Q. I am 15 and play a bit of piano, but not good enough to read sheet music to most songs i'd be interested in singing along to. so i do learn chords and have quite a large knowledge of piano chords.
What would you recommend as some good songs to learn the piano chords to sing along to? i am a mezzo soprano.
A. Here some sheets you'll find interesting!!! :)

How to get/make sheet music for a song?
Q. I have looked for ages for piano sheet music for this one song I love. I am not very good and it would be impossible for me to learn by ear. Is there anyway I can somehow use a program to transcribe the song into notes?
A. the technology to do this is pretty complicated. they are working on it. you can look into the program called Melodyne and read their home page. currently, the program can handle only single note sequences. so if you had a flute, or were singing, it would work like a charm. however, they are going to be releasing a new version soon that could pick out the individual notes played simultaneously. so if an artist is strumming the g major chord on a guitar, the program will be able to pick out individually, G, B and D, from there you could transpose a single note, say, make that g major into a gsus4 by moving only that B up to a C, without effecting the G or D.
so, that might be the closest thing to what you're looking for, a program that can pick out all the notes being played.
many times, guitarists will learn to play a piano song and put the tab up on a website. you could search for guitar tabs of the song. if they list the chord names then you could take that and go to the piano and see how it sounds.
How do you convert piano chords into sheet music? Is there some sort of program you can use?
Q. I've played for 8 years, but I only know how to read sheet music, and I don't have time to learn to read chords before i play next. Please help??
A. You mean to say that you can't read chord symbols? Like G7 F#m Bb7(#9) etc?
You've been playing 8 years and you can't do that??!?! No offense, but what have you been learning? Getting by for 8 years without a basic understanding of how music is constructed... I just can't understand that. Do you even know how to play your major scales? If not, learn that... NOW! You're way behind.
If you can play your major scales, it's not that hard to understand how chords are made.

This is a chart of chord formulas I made. My first guitar teacher gave me something like this my second lesson, and it gave me a HUGE leg up on my peers. Actually understanding music is crucial to giving a moving performance. Otherwise what you're doing is no different than someone reading a poem in a language they don't speak.
If you play two octaves of any major scale, number each note on the way up (you really only need to go up to 13 though). Then, to play any type of chord, you just play the notes the formula says. SO a major chord is 1 3 5. In C, this would end up being the notes C E and G. Any combination of C E and G is a C major chord. Some of the chords have alterations to a specific note, for example, a dominant 7th chord is 1 3 5 b7. So you would take the normal 7th, and flat it. In C, this would result in C E G and Bb.
Get it? Good.
That chord chart should give you plenty to work with. Seriously though, playing for 8 years and you couldn't play an F7 if somebody asked? There's something wrong with that... I'm not saying that you've failed, but your teachers have definitely failed you.
