Summary of This Book
This "PVG" (Piano/Voice/Guitar) collection highlights Jerome Kern's melodic and harmonic writing through versions adapted for performance. The piano accompaniment provides a solid foundation for working on pulse, phrasing, and right hand/left hand balance, while the vocal line allows for building an expressive interpretation with a clear reading of the melody. The guitar chords add real flexibility: you can play as a duo, accompany a singer, or alternate between piano and guitar depending on the context (rehearsal, stage, lesson, audition).
Designed for musicians who want to broaden their "songbook" repertoire, this book easily fits into a practice routine: sight-reading, rhythmic setup, harmonization, then exploration of dynamics and intentions. Thanks to its volume, it supports both technical progress (setup, independence, accompaniment) and the construction of a coherent setlist, in the spirit of musical theater and standards.
