"A unique work....This work continues to grow and get better with each new edition. Users will be able to tell that the author is both well informed in searching for music sites on the Internet as well as comfortable explaining to others how to research this topic....The book is recommended for a personal purchase for all music educators and applied teachers, and it is highly recommended for all academic and public library collections."

DESCRIPTION
The third edition of Song Sheets to Software: A Guide to Print Music, Software, Instructional Media, and Web Sites for Musicians includes information on the history of printed music and publishing and copyright laws, as well as completely revised and updated listings of music software and other instructional media, web sites for musicians, and technical terms. In addition, Elizabeth C.

The book is divided into 16 chapters by subject matter, such as Music Appreciation; Guitar and Bass; Country, Folk, and Traditional; and Vocal, Choral, Opera, and Musical Theater, offering both related software titles and web sites for each topic. New to the third edition is a CD-ROM supplying Live Links to the sites discussed, as well as an expanded and easily searchable Tech Talk and sample print music scores. The third edition also includes sections on digital sheet music, digital online collections of historical sheet music, video game music, and an updated bibliography. These updates and revisions make this the most complete resource of its kind available.
