Or there just wasn't any music to be found.
Or I might find the piano song they wanted, but the arrangement turned out to be. Or perhaps the composition I wanted wasn't available in my student's level.and even if it was, I wouldn't find out in time (think Christmas) because there was - and still is - no music store within a hundred miles of my town. I needed a source for free sheet music! It can be hard to match a student with the right arrangement Sometimes I didn't want to ask parents to spend money on yet another book, when I felt pretty sure only two or three of the pieces in the collection would interest my particular student. Of course there were lots of supplemental books I could buy. Then, it was always nice to have "extra" or "fun" music to coax them along through the tough times in their piano method books.
Sure, my favorite piano method books had some real gems scattered throughout the pages, but also pieces that kids would drag their way through, getting stuck in for a few weeks. The idea for my own free sheet music site started years ago, when I had trouble finding enough piano music I liked that my students and my own children liked too. Read about my own experiences and ideas, and what many other teachers have found to work in their own studios! Why this music site? but they can be a challenge to teach for a teacher who is not prepared.
