Backing
Tracks
While in lesson, the student
can use any of the songs on the LHSS
Music Catalogue to sing in lesson.

will need to purchase your own music, including backing tracks,
for private use and use outside the Studio.
You can purchase
backing tracks here:

to every distributor in the world. If it's available on CD they
can usually locate it.

| Print
music
Print music (scores,
songbook and sheet music) can be purchased from any good print music
store. LHSS uses the following two outlets:
-
www.printmusic.com.au
Print Musicworks have access to a
very large range of print music. They can order music quickly
and are very reliable.
They charge a reasonable delivery fee.
They are located interstate and have a toll free number
ph 1800 060 518
Although
you *can* order from them online, I have found that this isn't
as effective as talking to them on the phone.
- Sheet
Music Direct
Buy
a single song on sheet music online and download it onto your
computer.
You
can view songs for keys and versions.
Sheet
music (one song) is approximately 4 US dollars each. With
the conversion to Australian dollar it averages about $4.50.
