Actually, no they can't, at least not most Servants. Human servants can usually only learn Corporeal Songs, with a few exceptions like Saints. Now demonlings, relievers and other supernatural beings, yes ...

The key is that the GM has to be wary about what it's likely for a demonling or a soldier to have learned. If the GM doesn't specifically say "no" (I learned the hard way), it's pretty easy to craft a Servant that acts as an extension of the PC's Song and Skill set. On the surface, it ends up looking much more points-effective to give your PC all the roleplaying-oriented Songs, Skills, and Attunements she needs, and then just buy a bodyguard with Corporeal Shields 6, Dodge 6 (to dodge INTO blows targeting the PC), and Numinous Corpus Tail 6, which my player calculated is the NC song with the greatest damage per turn potential...

Quoted for truth. My view is that a Servant should be created by the GM, not the player -- the player can give broad strokes, but the GM determines the details, including the specific character sheet.
