Free Piano Sheet Music By Kent Pinkerton

Music lovers and pianists usually search for reliable sources of piano sheet music. Amateurs typically have a constraint in terms of financial resources and prefer to look for free options. There are many websites available on the Internet that offer free piano sheet music. One of the many prominent free piano sheet music sites is www.sheetmusicplus.com. Sheet music is available on the Internet in a number of formats. The most common formats used to present sheet music are Postscript, GIF or graphics interchange format, adobe acrobat and finale. For music lovers that need a music score urgently, these websites are quite helpful. They have piano sheet listings for different music genres that make the task of finding a specific music sheet rather easy.

Free piano sheet music is rare to find, as most websites that provide piano sheet music require site visitors to acquire a membership by paying a fee. Free piano music downloads from sites such, as www.musicnotes.com are very few in number. Indeed, even such sites offer only limited pieces of music for free. The entire music scores on the site cannot be downloaded for free.

Another free piano sheet music website on the Internet is http://www.pitt.edu/~deben/freebies.html. This website has free piano sheet music made available to all age groups. It also provides music lessons with piano scores, which can be downloaded for free. This is helpful for those who are complete novices when it comes to playing music on the piano.

On the Internet, free piano sheet music can be found for many different music styles such as classics, rock and roll, country, pop, rock, oldies music from the 1930's to the 1960's and spirituals. It is essential for music enthusiasts looking for piano music sheets to identify their requirements in terms of the type of music and search for them extensively on various sites.

How to Play Piano

Beginner Piano Lessons (New Year) - Start by Making Room in Your Home for a Piano or Keyboard

By
Cynthia VanLandingham


There is no better time than the New Year to begin piano lessons. If you have been thinking of enrolling your child in piano lessons, don't wait because piano lessons have valuable educational benefits for young children. Parents know this, but the most common excuse given is "we don't have room in our home for a piano." This is an old fashioned excuse, because modern pianos come in all sizes. Just review the list of options below and make your decision today.

1. 76 key Portable Keyboard with Stand with Bench - Not a full size piano, but your beginner can practice on this for several years. It's light weight, you can set it up anywhere, store it in the coat closet if you have to, and easily take it to grandma's house. Get one with touch-sensitivity. I recommend a Yamaha because of the beautiful tone they have. Invest in a $20 portable bench also, because posture is especially important for beginners.

2. Full-size Portable Keyboard with Stand with Bench - This is an 88 key, full piano keyboard, but without the case. You just set it up on a stand anywhere, anytime. It is heavier, but still very portable and takes up a minimum amount of space. The Yamaha's and Casio PX100 are great for beginners.

3. Acoustical Piano's Now Come in All Sizes - Don't be afraid to explore this possibility. You can find a size that is not much bigger than a full-size keyboard. It won't be portable, but it also won't be the two-ton, back-breaking monster to move that your great grandmother had either. And it won't take up nearly the space. Acoustical pianos can also be rented to give you a chance to try it in your home first.

4. A Beautiful Grand Piano Can't be Matched for Playing Enjoyment and Artistry - If you're looking for a family heirloom your children can pass along to your grandkids make this investment. Grand pianos hold their value if you care for them and can even increase in value. Grand pianos also come in different sizes from 5 feet to 9 feet, as well as any wood tone, lacquered finish, and style to match your home décor.

Start your New Year by purchasing a piano that's right for your home, and you and your children will enjoy the benefits for years to come.
