Looking for a way to teach your students songs they actually know and love? The Modern Band Method Songbook series from Music Will and Hal Leonard is an excellent resource for music teachers. Designed to work alongside the Modern Band Method series, these books feature a wide range of popular music from artists like Beyoncé, Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, and more. This approach makes learning music engaging and fun for students of all ages and skill levels, providing access to music education that many might not otherwise have.

Revolutionizing How Kids Are Learning Music
Music Will, formerly known as Little Kids Rock, is a leading nonprofit that provides music education to over a million students in U.S. public schools. Recognizing the need for a modern approach, Music Will collaborated with publisher Hal Leonard to create the Modern Band Method Series. This comprehensive program includes guided lesson plans, audio tracks, and video instruction, all centered on popular music. The new collection of songbooks serves as a dynamic supplement to this series, offering complete songs that allow students to practice and apply their skills while playing in a band.

Bass Songbook 1: Pop, Rock, and Hip-Hop Hits for Beginners
The bass edition of the Modern Band Songbook is designed to be used with other instrument books in the series (keyboard, guitar, drums, and ukulele), making it easy for students to play together as a full band. While it complements the Modern Band Method books, it can also be used with any beginner instrument method.

This book is focused on getting players band-ready quickly. It includes everything a student needs to get started, such as:

Lyrics and chords

Rhythm patterns and signature riffs

Tab and notation

Tips for improvisation and soloing

Students will learn to play a variety of popular songs, including hits like "Adore You," "Dreams," "Dynamite," and "Sunflower." By using this fresh approach, music educators can inspire students and keep them engaged in the learning process.
