Make a Choir Songbook
Turn your choir's sheet music into a printed repertoire book. Organize by concert program, season, or voice part — with a cover, table of contents, and chapter dividers. Print a copy for every singer.
Why Print a Choir Songbook?
No loose pages at rehearsal
End the chaos of dropped sheets and missing pages. Every singer has a bound book with page numbers and a table of contents.
Concert-ready in one flip
Organize by concert program so singers can follow along in order. No shuffling between folders or binders on stage.
A keepsake for the season
A printed songbook becomes a memento of the season — singers keep them, annotate them, and look back on shared performances.
Chapter Ideas for a Choir Songbook
Use chapter dividers to organize your repertoire in a way that matches how your choir rehearses and performs.
By concert program
Spring Concert, Holiday Program, Commencement. Each chapter maps to a performance so singers rehearse in order.
By voice part
Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass. Each singer gets a book with their part highlighted or separated for focused practice.
By difficulty
Sight-reading pieces, rehearsed repertoire, performance-ready. Helps the director plan rehearsal time effectively.
By genre or period
Renaissance, Classical, Romantic, Contemporary, World Music. Great for educational choirs and university ensembles.
By language
English, Latin, German, Italian, French. Many choirs sing in multiple languages — group them for pronunciation practice.
Warm-ups and exercises
A dedicated chapter for vocal warm-ups, sight-reading exercises, and technique drills that open every rehearsal.

What the Tool Adds to Your Choir Book
You upload the sheet music. MakeMySongBook handles the book formatting.
Table of contents

Chapter dividers
Full-page section breaks for each concert or category. Four styles: Classic, Modern, Minimal, Ornate.
Song title headers
Every page shows the piece title in the corner — no confusion about which score you're reading.
Page numbers
'Turn to page 22' — and every singer is there. Automatic numbering matching the table of contents.
Smart page alignment
Multi-page scores always start on the correct side for double-sided printing. Both pages visible in one spread.
Custom cover with your logo
Your choir name, season, color theme, and logo. Professional enough for concert programs.
Tips for a Great Choir Songbook
- Print on A4 for music stand readability — choir scores often have small notation that gets lost on A5.
- Include composer and arranger in the file name so it appears in the table of contents.
- Create a 'Warm-ups' chapter at the front with your regular vocal exercises and sight-reading drills.
- Use the Classic divider style for formal concerts, Modern for contemporary programs.
- Print extra copies for new members joining mid-season, guest singers, and the accompanist.
- Update and reprint for each concert season. Archive old books — they make great references for future programming.
