There are two different webpages on which you can find the music to learn. This is because two of the pieces are more complex and are not on the general Shabbat music webpage.

Message from Reb Zalman
Members of the wonderful crew with whom together we will celebrate the next Shabbos.
Torah and prayer need to be in harmony. Whatever I am currently deployed to teach and what you will God willing offer in terms of liturgical celebrative music needs to be coordinated.
My theme for this weekend is the dance of love in the universe. We have moved from the song of songs on Passover and are now counting sefirah and studying the ethics of the fathers – – Pirkey Avot – – where the dimension of love is mostly covered under Gemillut Chassadim..
We are also preparing for Shavuot; while we call this holiday Yom Mattan Torah the time of the giving of the Torah all the time that recount Sefirah we are preparing to make this holiday the one in which may receive the Torah. So much of our literary Torah tradition has been coached in denotative conceptual language. What we need from God as information has been made quite clear to us in terms of the global ecological and political ethical issues. What do you have not yet received as revelation are the transformative means to express them in life. We need the divine infusion into our heart and imagination to be able to realize what the information we already have demands of us. The attractor for that infusion will be our longing for it in the way in which we make room in our lives to express it.
I would like you to consider your contributions to create a container for such teachings. I will focus a great deal on our need to employ not only the left hemisphere of the brain with it's conceptual reasoning, but also, the right hemisphere with its compassion, love, aesthetic, longing and intuition. In order to receive the shefa' from the divine source we have to create a vessel of longing to engage and contain that divine flow. We do so with the right kind of music in prayer as well as with the harmony of lovingly relating to our fellow beings. What is so remarkable in music and liturgy is its nature of working best as a harmonious ensemble. Give yourself to reflect on the theme that I have mentioned and see which pieces you want to contribute and how these songs/prayers will best be presented so as to give the participants a feeling of sacred and safe space in which to open their hearts and souls.
It also is very important to have a smooth transition from one presentation to another so that the group that will be following the group that currently presents be ready to come on with the least amount of delay and set up fuss. So you make sure that what you will be doing is not in competition with what comes before you but is a smooth continuation of it.
I am not as robust as I was in my younger years. Yet I look forward to the way in which your offerings will energize us all to give wings to our aspirations for holiness.
