Where do you buy sheet music from?
on: January 10, 2003, 02:07:23 AM
I was wondering because i live in a really small town and there aren't many good music stores around.  Do you order off the net or what?  If you do what webpage?  thanks!

well today i just bought my first sheet music ever! :o(i've just begun playing) i ordered from www.sheetmusicplus.com, it seems very good, but rather cheap ;D

i got Moonlight Sonata(complete all 3 movements)
        Für Elise
        Ballade Pour Adeline

that should keep me busy for some time, and all in all, was less than $25 bucks :D

sheet music plus is quite slow.  i use amazon.com, look for dover editions, they are almost always quality, and if u buy more than 25 bucks worth i think u get free shipping.  plus for me it was like twice as fast as sheetmusic plus.

the best place to but sheet music online is www.pattimusic.com

It's wholesale prices, with a flat shipping rate!!! They also have EVERYTHING!!!! Classical, new age, ensemble, method books, they even have piano furniture!

I usually get my music from a shop in town but occasionally I order from amazon.com.  Its a good website.

Your local library might have some sheet music as well that you can check out.
