Big Note Pop Piano Sheet Music

Teachers keep coming back to Howard Shore's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and John Williams' Harry Potter: Sheet Music from the Complete Film Series, which dominate adoption in this collection. Dan Coates' Kids Rule! and his Timeless Popular Classics have built steady followings for their reliable arrangements of recognizable material. Carol Matz's arrangements across film and pop repertoire round out the most-purchased titles.

Carol Matz has composed, authored, and arranged over 300 published titles for piano students and brings real classroom experience to her work. Beyond her prolific output, she's known for the Famous & Fun series and has presented piano-teaching workshops across the United States, Canada, and internationally. Her arrangements in this collection make familiar material accessible without sacrificing musicality.

Dan Coates has spent nearly five decades crafting piano arrangements that keep the essence of the original music intact. Composers and artists from John Williams to Elton John have relied on his work, and his arrangements span movie scores, Broadway themes, and chart-topping hits across all difficulty levels. His titles like Kids Rule! and Timeless Popular Classics show why his arrangements have become standard in teachers' libraries.

Tom Gerou brings deep knowledge of music notation and orchestration to his arranging work. As the author of the Essential Dictionary of Music Notation and over 160 publications overall, his arrangements are built on solid musicological ground. His pieces appear regularly in Alfred's piano collections and offer teachers reliable, well-crafted material.
