Q. how to download the sheet music / piano scores?
A. just like my other site, PianistAko, the same procedure applies here in downloading the piano pieces. i'd like to remind everyone that i've categorized the sheet music per TITLE of the DRAMA / SERIES rather than per artist / singers / performers. you can choose to click the name of the series found on the left side portion of this site under CATEGORIES or just click KDRAMA, JDRAMA, TDRAMA found on my navigation menu where i've arranged the series in alphabetical order.
if you don't know the title of the series that you're looking for, you can try to search for the title of the song or name of the artist using my search engine.
if still, you can't find the piano score that you're looking, for sure i haven't finished transcribing that piece or nobody requested for that ost yet. feel free to leave your requests using my message board PianistAkOST Live! found just beneath the navigation menu.
YEHEY, you've found the song... all you have to do is:
STEP 1 find the DOWNLOAD HERE section and below this are the page links. place the mouse cursor on the page number link of the song that you'd like to download. click and wait for the intermission page to load. DON'T FORGET TO TAKE NOTE OF THE PASSWORD. the password is written on each post... it is not hidden. try reading the entire post first before getting impatient okay lol check the screen caps below.
STEP 2 once you see the intermission page, click the "SKIP AD" button and wait for mediafire to load.
UPDATE: CAN'T DOWNLOAD from MEDIAFIRE as of 26february2k12 just follow this step:
in order to download my sheet music, instead of clicking the SKIP AD button, you must drag the SKIP AD button to your address bar and voila!!!! you can now proceed to the next step!
STEP 3 enter the password required ( found within my post ) and click Unlock File.
STEP 4 click the Download button.
STEP 5 just choose whether you'd want to SAVE or OPEN it with... make sure you have Adobe Reader (or any other .PDF reader) installed in your PC. ( free download of .PDF reader HERE )
as simple as that.
if you'll be printing it, use the GRAYSCALE option on your printer...
also, don't worry much about the pop-ups from MEDIAFIRE / ADF.LY... those are just advertisements... just close the pop-up ads or turn your pop-up blocker on... I'M NOT REQUIRING YOU TO ANSWER ANY SURVEYS nor to DOWNLOAD ANY SOFTWARES, so if a page like that appears while typing in the codes and asked you to fill it up, just close that page. you are only required to type in the letters/numbers on the verification box. that's the only time you'd be using your keyboard hehe. close any other pages other than the verification page. i do download some of my files from time to time to check if there are any suspicious activities from these 2 file hosting sites and so far i've encountered none. download the files without worries okie.. ^_^v
and remember that in downloading these piano scores, you are agreeing to my TERMS of USE and that these scores will be used for EDUCATIONAL, PERSONAL and NON-COMMERCIAL purposes only. DO NOT RE-UPLOAD / RE-POST these piano scores anywhere else. it's already FREE to download my piano transcriptions/sheet music here at PianistAkOST. if you are to share my sheet music please... just make a direct link or create a link back to my site instead.... i'll take it as your way of saying thank you. ^_^v
Q. why did you put the sheet music separately, why can't you just upload it in one ( 1 ) .pdf file?
A. good question! well, i know it'll be less annoying on your part if i just upload one ( 1 ) .pdf file per song but you see, sometimes, human errors are inevitable. so, for me to have an easier job in replacing certain pages that have corrections, i've decided to upload the pages separately and will only replace the page with errors / corrections instead of replacing the entire piano piece only because of a wrong note on a certain bar, a missing measure, etc. this works for me best so i'm sticking with it.
Q. i think there are too much watermarks on your sheet music, can you remove it instead?
A. well, i've had cases where people just edit my piano scores by deleting/removing my copyright/name/etc. then print and claim it as their own work and man... that sucks!!! i mean, i'm giving away these scores for free why can't they just credit the authors/arrangers/transcriptionists by not altering the scores. that's why i'm asking you to print the sheet music using grayscale option on your printer as it is not as visible as it looks once printed. ^_^v
Q. are these sheet music the original piano scores used in the drama / series?
A. no, since i did these scores myself and i don't work for a publishing firm ( for sheet music hehe ), but if you play ( correctly ) and hear it you will notice that there's not much of a difference at all ^_^v
