Please make sure it is not that hard of a song to play and a website where the sheet music is downloadable and free.
And yes, I would be singing this to a girl so if you’re a gril, say what songs you would like sung to you as well

You could sing A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton… very pretty song…
sheet music: http://modernpianomusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/vanessacarlton-athousandmiles.pdf

You could also try…
- Only Hope by Mandy Moore
- Heaven(slow version) by DJ Sammy
- I Told You So by Carrie Underwood (even though it’s not originally in piano, I think it would be really nice to play)

but sorry, I couldn’t find free downloadable sheet music for these songs (you might be able to find sheet music for these songs on the website in the sources below)…

(you could always to try playing by ear if you can’t find sheet music)

(My answer might be pretty useless if you’re a guy, which, by looking at your user name, I think you are…oops)

You’d be better asking in ‘rock and pop’ where someone might actually know.

There are gazillion adults who took piano lessons as a child but stopped playing for various reasons. Some aren’t the least bit interested, but many wish to return to piano playing at some point in their lives.

I have never heard anyone express relief that they didn’t learn how to play piano, but I have heard many people say they regret that they didn’t make the most of their childhood lessons. Many people with those regrets suffer from the “round-to-it” problem–they’d love to relearn piano as soon as they have time to get “round-to-it.” And of course no one wants to sit in old-style classes with a silver haired grandma who couldn’t tell rock n’ roll from a rock. In addition to that, their busy schedules would only prevent them from attending the piano lessons regularly.

So what’s the answer?

There are two connected factors that create an unprecedented opportunity for these type of adults.

Firstly, the internet has opened up opportunities and information for everyone. Up until this decade people were mostly limited to a piano teacher that was in their region. But it’s not true any longer. A lot of piano teachers today have branched out into the online world by offering lessons on the internet. Some teachers will supply various media to help learn to play whether you are a beginner or an advanced improvisational player. And they are simple to find as well. Typing phrases about piano playing into Google or other search engines will return a wide variety of interesting results. (Attempt it, and see the results!)

The next thing is one that was already there, yet until recently has not been exhibited well enough for a layperson to digest. Basically, there are three methods for learning to play piano, and combining elements from the different techniques can produce better results than relying on just one method.

Those three methods are:

(1) Playing from a copy of the printed music. More than 95% of piano lessons are based on the ability to read sheet music and to make your fingers do what your brain wants them to. This is the traditional approach to piano lessons; featuring repetition of scales, drills, finger exercises and continually practicing pieces from the most basic to advanced compositions.

(2) Playing without the need for sheet music. Some rare people can truly play songs “by ear” and they don’t need any instruction since they can play any song they want easily. You can learn some techniques to play by ear, but don’t fool yourself into thinking you’ll be playing like a pro in no time. However, most people will find that they can be taught the method to play a song by ear, thus, learning how to play well enough to entertain for company.

(3) Using chord symbols allows you to play the piano. Numerous expert pianists – particularly those that play jazz – use lead sheets. Fake books are musical books that contain their songs in a “lead sheet”, which contains just the musical melody and the concurrent chords for the song. This kind of piano playing requires you to learn at least some chords and you will need to understand how to read music in the treble clef, which is much easier to learn than both bass and treble.

This type of piano playing does exist and is accessible to all, even though most view it as a style limited to professionals. This isn’t so. It’s a simple method that can teach you an appreciable amount relatively quickly. In just a few weeks’ time, you can play the piano well enough that you’ll be proud of your playing and want to play for your friends.

These techniques are all feasible and can be learned using piano teachers online. The most effective thing to do is to combine all three – learning to read music, developing an “ear”, and learning the chords and how to use them to create music.

It doesn’t matter which method you choose – just choose one and begin. It will boost your self confidence and entertain you at the same time.

If you are looking for free piano scores, then the internet is the right place to look for it. This article will provide tips on where you can find piano scores for free. Read on!

Before we go into details, let us first define what a piano sheet is. A piano sheet is a musical score with notes and measures indicating how the song should be played. These piano sheets can be found online and can be easily printed. Some are free, while some comes with a price. Others require you to avail a subscription or create a free account with them in order for you to be given access to their piano score sheets.

Searching for a free piano musical score requires a bit or browsing online. Sometimes, it may require you to go through a lot of result pages before you can come across what you have been looking for.

You can type the word “free music scores” or “free music sheets” in the search engine to look for it. You can also include the file formats that you need, which may come in PDF or GIF file formats. If you prefer printable or downloadable files, you may include these words as well to narrow down the search results.

A lot of websites offers free piano music sheets. Sites that offer piano education also offer piano sheets. You can even type the word “piano lessons” and include teaching levels such as “for beginners” or “easy”, so that you can get piano sheet solos that are easy to play.

One site that offers free printable piano sheets is 8notes.com. This site offers musical arrangements in several file formats. However, they only offer free musical arrangements on GIF file formats.

8notes.com also allows you to listen to the music using a Scorch format. Scorch is a plug-in which can be easily downloaded at sibelisu.com for free. With this plug-in downloaded, it is now possible for you to listen to a MIDI file and follow through as the music is playing.

If you need a PDF version of the music sheet, you may need to subscribe so that you can get it for free.

Another site offering free piano musical score is pianostreet.com. Unlike 8notes.com, they offer free piano sheet on a top quality PDF file format. They even offer free samples and free membership but with some restrictions. If you want to access file on all their piano sheets, you may have to subscribe and shell out a few bucks.

Sibeliusmusic not only offers free piano scores in Scorch format, you can also access piano music using the MP3 format.

If you need piano education and solo pieces in progressive order, then you will have to visit G Major Music Theory. The piano sheets that they offer are free and available in PDF format. MIDI files are also available that comes with the piano sheets for easy reference.

With all the free piano scores that these sites offer, it is of course impossible to find everything for free. However, my only advice is to search as many sites as you can that offers free musical scores and build a library for your own personal use and easy reference.

They may require you to be a member and pay a certain fee before you can fully access their music library. But even though you don’t sign up for membership, you can still avail the music you need in their limited access.

The sites offering the best sheet music are the ones that let you improve your research for piano music. They can make you search according to the genre, time it is created and the artist which are very informative search functions. You can find what you need fast like you can type specific searches like Impressionist classical music or Baroque. Searches can be narrowed further and you can specify if you need Jazz Christmas Music for example. If you are on a quality piano music site, you can be as specific as you want.

Music directories containing other sites offering piano music can be found when you search for free piano music. These music directories are helpful resources. You can see other host of various sites from them through the links. Most great piano music site has some extras. Others provide sheet music that can be downloadable in PDF format.

In several sites, you can as well listen to songs while you are printing them for they provide these songs with accompanying audio files. Others include digital feed formatted piano tutorials and free piano music lessons. When you get to join a music forum, you can have the access to lots of piano music online. You’ll be able to find the music you need without difficulty by chatting to different musicians and asking them on how to avail it. You will discover that these musicians may have the key to find a not very famous website that has great free piano music. It won’t hurt to ask a little help from others who know where to find good music.

Online college or university libraries are another good source of free piano tunes. You can also download the particular music you need. Links to other different sites can be obtained through these and you can get to choose from lots of piano music. Older collections of piano tunes can be found in these amazing resources online.

You just have to make sure that the sites are really for free. Do not be tempted to show them your credit card number as an initial fee to avail the sheet music. You may not be aware that they are deducting it to your credit card while you happily download a lot of piano music. You may end up paying and wasting a lot of money as you have given them the authority to charge you if you do not carefully look and read through the details.
You can find tons of piano music online if you are a clever researcher. You can enjoy downloading different music from sites that are trustworthy.
