Sheet Music Plus
Gives Gamers the Gift of Music with Offerings from Rock Band,
Guitar Hero, and More
As music-driven
video games continue to explode in popularity, video games and music
are entwined now more than ever. The leading
Guitar Hero
and Rock
Band franchises have surpassed more than a combined
$3 billion in sales creating a revival in the classic rock that
defined the music 20 years ago with gamers of all ages now rocking
out to bands like Queen, Rolling Stones and the Beatles.
Sheet Music Plus, the nation’s leading online provider of sheet
music, wants to help gamers channel their passion into becoming
active musicians. Whether it’s for
Rock Band,
Rock Band
2,
Guitar Hero,
Guitar
Hero 2 or
Guitar Hero III:
Legends of Rock, Sheet Music Plus has the sheet music
they need to graduate from rocking in front of the TV to rocking the
stage.
“Today’s kids
often get more exposure to music from video games and movies than
from any other source, and it would be great if this gaming trend
can be a gateway back to learning to play live music,” said Keith
Cerny, CEO of Sheet Music Plus. “By offering up sheet music for the
songs they are exposed to via these blockbuster gaming titles, there
is an incentive for them to try their hand at actually performing
these extremely popular tunes.”
Hal Leonard, the
world’s largest music print publisher, provides Sheet Music Plus
with much of the sheet music for these video games, with most of the
offerings being available for the whole gamut of traditional
instruments, such as drums, guitar, clarinet, flute, trumpet, horn,
violin, and piano, among many others. To view these titles or to
