 4th Jun 2016

I've been leading music groups with elders for years using my own songbook collection, but there were some songs I just didn't have. With this Eldersong book, I now have a more complete collection AND they're all in one place! I'm very happy about that. I have done some modifications to the book, however: I removed the spiral binder and 3-hole punched it and put in black binder. Not only does this offer better protection, but you can also add in other pages. And I believe it's nicer for the audience to see a black cover rather than one that says "Eldersong". I am also catagorizing the songs into sections: patriotic, show tunes, children's, religious, etc., to make medleys flow more easily. I appreciate the copyright/composer info and am adding a little history blurb about each song too. And YAY for the lower keys!!! I don't have to transpose these down a third like my others :) Thanks!
