Why is Big Note Piano Sheet Music Only Available for Easy Piano?  

I'm not sure exactly how much extra pages would add to the cost if you think about the cost of paper. But I was just thinking of the smaller books that have maybe 100 songs or even just 50 or even 25. Those wouldn't cost much more to produce in big note instead. The big note piano books for beginners don't generally cost excessive amounts.

I definitely agree though that certain pieces would be a lot easier if they were more easily seen for learning purposes. Once you've memorized the piece, seeing it small and just looking at the shape of the notes is fine. But for learning, it's hard.

I don't think actually converting something to big notes would be hard at all. They'd just have to enlarge it before printing. But yeah, I agree it would take up more pages (or require bigger pages). It would be nice if at least a few books were available though, even like you say, with just the major works in them.

I've been reading music for over 15 years now. It's pretty easy for me. I'm just saying it would be a whole lot easier if I have to read 2 lines at once, to read something in big print.

I'm also visually impaired, but that doesn't mean you should compare me to a toddler at music, that's kind of rude. I'm good with music and good at reading it. But seeing 2 lines at once is hard so I usually have to memorize one line if it's not in big note form.

I mean, I cannot actually see the treble clef and the bass clef simultaneously. If I could see them, I could certainly read them. But I have Irlen syndrome which causes me to not be able to read more than 1 word (5 letters) at a time. And unfortunately, that also affects music.

Big note books help a little bit because even though only a small part is clear, the notes are big enough that I can see them if they are blurry/shaky/moving/flashing/etc.

As far as ability to play 2 lines together, for sure I have that. Once I memorize one line of the piece, I can play it. I can also do things like play 2 instruments at once, such as harmonica and autoharp. Which would also require reading 2 lines normally. So it's definitely not lack of ability (I'm not saying I'm a virtuoso, I probably only play piano at a 5th year student's level or so), but just the size of the music notes and my eye problems.

As far as children's books, I also basically stopped enjoying reading at 3rd grade when the print got smaller. Now I finally got the joy of reading back through audiobooks.

I understand. Well, I think the only way is using some computer software (or even just a piece of paper and a pencil) and rewrite your favourite pieces with bigger notes so you can read them easily. I know, it's not the easiest and most pleasant thing to do, but I think this is the only option you have.
Or you can download PDF sheet music and print it at a bigger size... I don't know, just wondering.

I do that sometimes. I also tend to copy pieces of music that are in books and go more than 2 pages, so that I don't have to pause to flip pages. If it's regular paper and not in a book, I have a tape method for flipping pages easily that I developed down in an orchestra pit. :)

Yes, one day maybe all music stands will become electrical or computerized (though that could hurt our eyes, reading music off of copmuter screens). But that way we'll never have to turn pages. I can imagine it happening though there's be many flaws for the first several years (even in the middle of big concerts we're in!). ;o)
