Welcome to the Hammond Music Service site!
Hammond Music Service creates and sells Song-Learning Systems™ on CD, a revolutionary rehearsal system which helps choir members learn a specific part of their choral music quickly and accurately. On each Song-Learning System™ you will hear a grand piano playing your part in the foreground, with all other voice parts, accompaniment and soft, metronome-like percussion in the background. Our rehearsal CDs are designed to help chorus members learn their music while following along in their scores, and will actually enhance music reading skills if used properly. Each CD is accompanied by written instructions with helpful hints on how to use the system most efficiently while thoroughly learning notes, intervals and rhythms accurately.
Song-Learning Systems™
Song-Learning Systems™ are available as Master Song-Learning CDs™ from which you are licensed to make as many CD duplicates or tape dubs as necessary, OR as Individual Song-Learning CDs™ which arrive ready to be distributed to choir members and are not to be duplicated or copied.
We have an extensive library of more than 300 major works as well as more than 2000 octavos. Since 1988, Song-Learning Systems™ has helped thousands of choral singers learn their music faster and more accurately than ever before. Directors can focus immediately on the nuances because the notes, intervals and rhythms are learned before the first rehearsal!
Changes in Songlearning.com operations

She sends best wishes and a fond farewell to all of you. We know she’ll continue to excel in every endeavor she pursues. Now, after two successful years at the helm of Hammond Music Service – Major Works, Diane is transferring ownership of the company to her brother-in-law, Matthew Hammond.
