| I really want to learn how to play this song on piano, unfortunately I can't find tutorials sheet music anywhere... Does anyone know where I could find them for free or does anyone know how to play it and would send the sheet music to me? |

There are a number of sites that sell sheet music, none of which I'll link since I've not used them. Just do a google/yahoo/bing search on 'copland rodeo piano music'. ------------- Can you tell me where we're headin'? Lincoln County Road or Armageddon. |

| You should go to the nearest university with a music department. Go to the music library and ask for a piano reduction of the piece. Incidentally, Hoedown is part of a larger ballet called Rodeo, you may need to get the whole ballet in order to get Hoedown. |

If you are a trained pianist, I'd stay as far away from MIDI- based notation as possible. It will only make you angry as you try to learn from it. You could maybe (and only maybe as its based on the skills of the person who played it into the sequencer) get a close "idea" of the piece from that file but you'll have to make scads of corrections and work large chunks of fit out for yourself. And no MIDI-Based notation will have phrasing, dynamics or any other typical score markings you might want or need. If you don't mind doing that by all means give it a try, if you really want accurate sheet music, go to the library. Again, you'll need to find a piano reduction of the full orchestral score. The version that is most commonly available through sheet music outles is an arrangement for violin and piano with the violin taking the melodic parts which probably would satisfy your needs. MIDI notation = crap notation Why can't we have a "red circle with a line through it" emticon??

You could be suprised by some MIDI notation quality. I have seen MIDI files written perfectly. They are mostly useful for solos, and it's true that most of them need reworking. Still better than nothing... ------------- https://soundcloud.com/why-music Prog trio, from ambiant to violence https://soundcloud.com/m0n0-film Film music and production projects https://soundcloud.com/fadisaliba (almost) everything else |

| I would personally go with the midi idea, the're never perfect in terms of articulation and phrasing etc, but really music notation only needs to be perfect in those respects if youve never heard the piece before, im sure your fine with how hoedown should sound. |

| It may be a matter of perception. I teach MIDI applications and computer notation at a university and I have NEVER seen a page of MIDI notation that was remotely acceptable. |

You must have high standards... I stopped using MIDI a long time ago, but I remember having a few ones well written from Dream Theater (!). I guess it really depends on the person who made the file. ------------- https://soundcloud.com/why-music Prog trio, from ambiant to violence https://soundcloud.com/m0n0-film Film music and production projects https://soundcloud.com/fadisaliba (almost) everything else |

You could always work it out by ear? I did it with ease, it's really not that much. It rarely ventures out of the D Major scale.
