Make beautiful music

 

I am fairly gifted in that if you give me long enough, I can play a piece of music by figuring it out on my own.  However some of the tricky stuff and harmony is a lot easier (and faster) with the help of sheet music.

With the help of the Internet, you no longer have to dig through boxes and piles at music stores to find the sheet music you want.  At most sites you can even download entires scores in PDF version, and at many you can get a free sample of the music.

These are some of my favorite sheet music scores with a alternatives for purchasing and downloading each. You'll see that most is for piano or violin, but can easily be transposed for any other instrument or voice.

Last of the Mohicans Music Score 

Disappointingly enough, I haven't been able to find the full score for my number one favorite movie soundtrack of all time. Here are a few tastes of what the score includes, while I scour the Net for more.

Pirates of the Caribbean Movie Score 

The Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack is really beautiful if you get a chance to listen to it just on its own, outside the movie. It makes a great piano or violin solo, or piano-violin duet.

Forrest Gump Movie Score 

The Forrest Gump title score is perfect for a piano solo or with string accompaniment.

Titanic Movie Score 

The Titanic score is a classic. There are several easy piano arrangements available and even the horn accompaniments sound great with strings.

Beauty and the Beast Music Score 

It isn't hard to hear why the Beauty and the Beast Soundtrack won so many music awards. Even though it's meant to be a kids movie, this is one of my favorite scores.

Hi Kimberly, Keys are one of my fav instruments. I love to figure out a song either one hand at a time or one measure at a time. It's a "zone" thing. I also enjoy playing a few other instruments. I started lessons at age 6 on piano. Love what it did for me. Music is one of my biggest passions - playing and listening. Nice lens. ~Music Resource~
