Now Twilight fans have even more of a reason to love the Twilight novels and movies. Piano players can get their hands on the official piano sheet music scores composed by Howard Shore.

I’m not the biggest Twilight fan and haven’t seen Eclipse just yet, but I have enjoyed the piano sheet music from the two previous films and expect that Eclipse will bring about the same musical appeal as compared to the first two movie soundtracks.

Just released, this book has not yet been rated by its customers. If features 36 pages of 10 selected songs and arranged specifically for piano solos. Songs include: As Easy as Breathing, Compromise/Bella’s Theme, Eclipse (All Yours), First Kiss, Imprinting, Jacob’s Theme, Jasper, The Kiss, Victoria, and Wedding Plans.

This book has not yet been rated. Rating: 0 out of 5 stars

Your favorite characters from one of the best-loved, animated Disney & Pixar films have made a comeback in third Toy Story film. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, I urge you to go see it right now! In my opinion, it tops both the first and second movie by a long shot.

The piano sheet music for Toy Story 3 has just recently been released, featuring 32 pages of five great tunes composed by Randy Newman. This songbook is for piano/vocal/guitar and includes songs like Dream Weaver, Le Freak, We Belong Together, and two versions of You’ve Got A Friend In Me.

The book also features a special 8-page section of vibrant, full-coloured images from the movie.

Virtual Sheet Music Review: A Musician’s GOLDMINE

Elise — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 02:23:16 +0000

Want Loads Of Sheet Music?

Every piano player LOVES free sheet music, am I right? In fact, I’ve often found myself scouring the web for hours and hours searching for a specific song on more than just one occasion.

Until a couple of years ago, I had completely NO IDEA that I could get practically all sheet music I needed in one unique place. That places is called Virtual Sheet Music.

So, what is Virtual Sheet Music?

This is a website that is dedicated to keeping an ENORMOUS selection of sheet music for various instruments (not just piano) that people can download straight to their computers and print.

But is it free?

Almost.

Since it is a membership website for musicians, there is a little fee involved.

You pay only $37 and get access to over 30,000 sheet music downloads.

That’s pretty amazing if you ask me. I’ll let you in on some of the other benefits as well.

Endless musical pieces to choose from.

Like I said, there are over 30,000 pieces of sheet music stored in the Virtual Sheet Music library. And you have access to all of them without any restrictions as a member.

High quality sheet music.

None of those fuzzy, small, half cut-off music scores with someone’s writing marks all over it. This is professionally scored music.

Fast, multiple downloads.

There’s no limit to how much you download. Heck, you could download 1,000 music pieces in one day and not have a problem. The best part is that once you’re a member, you just search for the pieces you want, hit “download” and there it is, ready to print.

MP3 and MIDI downloads included.

What if you want to hear what that pieces sounds like first? You have the option to also download the MP3 file and even add it to your music library if you want. This is a FANTASTIC feature.

Sheet music requests included.

Want to suggest a piece to be added? When you’re a member, Virtual Sheet Music gives you top customer priority when you suggest something new to be added in their sheet music suggestion forum.

How To Play Accompaniment Piano

Elise — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:47:33 +0000

Coldplay Piano Accompaniment

Classical piano is probably the most expressive and complicated genre to learn in terms of note and harmony variation. You never know what’s coming. Arpeggiated chords? Trills? A chord attack? But that’s what makes it a great challenge!

There are those pianists who don’t focus much on advanced classical pieces and lean more toward popular or contemporary pieces. Most often, a good piano arrangement of a popular song can actually sound ten times better than the original song that you may hear on the radio. Some people find them easier to play and learn because arrangements usually take advantage of chords in the left hand that can be easily identified and used throughout the entire song while the right hand plays the melody. And unlike classical music, a popular song will almost always follow the format of intro, verse one, chorus, verse two, chorus, bridge, and chorus. This can make it a little easier because the verses and choruses will sound similar, if not exactly the same.

Learning to play popular and contemporary pieces can be even more fun if you or someone you know has a good singing voice and can sing along to the piano. This is called accompaniment piano, and it can be more difficult to master than you might think.

