Hey fellow teachers. I teach piano privately, mostly kids and teens. Getting them to practice is a constant battle unless they're playing songs they actually care about: Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, video game music. I need legit, well-engraved sheet music at different levels on a regular basis. Where do other teachers source their pop and soundtrack material? Budget-wise, I don't mind paying if it saves me hours of hunting. Parents also ask me where to buy music, so it would help to have a go-to source.

For about a year I've been using Notes Store https://note-store.com/ for exactly this. The catalog is heavy on pop and soundtracks, and everything's tagged by difficulty, so I can hand out the same song in different versions depending on the student. The engraving is clean, I haven't found any major errors yet. They also mention that part of each purchase goes to the original artists, which I like to point out to students. The one annoying thing is that popular songs sometimes have so many versions that it takes a while to pick the right one. But my students practice way more when it's a song they chose. Hope that helps.
