Keyboard, Piano/Vocal/Guitar (PVG).

Piano/Vocal/Guitar — PVG — is the format that lets a single arrangement serve a singer, a pianist, and a guitar accompanist. A vocal melody on top, full piano accompaniment in the middle, guitar chord symbols above. One book, three uses, the standard for pop and theatre repertoire since the 1960s.

Hal Leonard publishes the largest PVG catalogue in print: every Billboard hit since the era began, every Broadway show in current production, every Disney and Pixar score, and the working repertoire of every cocktail pianist, theatre rehearsal pianist, voice teacher, and cabaret accompanist in the country.

Hal Leonard's easy-piano catalogue lets students play actual repertoire — recognized melodies, simplified harmonies — within weeks of starting. The arrangements are graded carefully: 5-finger position pieces for absolute beginners, big-note editions for younger players, then progressively more demanding levels through to fully-arranged pop standards.

The catalogue spans the music a student actually wants to play: pop hits, Disney songs, movie themes, Christmas standards, classical favourites, jazz standards, hymns. Method-book progression with familiar repertoire, the through-line that keeps students at the bench.
