Sheet Music & Lyrics
- Digital Tradition Folk Song Full Text Search - The Digital Tradition is a data base containing the words and music to thousands of folk songs.
- Richard Robinson's Tunebook - a collection of traditional tunes from Ireland, England, Scotland and the Northern Isles, Scandinavia and further afield :- jigs and reels, polskas and schottisches, waltzes, bourrees, horos and more.
- Educational and Fun Songs to Sing with Your Kids in the Car
- Folksongs of the World This is Richard Kopp's collection, 22 MB of songs divided by country, listed by both title and first line. Seems to have been adopted by various collectors, including a hymn collector, and various Scottish and Irish; they're feeding him material faster than he can put it up. Melodies for most, some very complex MIDI sequences (multi-part, multi-instrument, Quicktime plug-in recommended).
- Songs to sing in the car for kids From silly songs to songs that teach, even if you can’t carry a tune, everyone is sure to smile when enjoying some of these favorites.
