I found some good websites for free sheet music as I searched for all the songs the bride wants me to play at her reception/luncheon. FYI: searching for free sheet music is NOT fun. Every site seems to promise free sheet music, but when you arrive, you have to pay a membership fee or something like that. Or the really promising site turns out to be just a site of links to other sheet music sites you must then sift through. There are a gazillion links to sheet music sites everywhere, and here are the ones I found after hours of sifting. Mental note: Build up my pop music repertoire so I don’t have to do this again.
My Piano is a blog that has oodles of pop music, arranged alphabetically. That little alphabetic detail, my friend, is pure joy. You would think that would be the most obvious way to arrange such a site, but let me tell you…it’s not obvious to everyone.
Free Piano Music is one of those pages that has a list of links to sheet music sites. It was the best page of it’s kind that I ran into.
Piano Sheet Music is a blog that is updated frequently with new lists of pop songs. I couldn’t find a search box, so it made it a little difficult to find specific songs, but if you’re in the mood for browsing, there’s a great selection.
Virtual Sheet Music has oodles of classical sheet music. You have to pay for most of it, but there is a lot of free stuff too.
My search was mostly focused on pop music this time around. Do you know of any great pop and/or classical free sheet music sites?

We make hands-free wireless page turners for musicians who read digital sheet music on their computers. We’ve put together a huge list of online sheet music links on our website’s Resources page at http://AirTurn.com – many of these links are for free classical music scores in the public domain, and some even have arrangements of popular tunes. I hope this helps for your upcoming wedding event!
I love your website! I figured you must be from utah!! I am too! Thanks for all of websites for free sheet music. I have searched for hours on end trying to find more sites and I did! yay!! we love david archuleta too. how fun! have fun teaching lessons. I enjoy teaching piano also!
I have a growing repertoire of free music for teachers on my website, Music-for-Music-Teachers.com. But it’s a pretty new site, and it takes a bit of time to get a piece up, so there’s not a lot there yet. But yes, it really is FREE!
I’m really impressed with your site, which I discovered this morning through pianoteaching.com.
Thanks! Dana
Hi there! Great site and post.
One thing I discovered recently for pop songs is to visit some of the guitar websites. A friend and colleague recently married and she and her husband asked for a Bob Dylan song (”The Wedding Song”) I had never heard before.
When I mumbled, “Oh, I’ll have to track down sheet music,” she replied, “What for? Just play chords.” I found the lyrics with the chord symbols on top for chord changes, listened to it on youtube and thought, “Hey! I could just do broken chords in my RH and single notes in my LH (pop style). Another friend sang and another played on the bass so that’s really all I needed to do.
So to make a long story short, if you can’t find the song you’re looking for on the free websites, google the song title and add “+chords” to the search and you will most likely find what you’re looking for – for FREE.
