Pop Piano Sheet Music

Teachers keep coming back to Dan Coates' Rolling Stone® Easy Piano Sheet Music Classics, Volume 1, which has become a staple in many studios. The Super Mario series by Koji Kondo and Asuka Ohta (including Super Mario 64 Water Land, Super Mario Sunshine Dolpic Town, and Mario Kart Rainbow Road) consistently outsells other titles, offering engaging material that appeals to younger pianists. Carol Matz's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Tom Gerou's Harry Potter Magical Music are also popular choices for students drawn to film repertoire.

Two new piano/vocal arrangements arrived in March 2026: I Just Can't Wait to be King from The Lion King by Elton John and Do You Want to Build a Snowman? from Frozen by Kristen Anderson-Lopez.

Dan Coates has been arranging popular music since 1976, building relationships with major composers like John Williams, Burt Bacharach, and Elton John who trust his ability to preserve the character of their original work. His catalog spans movie themes, Broadway hits, and chart-topping pop and rock songs across all player levels, which is why his Rolling Stone® collection has become foundational for many teachers.

Carol Matz brings her background as both a composer and experienced piano teacher to over 300 published titles. She's presented workshops internationally and is well known for her Famous & Fun series, giving her arrangements a pedagogical clarity that teachers recognize and rely on, particularly for film and literary adaptations like The Lord of the Rings.

Tom Gerou's output spans essential reference materials (like his Dictionary of Music Notation and Dictionary of Orchestration) alongside practical piano arrangements that have become standards in teaching libraries. His work ranges across Alfred's Basic Piano Library and popular film music, making his arrangements accessible entry points into more complex material.
