The Musician’s Hit Song Notebook is designed to facilitate writing songs – potential hit songs! By providing the building blocks for songwriting – the verse, chorus, and bridge – along with sheet music paper for filling in notes and areas for including lyrics, the Notebook is a vehicle for jumping right in and getting to work. Like a journal or diary, the Notebook also becomes a recorded journey of a songwriter’s efforts. 

With an introduction by Bon Jovi’s hit songwriter Richie Sambora, who will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in June 2009, and inspirational quotations by various musicians throughout the book, songwriters should find plenty to help them “channel the muse.”  ...

These notebooks are sure to inspire some beautiful music! No one knows better than Matthew Teacher how to create a successful music journal-his first, The Musician's Notebook, sold more than 200,000 copies. Now, for the first time, he has developed notebooks for the two most popular instruments: the piano and the guitar. Each one will feature inspirational quotes, words of advice, and wisdom from leading players, along with pages of sheet music just waiting to be filled and a section for note-taking. And they're both elegantly designed with rounded corners, and priced attractively for the gift-giving shopper. Musicians will especially appreciate the user-friendly, lay-flat flexi-bind format that's easy to write in and to work with during a performance....
