Star-Spangled Banner
America's National Anthem
Star-Spangled Banner free sheet music for all treble clef instruments in multiple keys, and also with sheets for bass clef and viola clef. And now with a singer's "find-your-pitch" exercise!
Download America's national anthem in seven different keys, and the lyrics for one or all four verses!
NEW ON THIS PAGE is a "Star-Spangled Banner Exercise" sheet that will help your vocal singers find their first few notes, when they have just one tone from a pitch pipe or app to get them started...
Here is what the lead sheet music looks like, with chord symbols.
Please scroll down the page for the download links.
If you want to sing more than just verse one, see the lyrics for all four verses of The Star-Spangled Banner as a downloadable PDF further down this page.
I plan to put up piano accompaniments for the national anthem as well; for now, I hope the chord symbols help.
About the new exercise sheet, for singers, or at least for you voice teachers:
My vocal student will be singing the Star-Spangled Banner in June at some kind of Coast Guard ceremony. The notes and intervals are not a problem for her - what IS AN ISSUE is getting started on the right note!
I suggested she and her mom download some kind of App that will give her the pitch. No problem finding a free app, but when she heard the electronic sound, she FROZE. It wasn't working for her!
So I quickly devised a series of vocal warmups that will help nail that pitch with the electronic app.
Problem solved! I think she just needs lots of repetition with the mental exercise of thinking ahead with the pitches.
Here's what the exercises looked like:
