THE USB: Covering no less than 127 of your favourite classical music tunes. From Beethoven to Wagner, Gilbert & Sullivan to the Strauss Waltzes, Sousa Marches to opera favourites, they’re all here. But wait – there’s more! Each tune is covered with TWO different versions on the USB. Half the registrations are suited to the traditional CLASSICAL versions we all know and love, whilst half provide the “twist”: a set of totally different registrations with an unusual or more contemporary style used. For example, a Shadows version of “In The Hall Of The Mountain King” and “The Can Can”, a James Last version of “Habanera”, a reggae version of the New World Symphony No. 9 (from the Hovis advert), and much more. 127 songs – 2 great versions of each! Over 1000 registrations (1270 on the Genos).

THE BOOK: “THE EASY CLASSICAL FAKE BOOK” is superb and so easy to use. Fake books are basically BUSKER books (melody line, chords and lyrics). Full A4 size, the songs are mostly printed across 2 pages, and the music print is larger than usual and much easier to read.  ONCE AGAIN ALL OF THE SONGS ARE WRITTEN IN THE EASIEST KEY SIGNATURE – C. Although they’re all in C, we’ve made the registrations so that they sound as though they’re in different keys (they have been set in different keys in the registrations for you), to prevent any monotony to the ears.

As in many classical music pieces, many of the songs mean nothing when you see the title – UNTIL YOU START PLAYING THEM! Then it kicks in – “Oh, I DO know this”.
