sheet music!!!


Question Posted Saturday July 19 2008, 5:47 pm

I play piano and sing.
Heres my problem: I always hear these songs in movies and on the radio and stuff that I want to learn how to play and sing. Well, if I download or buy the sheet music at the store, Its like how to play ALL PARTS of the song all like combined in one line of music. What I want is JUST the piano part, with the vocal part seperate. I dont want the vocal part intertwined with basicly what is the accompaniment. Thats what I mean-- I only want the accompaniment. Because obviosuly Im going to sing the vocal part- I dont need this peice of super complicated music with a ton of crazy chords. I just want the piano part seperate. So first of all where can I get just the piano accompaniment to peices of music that are just piano and voice? [peices I am thinking of in particular are "Imagine" by John Lennon and "Thank You for the Music" from the movie Mamma Mia] Where can you find EXACTLY what to play/sing so it sounds just like the origional recording/performance?

Another related problem is I cannot find like whole band music. What I mean is like for example, take any Beatles song. What exactly is each guitar part, what did the drummer play, and especially, what exactly did each person sing because I want to be able to have the harmonies! I mean, not each person sings the exact same part-they harmonize! (I play piano/sing, and my brother is a mind-blowing guitarist, and we have plenty of friends who could back up on drums. We want to cover other bands songs, but where can we get all the exact parts??)

Any advice on where to get my hands on this type of sheet music is greatly appreciated!

oh, and what about songs that CLEARLY have like a TON of singers (not only a lead but a bunch of backround harmonizers) and a ton of extra instruments like violins, saxes, trumpets, the whole shebang--- where can I find sheet music with individual parts for these kinds of songs?.

Try Hal Leonard?
It's a sheet music company and you can buy songs.
Usually I find that they don't have all parts on the sheet music, just piano/vocals, so look for specific piano/vocal sheet music.

& If you're looking for all of the harmony parts, you're basically going to have to learn for yourself because most of the time they don't have all of that on the sheet music.

hope i helped. let me know.
