Where can I find labelled piano sheet music?

I'm looking for a big songbook or website with some beginner popular piano songs with all of the notes displayed properly on the musical lines (i forgot the name sorry haha) however I would like the notes to be labelled.

Do you know of any websites or big beginner songbooks that show music like this?

    By the time you find these - are there will not be many to choose from - you can quit whining and actually LEARN TO READ MUSIC. I taught the developmentally and intellectually challenged for years - THEY learned. So get the music you want, and YOU write in the notes - until you do not need to anymore.

    are you talking about the notation where the letter name is actually written in the notehead?

    other answer is right. this is not really the best way to learn because it teaches you to ignore the real way to read music, which is actually way more logical than just reading note names.

    but if you'll only do it this way, you probably want something like the hal leonard "E-Z play today" series: http://www.halleonard.com/search/search.do?seriesf...

    p.s.

    the set of 5 lines that the music is written on is called a "staff". classical piano music is usually written on two of them connected together called a "grand staff".

    other styles of music sometimes only have a single melody line with chord symbols written above it, that style of notation is called a "lead sheet".

    Just express your emotions through piano and try to find your style of playing, don't copy anybody else because that is not you!

    First of all, please abandon those dreadful letter note thingies and learn to read sheet music properly already from the start! Letters NEVER tell you which C to play, they NEVER tell you how the rhythms go, and they NEVER tell you anything about the dynamics of the piece! As three-year-olds can and DO learn to read sheet music, I do not see ANY reasons why you could NOT learn that skill as well.

    Furthermore, as this music is COPYRIGHTED, it means that ALL sorts of fan-made tabs, tutorials, letter/number note thingies, sheet music scans and transcripts are not only ILLEGAL, but also very often both INCORRECT and INCOMPLETE. Having no money/credit card is never an excuse to breach the copyright laws anyway, so please either buy the sheet music or borrow it from the library.
