This Broadway vocal selection book is created for singers, pianists, teachers, and musical theatre fans who want a reliable resource for study, rehearsal, and performance.

The book features fifteen selections from the acclaimed Broadway musical Chess, composed by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, and Tim Rice. Arrangements are written for piano, vocal, and guitar, allowing flexible use in solo practice, coaching sessions, and live performance settings. Clear notation supports confident reading while preserving the dramatic character of each piece.

This collection helps build confidence and technique while improving rhythm, reading, and performance skills through musically engaging material.

The songs encourage singers to develop storytelling, phrasing, and emotional connection, making this an effective music teacher resource for vocal instruction.
