Can our church perform your music if the services are streamed online?

I, Julie Lind, grant permission for my arrangements and compositions to be performed in both in-person and online church services using any type of streaming service. I appreciate having an “Arranged by Julie Lind” credit in the bulletin, but it is not required. You do not need to contact me before performing my pieces, but I would love for you to send me a note via contact us to let me know my music is being enjoyed by others.


Is the sheet music on PianoSongDownload.com safe to download?

Yes, all of the sheet music and resources on PianoSongDownload.com are safe to download. I am a piano teacher who simply wants others to experience the joy of playing the piano. I have composed and/or arranged all of the pieces on Piano Song Download to assure that you are not breaking any copyright laws or downloading any viruses.


I’m looking for free sheet music for popular songs. Will you add them to PianoSongDownload.com?

Popular songs are protected under copyright laws and require payment. I cannot legally offer free sheet music unless it is in the public domain or has been composed or arranged by me. Check out my store page for popular songs available for purchase through SheetMusicPlus.

Why are you giving away all of your sheet music for free?

I discovered that running an e-commerce site required professional web-design skills (which I don’t have) and created a lot of stress around keeping financial transactions secure. Switching to an all-free website allowed me to focus on composing, which is my true joy. For transparency, I do earn advertising revenue when visitors click on the ads on my site. If you would like to support my work, please visit the store page.


If the music is free, why is there a copyright symbol on every piece of sheet music?

Even though my sheet music is free, I include a copyright symbol to protect my arrangements from being copied and sold by others. The original melodies are in the public domain, but my arrangements are my own creative work. You are welcome to use anything from my site for personal use, teaching, or performing, as long as you don’t sell the sheet music or post it on your own website.

Can I put your sheet music into an ebook and offer it online?

No. All downloads of my sheet music must come directly from www.PianoSongDownload.com. Using my arrangements in an ebook or any other product would violate copyright law. You’re welcome to print my music for your own personal use, but it may not be republished, sold, or included in your own works.


Can I put your music on my blog or website?

You’re welcome to promote my music on your blog or website, but you must link back to PianoSongDownload.com for visitors to download or print the sheet music. Allowing printing directly from your site is a violation of copyright laws.


Can I use your sheet music in a music class or private lesson I’m teaching?

Yes, you are welcome to use my music in a private piano lesson or group music class as long as you don’t charge the students for the music. I love to hear how my music has helped students, so please send me a message on my contact us form if my music has helped your students.


Can I perform your sheet music on YouTube?

Yes, if you credit Julie Lind as the composer and have a link to www.PianoSongDownload.com in the description.

What is a Lead Sheet?

A lead sheet is a simplified piece of music which typically includes only the melody, chord symbols and sometimes lyrics. The typical way to perform a lead sheet is to play the melody with your right hand and the chords with the left hand. Many performers improvise by adding harmony notes in either hand to make the piece sound like a standard piece of sheet music. Lead sheets are often found in collections called “Fake Books”. They are called “fake” because performers are often able to fool the audience into thinking they have the full piece of music in front of them when they are really only looking at the melody and chord symbols.


How can I be notified when you add new sheet music?

I post new music and tutorial announcements on the Piano Song Download Facebook page.
