Star of the County Down for Singers
What a lively and beautiful Irish song Star of the County Down is! Some pieces of music seem to spread like wildfire through a group of musicians, and this free vocal sheet music will do that with your students too. If you want to hear --and see! -- a fun rendition of this song, complete with fiddle, pipes, and drums, see the "Orthodox Celts" perform "Star of the County Down" on the YouTube video below. Vigorous, humorous, and very musical, my students and I have watched this video many times!
Here is page 1 of Star of the County Down (don't worry, page 2 is included in the PDF!)
Download printable free vocal sheet music Star of the County Down If you want to hear --and see! -- a fun rendition of this song, complete with fiddle, pipes, and drums, look up "Orthodox Celts" + "Star of the County Down" on YouTube. Vigorous, humorous, and very musical, my students and I have watched this video many times! When I have a really terrific piece like this that is also a song, I usually end up giving it to my pianists, guitarists, and singers alike. They all benefit, and frequently end up playing it together. I have to thank a local fiddle and guitar teacher named Dan for introducing local musicians to this great piece! You'll thank him too.

Amber:Thank you! THANK YOU!!! For keeping the beautiful art of Opera alive! I stumbled upon this site and I'm so happy I did!
Toni:
Thank you for your wonderful website. I also teach piano, voice and guitar - spooky! My absolute passion is opera, and have opened many a singing student's ear to the beautiful melodies and voices in the repertoire. Thank you for the wonderful warmups which I have downloaded, and will be using at the earliest opportunity - I will let you know how they go! Looking forward to more warmup ideas, too.
Danielle:
What a lovely, generous site! Many thanks from a fellow singer and music teacher in New York State. Loved the inclusion of the video for "The Ash Grove," a song I just recommended to an adult voice student today. I was pleased to be able to send her the link to not only the sheet music, but a charming performance of the song as well.
Marybeth:

Wynn:
Thank you so much for this site. I admire you so much for taking the time to reach out and share so much with others. After years of singing professionally I am finally making myself re-learn the piano in order to play for myself and to do some piano bar work. Your scales and your feedback are inspiring! Create Beauty and fill the world with LOVE!
Marta:
Thank you for the free downloads! I'm a private teacher and I teach piano and beginner voice as well. :) I've been running my studio for about a year and I've come across the same issue; I don't want my students to have to purchase an entire supplemental book for only a couple of songs. So thank you for this site...some great downloads!!
Stasi:
AH!!!!! I am so happy to find a helpful site like this. I started to give piano lessons to one little girl from church and two girls requested voice lessons this spring. Since then, word got out and going into the fall I have 18 students. I am so excited, but I'm running out of materials that they can borrow, and I, like you hate telling the parents to buy morebooks. Because I have such a diverse group of students I spend SO much time making supplemental material and I feel like I have to pick through other websites, to only find one or two useful things. I am so thankful for the wealth of supplement that you have offered here! And it's all SO user friendly!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
