"SONGS MAKE HISTORY AND HISTORY MAKES SONGS."

America has a rich tradition of creating music—classical, folk, popular, jazz,
rock. The Great American Songbook consists of enduring standards, the songs that
are played and sung over and over by multiple generations. These songs have a
timeless meaning and resonance, whether they are days or decades old.

 

Founded by five-time GRAMMY® Award nominee Michael Feinstein and headquartered
in Carmel, IN, the Great American Songbook Foundation advances the rich musical
legacy of the American Songbook by curating a vast Library & Archives to
preserve its physical and cultural history and by offering immersive programming
to inspire and educate all ages through music.

 



 


WHAT IS THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK?

An enduring canon of the most important and influential American popular songs
and jazz standards that began in the early 20th century and continues to be
written today. Learn more and experience the Songbook with our founder, Michael
Feinstein.
