Take That - A Million Love Songs

Level: Medium

An early hit from Take That with a couple of special outlines in the title. Large numbers frequently come up when taking down Teeline but they're quick and easy to write if you know the outlines.

Placebo - Every You Every Me

Level: Hard

This sing was recommended by Joe Sturdy who is working towards 110wpm. Not surprising then that this is a particularly tough one. Still, give it a go and those 100wpm dictations will seem a whole lot easier. It also throws up a lot of theory and useful to remember shortcuts and word groupings as highlighted in the transcript below.

Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody

Level: Easy

Thanks to Victoria Finan for suggesting this one. With slow, clear lyrics and lots of essential theory it's a great one for beginners. A nice easy start if learning Teeline is on your New Year's resolution list.

Traditional - Away in a Manger

Level: Easy

A nice, easy festive number which incorporates lots of theory. I might post another seasonal song this month so if you have any suggestions leave a comment or contact me on Facebook or Twitter.

Abba - Dancing Queen

Level: Medium

The Swedish popsters are a great choice for Teeline practice with clear, easy to follow lyrics. You'll need to use plenty of shortcuts and word groupings to keep up though.

Steve Harley - Make Me Smile

Level: Medium

Thanks to Joe Sturdy for suggesting this. It's a bit difficult to make out all the words on the first listen but the lyrics are worth studying and it goes at a challenging but manageable pace.
