Exclamation Before You Request Sheet Music, Please Read This!

If you are looking for sheet music for a specific song, be aware that songs written in at least the last several decades fall under copyright law which prohibits sheet music from being distributed without permission (and thus, without royalty payments) from the original composer. As such, you almost certainly will not find free sheet music for any given song.

You may be able to find sheet music for a song through the purchase of an official songbook, or from a site that specifically sells sheet music.

You may be able to find some free sheet music for older songs from the other stickied thread labeled "Looking for sheet music? Come here first...".

If you are capable of improvising piano parts off of chords, then you can find the chords for various songs in the guitar chords section of this website.

Very good remindier Pianoman, composers make their living off the royalties paid for recording, and sheet music sales, airplay, etc. of their music. If you distribute those items for free then there is no reason for the composer to keep writing new music, and publishing it. Support the artists whose music you admire by paying for it. There are sights where you can download sheetmusic for a modest fee, and the composer will get their share of the money. Illegal copying and distributing of music is stealing, and shouldn't be something a Christian is engaged in.
