Year Three and After -
Free Sheet Music for Piano!
In year three and after, the free sheet music for piano on this site stretches pianists' abilities.
More technique is required, with the use of chord inversions, thicker textures in the melodies, and stretched hand positions.
Additionally, note reading strays far outside the two octaves around Middle C.
While much of this page's music is aimed at older students, some of it is easy enough for younger children who have been with you for a while.
Ae Fond Kiss, vocal score & piano music
A poem by Scottish poet Robert Burns.
A tender love song, saying farewell.
Aniron, Aragorn and Arwen's Theme
This is a beautiful song that sounds elvish in its harp-like restraint.
Full of broken chords. Lovely.
This song of the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12 in the Bible) includes all the words of the KJV (King James Version).
Guitar tabs and a lead sheet, also.
This is not particularly easy, but it is beautiful and sing-able, and the words are solace to the heart!
Black Beauty movie sheet music
An amazingly pretty theme, with a left hand pattern that allows students to practice shaping the rise and fall of phrases.
A few right hand ornaments add style to the melody.
Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair
What an evocative song this is!
The first page is slow (as you can see), but the second & third pages change pace.
Your students may really love this piece.
Perhaps the most evocative film music ever. This piece starts off quietly, then builds to running left hand chords and octaves in the right hand melody.
Don't be put off by the key signature... this 5-page arrangement is also available in the key of F.
A hypnotic melody with a repetitious right hand and left hand.
Reading the high notes - and the bass clef notes - is perhaps the biggest initial challenge of this lovely piece.
Cat Came Back lyrics and music
There are a lot of ways to use this fun song with the silly lyrics.
You don't have to be tied to the left hand chords as written... my students like mixing up the descending single-note bass line with the triad chords.
Yes, this is a cowboy song!
Some of your students will love this.
It is very short, but very pretty.
Three versions in several keys:
- with guitar tabs
- with piano accompaniment
- as a vocal duet
This little piece is a simplified arrangement of the original by T. Van Oesten. It does have a bit of an ominous sound!
Emma, a Jane Austen "Emma" movie tribute
This is very lovely, and parents love it.
Due to the right hand rhythms, this piece is not very easy for early intermediate, in spite of the repetitious chord patterns.
But it is very much worth the effort!
Esther - the story of Queen Esther in the Bible
Looking for a "big work" for your musical group? Perhaps something akin to a musical or light opera, but way less labor-intensive?
Or maybe your girls want to sing a Bible story that's not about a guy!
If perhaps you have a student who just loves a good story, told with drama, then check out this 57-page musical retelling of the story of Esther, a true-life hero in her day!
Funeral March, scary Halloween music!
A famous and ominous melody.
There are several arrangements on this page, including a very easy one.
Gaelic Melody, traditional Celtic music
Listen to the videos on this page - there are very few melodies as lovely as this one!
Now with an easier piano arrangement, in the key of Am!
This piano piece is probably TOO EASY for most of your third-year+ students, but perhaps you have a younger child who needs something fairly easy but fun to conquer before a recital.
This is it!
Goober Peas, easy piano songs for kids
Several versions of Goober Peas on this page.
This is a fun OLD song from the American south, about eating peanuts!
Harp Ballad printable sheet music for piano
This is an important piece in my studio, for beginning with big left hand broken chords.
When students start gaining the coordination to use broken chords, they are ready for this amazing piece.
And, it's pretty too!
House of the Rising Sun chords and lyrics
Several arrangements of this famous piece on this page.
Lyrics on page two.
A pretty Christian song which starts with a rhythmic chord accompaniment that changes to beautiful broken chords on the repeat.
In the Hall of the Mountain King sheet music
This famous music is from Grieg's "Peer Gynt Suite," from which we also have the well-known "Morning Song."
This is an exciting arrangement!
Depending on the age of your student, this song will be a challenge with its rapidly moving left hand and small chord inversions (page 2), or, if your student is older, it will be a refreshing break from harder music, while retaining a few challenges. Either way, this is a fun piece of music!
Keegan's Waltz Irish piano sheet music
Another very beautiful piece.
This has a singable melody and flowing left hand chords.
This is the kind of piece that students can dwell in, imaginatively.
Lavender's Blue, the Cinderella song lyrics
The song that Cinderella sings in the attic, which helps the prince to rescue her!
An easy melody to sing, this piano arrangement makes the melody sound elegant.
Several keys are available.
This is is beautiful traditional song from Scotland.
A sad love song, with a battle reference.
Guitar tabs on this page, as well as a super-easy beginner arrangement, and a lovely piano accompaniment for vocalists.
Louie Louie sheet music for piano
This sheet is showing the arrangement with chord INVERSIONS, which require SKILL.
A sheet with the root position chords, however, is what I start students with in the Louie Louie Wannabe exercises (that is also on this page!).
Several arrangements here.
A couple using blocked chords, and a couple using broken chords.
Did you know there are several melodies for this energetic tune?
Check them out!
From Ireland, this is a moving patriotic song.
Very lovely - you may find a tear in your eye.
A short version of this pretty arrangement.
Not just a lovely, if repetitious left hand pattern - there are some unexpected notes in the left hand.
This is a much longer arrangement of this beautiful music by Smetana.
It begins with the famous "trickling streams of water" theme.
My Heart Will Go On, from Titanic
The famous song that stayed popular FOREVER.
It is STILL a major hit, especially with young girls and their parents!
Once I Had a Sweetheart, Vocal/Piano
A little-known folk tune with a sad story, and a pretty melody.
Interesting chords...
Princess Bride - "Once Upon a Time...Storybook Love"
This is the real thing!
Shown here is page two of the arrangement, with a watermark on the image.
This is a beautiful and satisfying arrangement, suitable for students who are beginning to understand chord inversions, and who can play extended broken chords in the left hand.
This is, in my opinion, the most beautiful music from the Titanic movie. Listen to it and decide for yourself!
Choose an arrangement in Am or in the key of Bm - this pretty song from the 1993 movie The Secret Garden is not to be missed!
A vocal piece with a piano accompaniment made of beautiful long broken chords.
This beautiful copyrighted song is now available in a piano arrangement plus lead sheet! It is nine pages in all.
Don't miss this amazing song.
"The Snowman" theme Walking in the Air
An unusually pretty and sparkling piece, with energy and drive. From the short movie "The Snowman."
Hear this piano arrangement in a video!
What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor?
This song has a driving rhythm, and not too many difficulties.
Alternate lyrics, for those who prefer not to sing about drunken sailors!
White, Orange and Green free Irish sheet music
One of my favorite songs of all time.
A patriotic song about a young girl who bravely faces an enemy soldier.
