The book is easy to use and can be photocopied. The book is indexed in line with song titles on the CD. All exercises are multi-skill, involve reading, listening, speaking and writing and demand active learner participation.

The 22 songs cover the main events in Romeo & Juliet: The Play. The words/text itself are Shakespeare word for word. The songs are eclectic in style and bring the text to life by reflecting mood and atmosphere of scenes. The songs are also available as downloads.
