Apologize WITH SHEET MUSIC (One Republic, David Sides)

SHEET MUSIC LINK BELOW!!!!!!!

For some reason you can’t access the sheet music unless you subscribe to my videos, it’s pretty weird. But I guess you have to subscribe for it to work :)

If the sheet music doesn’t work, send me a message with your email, and I will attach a copy I have on my hard drive.

This is my own version of the Hip-hop song Apologize by One Republic. This is similar to the way David Sides (stud) played it. And I don’t want to steal any credit from David. There may be sheet music for this soon if people want me to make it.

Heart and Soul (piano) – Sheet Music Version STEREO

September 12009

MP3 of this song can be downloaded at:

http://www.justmyfolder.com/heart.htm

Ever wonder what the sheet music version of this song sounded like? So did I, that’s why I took the time to learn it.

This is the duet version (written for four hands). This is the original version of sheet music as composed by Hoagy Carmichael in the late 1930s (not a modified/arranged/easy version). Note it is rather different then the common version you’ve always heard played in scale C.

As an amateur player, I made every attempt to play this accurately – with no changes to the sheet music on my part. I tried to play all embellishments accurately (accents, crescendos, loudness/softness symbols, etc). In the beginning, I had problems getting the tempo/speed consistent. I finally used a Dr. Beat metronome set to 130bpm to get a consistent tempo on the chord pattern – which should be very accurate. I opted not to play the entire piece twice per the “repeat” symbol near the end.

Obviously, I couldn’t play all four hands at the same time. The chord pattern was recorded into my digital piano’s memory – then the melody was played during the video. The piano is a Yamaha P120.

The sound for this video was recorded directly from the the RCA line output jacks of the piano. Without getting technical, in order to post this with decent stereo sound, a sacrifice in video quality was necessary.

Please do not ask me to send you a copy of the sheet music – it was borrowed and returned to a friend. It is currently available from most of the large on-line sheet music stores, like sheetmusicplus.com (the cover is pictured at the end of the video).

I was not the first to post the sheet music version of Heart & Soul on youtube. That honor goes to a father/son concert video.

Piano music composition – The unfinished story

August 82009

A new original piano music composition by Isisip released in March 2008. The title of it is “The unfinished story”. Just like the music on the album “My music collection”, a lot of thoughts were put into it. This time another story is told by the piano.

Two versions are presented in this video, the piano only version was played a little slower, the two different versions have different feelings.

To learn more about the song, please visit http://www.pianomusicdownload.blogspot.com
(Piano sheet music available for sale on the website)

Hope you like it, some listeners said this music reminds them of the piano music from final fantasy.

Thank you very much for watching!

LOVE STORY (Taylor Swift) meets VIVA LA VIDA (Coldplay) – Piano Cello – by Jon Schmidt

August 82009

http://www.jonschmidt.com Hi…Jon Schmidt here. This arrangement is dedicated to Sarah, my 7 year old daughter who loves the song Love Story by Taylor Swift. Because of a common rhythm element between the tunes, I decided I could mish/mash the two. My great friend Steven Sharp Nelson (cello percussion) really makes this tune. (http://stevensharpnelson.com )

The download will be available from my site (http://www.jonschmidt.com ) in a couple of weeks.

The entire album which will be titled “Bonus Tracks” will be available on iTunes summer 2009. Sheet music will also be available at my site May 2009.

I am an unsigned recording artist and composer.

All songs from all my albums can be listened to for free on my site: http://www.jonschmidt.com

I have transcribed many of them for piano. The first 2
pages of each song can be previewed before purchasing.

There are also several free song and sheet music downloads including All of Me PDF and MP3

I am also on I-tunes, Amazon, etc.

I’ll be adding more videos soon.

There’s a little demo video I threw together featuring 2 of my most popular compositions: “All of Me” and “Waterfall” at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5mqWdc0ZoA

THANKS!!!!

TWILIGHT Official Bella’s Lullaby Sheet Music ♫ CARTER BURWELL for Piano

August 82009

Bella’s Lullaby from the Movie “Twilight” Piano Sheet music by Carter Burwell, arranged by me. Links for SHEETS: http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/0/6/2/2/0/3/webimg/204019643_o.jpg
http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/0/6/2/2/0/3/webimg/204019668_o.jpg

I put this down on paper based on what I heard (listening over and over, measure by measure), before any actual official music sheets came out (see date video was created). I spent my time doing this because I wanted to play it on my piano, and there was no other place to get the sheet music at that time, so I had to do it myself.

PLEASE COMMENT and RATE! THANKS!
I also have VIDEO for “Phascination Phase” from the movie.

the updated sheet music which has a little fuller sound (the first version above is a little easier) to my other video (you can click on it in “video responses”) can be found here (2 pages):

If you are having trouble with the left hand high “E” note in the 3rd and 7th measures === It takes practice, but you can play the high e of the left hand with your right hand thumb then continue into the right hand notes you are supposed to be playing for the rest of the measure (it’s playing “e” holding it down then adding g then while still holding the e note, release the g, and play the a.)

The octave higher parts don’t play higher when you listen, since the program I used to make it didn’t include 8va. Also, in Finale Note Pad I used a querty keyboard to input the notes, and therefore the second b in the first measure is played as a natural, as it should be, but the music SHOULD have a natural sign on it, and should not be played by you as a b flat. (Finale input via querty keyboard does not extend the accidental through the measure for same pitch notes at different octaves as music notation normally does). If you are confused by this, just play measure 1 right hand with first B as a flat, second B as a natural, and also any other measures that look just like it. Hope this helps those of you looking for sheet music to this song and I don’t know why it isn’t coming up crystal clear, my video I uploaded is clear—so sorry about that. PLEASE RATE THE VIDEO IF YOU LIKED IT, and leave me a comment! thanks!
