It’s nearly the end of term, and with Christmas concerts approaching and exams nearly out of the way, many instrumentalists will want to take a break from their usual studies. Why not explore our fabulous range of playalong books, covering everything from jazz, film and show music to Christmas favourites.

Our Play Christmas books will get you in the festive spirit, but if Christmas is the last thing on your mind why not try our Play Hollywood, Play Broadway or Play Soul books. Unlike many other playalong series pianists aren't left out; these books are available for piano as well as flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet and violin with CD. And for those wanting to play with piano rather than a backing track, the accompanying CD features a printable piano accompaniment as a pdf file.

If you fancy creating some truly authentic jazz, you can recreate the sounds of Ellington, Gershwin, Porter and more by playing along along with top-quality jazz combo backings on It Don’t Mean A Thing and I Got Rhythm, from our authentic jazz play-along series.
