Piano scores?

[jonnopon3000]

Ok. So I have been learning super mario bros on the piano for my solo performance GCSE coursework at school, and I recently found a score for the stargate SG-1 theme.

I have discovered to my delight that I am, as my teacher describes, "A talented pianist with quite a bit of skill".

This came as quite a shock to me as mario was the first piece I ever played on piano.

I have also discovered a want to learn a few pieces on piano, but I don't want to treat it seriously like lessons or whatever.

So, my question to you is, does anyone know a website where I can get piano scores for popular tv themes or game themes or even popular pieces for free, either download or just to view online?

Thanks a lot, any help is appreciated.

By the way, I have googled, and can't find much. I am asking here in case anyone does know and I just haven't found it.

Here, some links for you!

http://www.steamgames.com/v/img/whatsnew/StillAlive.pdf - Yeah.. guess what
http://www.benlandis.com/sheet-music.htm - music from games as well as a piece which will never give you up.
http://www.pianothemes.com/games.html - random game themes (doesn't seem to be working correctly atm)

Hope that helps.

I don't supposed you could post a recording of you playing the SG-1 theme on YouTube, could you?

Edit: Also, the video game music link appears to be dead. Nothing I've tried to click on works.

Edit Two: While I was typing that, the link vanished anyway.

Most print is copyrighted but some standards are free.

wikifonia.com has free lead sheets, they only have the melody and chords but you can make up the rest =)

It is still there, just with a comment.

Ah, I see. The comments hadn't shown up at the time I'd finished.

Would you like to record yourself playing those pieces and put them up on the Escapist? We'd love to see what you can do!

I removed a link containing guitar tabs.. I have no idea whatsoever how it ended up among favs (I don't play the guitar). There are some piano tabs among them.. but I prefer sheets.

I think my laptop's built in cam program has an option to directly upload to youtube...I will see what I can do. I hope I can...I would love to show off my random new skill. I have mario down completely, but not stargate yet. I am like 4 bars from finishing though (at half-speed)!. Only been doing it a week, so I am still quite pleased with my progress.

As the Germans might say... Danke schon!

Thanks a lot for those links, I will check some out as soon as I have finished stargate. Into favorites they go!

You'll see why when you go into it. I hope you like my piano playing!

If you're looking for a score in particular, post the name here and someone will probably be able to help you find it.

Even if the "real" scores are copyrighted and unavailable/out of print you can find fan adaptations with enough indications to get started. Only thing is sometimes they're a bit hard to find. (once I had to use the wayback machine on a ?chinese? site to get one)

I never have any problems just with using Google. I can almost always find everything I want.