Even though most contemporary piano sheet books come with piano/vocal/guitar notes and lyrics, this doesn’t mean that you’ll have an easy time fitting the vocals and piano accompaniment together. To make it easier on you, here are six steps you can keep in mind when you’re learning how to play accompaniment piano.

1. Chords are primarily played in accompaniment piano, while the singer provides the melody. The piano acts as a supporting role, not the main role.

2. Be careful not to overplay, especially on an acoustic piano. Pianos are very strong instruments and can easily overpower someone’s singing voice. When you come to any sections in the passage which must be played forte (loud), make sure to limit your aggressiveness at those times.

3. You must lead the singer without making it too obvious. Playing the first note of every vocal line can help guide the singer and cue his or her vocals without sounding awkward or too obvious.

4. You can double the root note of the chords to give weight and expressive range to the chord progressions. The result is a more effective tonal foundation for the vocalist.

5. During the times that the singer isn’t singing, you can create musical fills as it relates to the melody and chords. This is basically the time that the piano accompanist should shine.

6. Make sure to maintain a good knowledge and study of chords, as they are the main tools in your repertoire for accompaniment piano. The more chords that you know, the better equipped you will be.

Elise’s Musical Tip For The Day:

Glee Piano Sheet Music (NEW!)

Elise — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 21:48:58 +0000

Glee

Glee is my new favorite show. It’s one of the most successful new primetime TV shows this year and I gotta say that I’m hooked, yet slightly disappointed that they’re taking a winter break and putting it back on the air in April.

I think Glee has had so much success because it incorporates comedy, drama, and music and performance into one incredible hour-long segment with fantastically talented characters that can appeal to the younger generation (the high school characters) and even the older generation (the teacher characters). This show has a wide range of audiences, and it’s easy to see why.

Glee Songbook For Piano/Vocal/Guitar

Glee Songbook (Piano/Vocal/Guitar)

Lucky for us piano players, Glee has just come out with a brand new piano/vocal/guitar songbook with 120 pages of Glee’s best hit songs so far. The book is made up of 16 songs, including Take a Bo, Alone, Somebody to love, Walking On Sunshine, Don’t Stop Believin’, Halo, Push It, Confessions Part II, It’s My Life, Gold Digger, Keep Holding On, Rehab, No Air, and Bust Your Windows. It doesn’t say what level you should be at to start practicing with this book, but I would expect that it to be at the medium/intermediate level of piano playing.

You can search for these songs on YouTube with the word “Glee” included in the search to hear these incredible arrangements. Their most well-known one is Don’t Stop Believin’, originally sung and released by Journey back in 1981. You can listen to the Glee cast’s arrangement in the YouTube clip below.

The Best Christmas Piano Sheet Music Arrangements

Elise — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 04:13:35 +0000

Happy Holidays!

Can you believe that it’s already December 12^th? There are only twelve more days of Christmas shopping, decorating, caroling, egg nogging, cooking, and ugly sweater partying. I may be a little late on delivering the best Christmas sheet music considering that there are less than two weeks until the big day, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t get started and even be extra prepared for next year.

I’m usually pretty bad with practicing Christmas music and I always have been. I procrastinate like crazy and before I know it, it’s December 23^rd and I’ve only learned the first page of the piece. If I get my piano playing butt into gear, I’ll be able to finish a specific piece soon, which I’ll post to YouTube (hopefully).

I’ve been a recurring member of Virtual Sheet Music for a long time, and when it comes to holiday sheet music, they have the best to offer. I would suggest going with Virtual Sheet Music as opposed to Sheet Music Plus when it comes to Christmas music. They have better deals and more variety, especially for the advanced players.

And despite the annoying Christmas carols that we often find ourselves surrounded by in malls, grocery stores, and at the dentist, the piano arrangements offered by Virtual Sheet Music are delicately composed to include a wide variety of beautiful chords and harmonies. They sound absolutely amazing.

Christmas Carols (Easy Piano)

For the beginner piano player, this book offers three amazing Christmas carol collections of 13 pieces each, for a total of 39 pieces. These collections include almost every holiday carol you could think of, and come with lyrics and chords. These collections are ready for download in PDF format, with the option to download the MIDI and mp3 files as well. Even if you’re not going to be the one playing these pieces, they make a great gift for a friend or family member!

