Where can I find Sheet Music for the song “Holiday in Cambodia” by the Dead Kennedy’s?

Lloyd G asked:


I am working on a project in school, and I would like to look at the arrangement for this particular song. I'm doing an indepth study of Punk Rock, and I picked this song to research because I feel it touches on a lot of the subjects that Punk tends to focus on. It also has that hard/fast/loud sound that I feel typifies Punk. Anyway, I need the sheet music, for all instruments, and guitar tabs are useless to me, because I know how to read music, and I don't need tabs. It would be great if I could get a score of all the instruments, but I haven't had n e luck finding that. Anything would be a big help, thanks a lot.
I can read music, but I can't write it. Even if I could, the melody is pretty complex. I tried sites like Musicnotes.com, they offer the guitar part, and tabs, but nothing else. I'd like to get all the parts in written format (Vocals, Guitar1, Guitar2, Bass and Percussion.)

How to sight read and play piano at the same time ?

SUPerTie asked:


i tried to sight read, but i'm slow at it, and i also have another problem, how will i be able to place my fingers on the correct key to play the notes if i can sight read fast enough, i mean my pair of eyes can only look at either the sheet music or the keys on the piano,one at at time, if i sight read then how am i gonna know which keys to press out of the 88 keys or if i look down just for a sec or two , wouldnt i lose track of where i am at on the sheet music and ended up pausing the songs by a few seconds here and there?

I remember some1 telling me that i should be playin the bass cleft several times and try to memorize it and then play the treble cleft several times and try to memorize, then put it together and play the whole song. but it's not workin i suck at memory, i mean i could remember some but forget some part, it is extremely slow and is this even the right method if it takes u a month to learn a song this way?
how does pianist sight read and play at the same time?

Question about reading piano music?

Marie K asked:


Okay there's a song I've been learning to play and they key signature is: B flat & E Flat.

However, I've reached a part in the song that you play an F with a sharp..and I'm just wondering do you play the rest of the F's with sharps or do you just play it for that ONE note?

I was telling my mom about this amazing music video that takes place in Africa, with a couple of kids falling in love in the backdrop of war/violence, and spending their money on books and reading. I cannot remember who sings the song or what the title is, help please?
