Choosing your singing books
Answers to help you choose your songbook, voice range and practice material.
How do I choose a book for my singing exam?
Confirm whether you are taking Singing or Singing for Musical Theatre, then check your grade and exam type in Syllabus Finder. Use the syllabus to identify your chosen songs and any required arrangements. A songbook contains a selection of repertoire, so check the contents before ordering.
What is the difference between Songbook and Songbook Plus?
The ABRSM Songbook Plus has a book for each of Grades 1 to 5, with a selection of songs from the Singing syllabus introduced in 2018. The ABRSM Songbook is a separate five-volume series with a wider selection of art songs and unaccompanied traditional songs.
Both series have grade-specific books. Choose by the songs you need, rather than treating one series as a replacement for the other.
Which Italian Arias edition suits my voice?
A Selection of Italian Arias 1600-1800 has two volumes, each in high- and low-voice editions. Choose the volume containing your song, then check the key and vocal range with your teacher.
Explore high-voice books or low-voice books. For an exam, also check the syllabus entry for your chosen song.
What should I choose for Grades 6 to 8?
Start with the songs in your programme and find the editions named in the syllabus. The Italian Arias volumes may be useful where they contain your chosen repertoire. Songbook and Songbook Plus cover Grades 1 to 5, so they are not a complete higher-grade programme.
Specimen Sight-Singing Tests, Grades 6–8 provides practice for the separate sight-singing test in Singing Practical Grades.
Do I need a sight-singing book?
Singing Practical Grades include sight-singing. Joining the Dots Singing develops skills across Grades 1 to 5; Specimen Sight-Singing Tests offers practice material in Grades 1–5 and Grades 6–8 volumes.
Performance Grades assess your programme and do not include a separate sight-singing test. You can still use these books to develop your musicianship.
Are Singing and Musical Theatre books interchangeable?
They support different exam syllabuses. For Singing for Musical Theatre, look for that full name in the book title and check your grade. Confirm every song against your syllabus before buying, even if it appears in more than one collection.
