Can I use your piano music with my students?
copyIf you are a piano teacher and wish to use OllysPianoSheets sheet music with your students, it makes sense to subscribe to the OllysPianoSheets.com Teachers' Club.

The option for teachers is to either...

1) Make multiple purchases of the same piece for each of their students. This means that a teacher effectively gives their purchase to a particular student so the student can use it for his or her personal use in their lesson, or to practice with at home etc.  For example, a teacher might purchase the 'Jingle Bells' sheet music five times to give to five of their students. As you can imagine, this approach can get pricey and time-consuming.

... or...

2) By joining the Teachers' Club, a teacher receives a blanket studio licence, giving them permission to copy, distribute and use their sheet music purchases with as many of their students as they wish (as long as their licence is current - please log in to check).
Please note that for publishing and copyright reasons the Teachers' Club studio licence does not apply to hard copy books. This means that it remains illegal to photocopy any part of OllysPianoSheets hard copy books without permission.

Added benefits of subscribing to our Teachers' Club is a 50% discount on all sheet music, a 20% discount on books and permission to sell purchased OllysPianoSheets.com pieces on to students at the current recommended website price.

Can I perform your music in public?
Performing in publicYes! If you would like to perform any of the music or backing tracks in public, for example at a music festival - no problem, please go right ahead as long as you credit Olly Wedgwood as the composer.

If you get a chance, it would be great to hear about your performance - do drop Olly a line or leave a comment on the sheet music's page.

Purchasing Piano Music

Is there somewhere I can see a sample of the music?

Absolutely! First navigate to your chosen piano piece by clicking a title from the Shop. On the next page, there should be a picture of the music that you can click to open a preview sample.

I've purchased some sheet music but haven't received an email?
Monthly OllysPianoSheets.com NewsletterSometimes OllysPianoSheets.com emails get filtered into your spam folder...

-

What happens if I'm not happy with my purchase - can I get a refund?
Unfortunately due to the nature of digital product downloads I am generally unable to offer a refund unless the download is not as described on the product page. This is the norm for most digital product websites. However, if you are at all dissatisfied with your sheet music download, please get in touch.
-
When I purchase a duet, will I get both primo and secondo parts?
Absolutely! The download link you receive will be a PDF file which contains both the PRIMO and SECONDO parts for the duet.

Unless otherwise mentioned, duets are graded for the primo player, so in piano lessons the secondo is usually played by the teacher. On the other hand, more experienced students can always have a go at the secondo as well!

Are your books available in digital format?
All OllysPianoSheets books are available in both hard copy format (with digital mp3 downloads from a link in each book) and also in digital format on the Tido app (in the Educational Piano section).

Popular Arrangements

Do you have arrangements of popular piano sheet music?
Piano Sheet Music for Free and PurchaseTo sell or distribute arrangements of copyrighted songs or popular music legally requires a licence from the original publisher. As a small independent composer and publisher, I cannot yet afford to do that... so that's the reason why you won't find piano arrangements of Lady Gaga, Queen... etc. on OllysPianoSheets.com.

However, some music is out of copyright (such as Silent Night) - so you'll find a few of those arrangements on the site.
