Hey y'all. I was curious if anyone could point me in the right direction. Im looking for piano sheet music for Images and Words specifically Another Day. Im taking a singing class and the pianist has difficulty reading and converting guitar tabs. I saw the Jordan Rudess DT Keyboard "anthology" listed up for sale on Amazon only had piano sheet music for 15 songs none of them are Another Day. I would also prefer Kevin Moore's version if possible and not a re-write by Jordan because their styles are so extremely different. Does this even exist? Every google and bing search is fruitless. I have no idea how to convert guitar tabs to a piano. Any help would be appreciated!

The answer to your specific question is, I have no idea.  And I doubt anyone else here does either.  But all hope is not lost.  These are obviously unofficial, but here is a "sheet music instructional video" I found on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBOI1OuT7K0&start_radio=1&list=RDJBOI1OuT7K0

These two piano cover videos look good too (first one is probably better for your purposes):

Hope that helps.

As long as you have the right chord progression everything should be fine. Those videos Bosk shared are useful, if not just get the chord progression and your pianist should be able to follow along. If not, this site might be useful

A Japanese company called Shinko (these full scores are often Japanese) brought out a Full Score book for Images and Words back in the day.  I have it and just had a look - the piano music is generally under "Other" in the score.

Not sure about a release specific to keys.

I can arrange something up for you no problem. What would be a comfortable key for you to sing it in? The original is in G#-minor/E-major and the range is from E3-E5 and it hovers above B4 a lot. Can you hit everything there without straining or discomfort, or should I transpose it down?
