What is a Lead Sheet?
Lead sheets include a melody, chord symbols, and lyrics (when applicable), giving you the musical framework without prescribing every note. They’re designed to help musicians think, listen, and create—rather than just follow.
Why Use Lead Sheets?
Lead sheets are incredibly versatile tools for building real-world piano skills. They support:
🎵 Harmony & chord awareness
👀 Sight reading and score reading flexibility
🎹 Improvisation and creative exploration
🔁 Transposition and playing in multiple keys
👂 Ear training and musical independence
Whether you play exactly what’s written or make it your own, lead sheets invite active musicianship at the piano (plus, they're FUN!).
