That's not the name of the site my friend Linda told me about, where you can download and print out sheet music and music-theory resources for free. Tomorrow we label the piano keys and learn "Mary Had a Little Lamb," which as I recall was the first and pretty much the last thing Amicus and I ever played together on the recorder. Note: it's a little harder to lose a piano than it is to lose a recorder, even when you didn't really mean to, entirely.
While we're at it, does anybody know where we can get similar (as in, similarly free) music for the violin? Epiphany's played through everything we currently have, and while we're waiting for our name to come up on the nice teacher's waiting list, she'd probably enjoy having something new to play.

Try http://everynote.com/ . There is a small fee for music, but you can print it yourself, and it is complete with accompaniment.
ChoralWili at www.cpdl.org is one of CN's favorite resources!
SO glad to hear about your new acquisition! You are truly the Queen of Frugal Acquisitioning! Hilaria and I are learning to play together (me--piano and her -- bassoon). Here are two websites I've found for intermediate and advanced classical and baroque music. You search for the instrument and/or instrumentation you want, and the free selections pop up. Both also have pieces that are only available by subscription (usually a pretty modest fee), but the free stuff has been quite adequate for where we are now. If Epiphany was to come visit us and bring her violin, we could play trios or they could play violin/bassoon duets! www.free-scores.com and www.music-scores.com Happy hunting!
Oh, it's by no virtue of mine that we come by these things. I'm just a girl who cain't say no -- and that's why we have living-room furniture, and a number of bookshelves and, as I recall, a really nice easel you'd immediately recognize.
I do live by the maxim that if you wait long enough, what you want will come to you . . . which is maddening to those who want what they want RIGHT NOW . . .
And many thanks to all for the great links (what you want will come to you . . . ) -- !!
Have you tried Sibelius? I used that one a number of years ago a lot. I believe you have to download something, but (as of 2008) it's perfectly safe. I don't know how much violin music they have, though.
