For three decades, the school songbook has been a classic in music education at the secondary level. For the third generation, the content and layout have been fundamentally revised and updated. With over 400 pages, the school songbook is the most comprehensive collection of songs for music education in secondary schools. Whether for warm-ups, Christmas, canons, spoken pieces, or chart-toppers, all relevant genres for teaching can be found here. The new songbook features a high proportion of rock, pop, and film titles from the last two decades, as well as many contributions from current songwriters such as Meinhard Ansohn, Uli Führer, Julian Oswald, Björn Tischler, and Andreas Wickel. The songbook has always been more than just a simple collection of songs. It includes numerous offerings on multi-part singing, class music-making, accompaniment patterns, and various background texts.
