Piano Sheet Music in Different Notations
Notation allows music to be printed in accordance to different needs. For example, some notation may include a separate vocal linke with piano accompaniment written in a different stave. Other notations may blend the vocal line into the piano staff.
For beginners, there is notation that shows the "letter" name of the note. For those who may be hard to see, there is BIG note notation. Explore the many different kinds of notation, and see what may fit you best.
