Tablature or standard notation?
Tablature shows you which string and fret to play, making it practical for guitar and bass. Standard notation is suitable for all instruments and also shows pitch and note duration. Many collections contain both, so check the description of the specific publication. Simplified arrangements and chord symbols above the lyrics help beginners. For your first pieces, choose shorter ones that you can play from beginning to end.
Theory, notebooks and accessories
If you want to learn to read music, music theory will help, with workbooks from authors such as Martin Vozar. Music notebooks are useful for your own compositions and notes. It is worth having a suitable music stand when playing, and keyboard stickers can also make it easier to find your way around the keys.
What to check before choosing
- Which instrument the collection is intended for and in which tuning.
- Level: beginner, intermediate or advanced player.
- Format: standard notation, tablature, chords or songbook.
- The language of instruction in method books and workbooks.
