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 arrangements, both formatted in big note for accessibility without sacrificing orchestral color. Dan Coates' Kids Rule! and Timeless Popular Classics remain steady choices for students who need variety beyond single-source material. Sleigh Ride and Other Christmas Songs & Carols by David Carr Glover and Stephen Flaherty's Anastasia selections round out the rotation for seasonal and film-focused units.

Carol Matz has composed and arranged over 300 published titles for piano students, drawing on her background as both a performer and workshop presenter across North America, the UK, and Australia. Her arrangements are designed with the teaching studio in mind, balancing accessibility with musical substance.

Dan Coates brings nearly five decades of arranging experience to this collection, having worked with major composers and artists including John Williams and Elton John. His arrangements across Kids Rule!, Timeless Popular Classics, and The Wizard of Oz are known for preserving the character of the original music while meeting students where they are technically.

Tom Gerou's work spans composition, reference materials, and popular arrangements that have become standard resources in piano teaching. His versatility across educational and recreational repertoire makes his arrangements particularly useful for teachers building mixed-level programs.

Alan Silvestri and Howard Shore bring their expertise as film composers directly to these arrangements, ensuring that their orchestral voices translate authentically to the solo piano.
