Warner Bros. Piano Sheet Music

Teachers return repeatedly to Dan Coates' Top-Requested Christmas Sheet Music and his Advanced collection The Professional Pianist: Solos for Christmas, both reliable bestsellers for holiday programming. John Williams' Harry Potter: Sheet Music from the Complete Film Series (available in both easy piano and intermediate/advanced levels) and Howard Shore's The Lord of the Rings arrangements are equally popular, offering iconic film music that engages students across all ages.

Dan Coates has arranged thousands of titles since 1976 for composers including John Williams, Burt Bacharach, and Elton John. His gift is preserving the essence of the original music while crafting playable arrangements for pianists at every level, from early learners to advanced students. Top-Requested Christmas Sheet Music remains one of the collection's most adopted titles.

Carol Matz brings a teacher's perspective to her arrangements. An experienced piano instructor who has led workshops across the US, Canada, and Australia, she has published over 300 titles and is known for her Famous & Fun series. Her work balances pedagogy with engagement, making even film themes accessible to students still building their skills.

Tom Gerou's output spans reference works, educational method books, and practical arrangements that have become staples in teaching studios. His arrangements appear throughout Alfred's Basic Piano Library, and his ability to adapt popular music for different levels makes his work invaluable for teachers building their classroom library.