Christmas Variations (Advanced Piano)

For the advanced pianist, this collection is like a holiday dream come true. I downloaded this collection for free as a member back in November, and I was blown away. I’ve learned the first two pages of Carol of the Bells so far. What truly makes Virtual Sheet Music stand out is their inclusion of MIDI and mp3 files. You can listen to the exact piece before you buy it and even use it to help your piano playing.

Elise’s Musical Tip For The Day:

Virtual Sheet Music is one of the best sheet music websites because of their high quality sheet music scores and their membership alternative. I would typically not recommend buying each collection separately (even though this is an option). You can join as a member for $37.50 per year and gain free access to their entire library of sheet music and audio files. You can download as many files as you want, as often as you want. And if you’re not satisfied with your experience, they do have a return policy. So, what are you waiting for? Click here to become a member of Virtual Sheet Music.

Twilight Piano Sheet Music

Elise — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 04:55:49 +0000

Twilight

If you haven’t heard about the latest Twilight obsession, then you must be living under a rock. You don’t have to be one of the fans to know that the story’s focus is vampires, or that everyone is obsessed with the vampire character, “Edward Cullen.”

Last year, I bought the first book and got through about half of it before getting very bored with it. If I were 12 years old, I probably would have been way into it. After the first motion picture came out, I rented the movie “Twilight” with some friends and was not impressed. And just recently I went to go see the second movie of the series (New Moon) last week in theatres with one of my Twilight-obsessed friends.

Surprisingly, I loved it! I was surprised by my liking of the second movie, as opposed to my disgust by the first movie. I guess Twilight was too dry and boring for me and I thought the acting was terrible. New Moon had a better storyline and more action. I’m also a sucker for romance, and I completely fell in love/lust with the werewolf character, Jacob. Is it so wrong that he’s only 17? Probably.

Anyways, if you’re a Twilight fan, I’ve got just the thing for you. That’s right, original piano sheet music from the motion picture soundtrack of Twilight!

Twilight (Piano/Vocal/Guitar)

This book offers you some different things as compared to the piano solo book. First of all, it includes all lyrics and guitar chords in addition to piano scores. The book is 72 pages, including 11 songs that are slightly different than those offered above. Bella’s Lullaby is included, along with the hit singles Decode by Paramore and Go All the Way (Into the Twilight) by Perry Farrell, as well as songs from Muse, Linkin Park, Collective Soul, Mute Math and others, plus Never Think by British actor Robert Pattinson, who plays the movie’s male lead.

Twilight - The Score (Piano Solo)

Twilight – The Score (Piano Solo)

This 32-page book includes original intermediate to advanced piano arrangements from the Twilight movie. The arrangements make up 11 unique pieces, including Dinner with His Family, Edward at Her Bed, I Dreamt of Edward, I Would Be the Meal, In Place of Someone You Love, The Lion Fell in Love with the Lamb, Phascination Phase, Stuck Here like Mom, Tracking, and Who Are They?

Twilight - The Score (Easy Piano)

Twilight – The Score (Easy Piano)

If you’re not quite up to the level of intermediate or advanced piano playing, there’s the option to still enjoy the Twilight soundtrack pieces as a beginner piano player. These easy piano arrangements make up the 40-page book of 11 pieces, including Bella’s Lullaby, Dinner With His Family, Edward At Her Bed, I Dreamt Of Edward, I Would Be The Meal, In Place Of Someone You Love, Phascination Phase, Stuck Here Like Mom, The Lion Fell In Love With The Lamb, Tracking, and Who Are They?

Elise’s Musical Tip For The Day:

If you are a Twilight fan, you’ll probably have a lot of fun with this music. I personally recommend the first book (Twilight for Piano/Vocal/Guitar) since it has gotten amazing testimonials and a five-star rating. I’ll be looking out for the piano sheet music for the New Moon soundtrack. I’ll be sure to post reviews on it as soon as it comes out.
