I play the violin, and I'm always on the lookout for free or affordable sheet music on the net. Usually, I just go to Central Library in Brooklyn, but it doesn't always have what I'm looking for. I've searched for a good list of free sheet music, too, but I have yet to find a recent ones whose links are actually still working. So here is my own list of websites that offer either free or very cheap sheet music. I only focus on violin and piano notes, but many of these websites do offer notes for other instruments.
- Everynote - This is the only fully paid site that I will list here. I include it because it's so cheap, easy to use, and quick. Why spend $30 on a book that will take 4 weeks to get to you if you can just dish out $2 (through paypal!) and have your music immediately? Give this site a look if you're searching for something specific.
- Music-scores - A decent selection of classical music for many instruments. Some of the more difficult pieces require a paid membership to the site, though, and I believe that there's a 3 download per day limit.
- Free-scores - A fantastic source of classical sheet music (including ensembles and chamber music). This site is a little less organized than the others, and it's a little harder to find things on it unless you know exactly what you're looking for. Nevertheless, it has SO much music.
- Music notes - Another nice site that has the option of membership.
- 8notes - Pretty much the same as the above two.
- My-piano - An amazing collection of modern pop and rock (among other genres) music notes. If you play the piano... give this a look! There is SO much stuff here.
- Evil_chocnut - Another great site with modern piano music. There are over 100 songs here, some of which are not on the my-piano site.
- Words & Music - Even more modern piano music that is not on the other two sites. This one is unique in that this music appears to have been transcribed by the creator of the site (who did an amazing job at it).
- The Final Fantasy Shrine - Sheet music from the official piano music books for te Final Fantasy books. There are some beautiful and challenging pieces here, so even if you're not a ff fan, don't miss out.
- Josh's Anime Sheet Music - The most complete list of links and sheet music resources for anime music, listed and organized alphabetically. So much work must have gone into the making of this site! I would list other anime sheet music sites, but they are all pretty much on here. So give it a look if you like anime music, or if you're just looking for some beautiful music - there are a few real gems out there.
I hope this helps someone out there!