Q. are these sheet music for beginners or advanced users?
A. though i'm providing a simplified piano solo / instrumental arrangements, still, it's not too easy for a beginner to play BUT you can learn how to play it through practice, practice, practice x 9999999999 times ^_^v ( practice makes perfect! )
Q. where did you get your music sheets?
A. for those people who find reading what's inside a blog a bit tiresome and f.y.i... i made every single piano piece/piano score/music sheet in this blog site. I DID NOT and NEVER COPIED any of it from another sheet music or from another arranger/transcriber... I DID NOT edit these piano scores from midi files. i made it all from scratch ( listen to the song and transcribe as i hear/play it ) so, it's all from me ^_^v ( don't even think of copying my transcriptions. don't attempt to claim any of my scores nor attempt to alter / modify it. i know my work! hehe ^_^v )
Q. is it free?
A. yes, it is. i'm not charging anyone for this. just a little THANK YOU comment or RATE the sheets so that i would know if you liked it or not... or you can press the DONATE button below my profile and share some blessings. it'll be added to my piano fund. so basically, that's it! ^_^v
Q. what's the difference between a piano accompaniment and a piano solo arrangement?
A. piano accompaniments are usually the background music that you hear accompanying the soloist in any given song. it's like you have a minus one version of the song notated for any pianists/musicians to play. the sheet music is divided into two parts: one for the voice / melody part and one for the piano accompaniment part. i added the voice / melody part to be used as guide to the accompaniment, especially if you're not familiar with the song that you're playing.
piano solo on the other hand is like the instrumental version of a particular song. the voice / melody part is incorporated to the piano accompaniment. it's like a singing accompaniment. you don't need a singer to perform this type of pieces. this type of arrangement is much easier to do than the piano accompaniment version. as much as possible, my piano accompaniment arrangements are as close as possible to the actual song. songs from this type are just simplified ones, but not to too simple nor too complicated to play.
Q. okay, i've downloaded the sheet music but how will i know if i'm playing it right or if i'm doing the right thing?
A. well, i've provided sample audio/mp3 of the song for each sheet music post entry merely as a guide ( from tempo, dynamics, flow of the song, everything ) since i've based my transcriptions/arrangements from it so you can choose to click/play those songs and compare...
Q. every how often do you update the site with piano scores?
A. it depends. it can vary from a day to even 2-3 weeks depending on the difficulty of the song or my availability. i have a job/work to attend to you know and i'm busy with my other site, my main site actually ( PianistAko ) ^_^ just visit this site every now and then or you can choose to SUBSCRIBE to PianistAkOST or FOLLOW THIS BLOG to alert you with any updates/posts.
Q. i don't know how to read notes but i want to play these music sheets. can you teach me how to read notes and play the piano?
A. well, doing these music sheets alone is very time consuming already. it eats up most of my free time now so, one-on-one tutorials or even video tutorials is impossible for me to do at this moment. however, i'm currently doing an online piano tutorial/lesson where a newbie or anyone who wants to learn how to read notes and play the piano can benefit from it. you can visit my other site for more details PianistAkOnline. the downside is.... most of my explanations there are written using my native language: tagalog. but don't worry there are lots of piano tutorials online. ^_^v
Q. i would like to post/upload these piano music sheets to my website/blog ( or any file server host ) and share it to other people as well. can i do that?
A. well, there's nothing wrong with sharing. actually, that's one of the reasons why i've put up this music blog site... to share these piano scores to all of you BUT if you wish to share my sheet music to others, just create/place the link of my site PianistAkOST instead. since i'm offering all of these for free ( instead of making money out if it ) i think it's fair for me to request to all of you NOT to RE-POST / RE-UPLOAD these piano sheet music. YOU can POST the link but NOT the SHEET MUSIC. respect my copyright. if you want me to continue sharing kdrama / jdrama / tdrama ost music sheets then comply with my TERMS OF USE. if someone asks you where did you get these piano music sheets, tell them. let them download the files here themselves, in a way, my links will not be expired from my file host. it's not convenient for me to change and re-upload files once deleted because of inactivity so pleaseeeeeeee.....
in other words... no re-uploading/re-posting of these music sheets on file hosting/sharing sites like 4shared, ziddu, scribd, etc. etc. etc. ( that also includes sending files thru e-mail )... that's my only request! ^_^v
Q. who are you?
A. who? me? hehe are you sure you wanna know?! ^_^ i told you, i'm just your friendly neighborhood ha! ha! ha!
