I'm assuming you mean performing them, rather than putting up pictures of the sheet music. If it's the former, you're fine. YouTube is a member of BMI and ASCAP. If it's a song in the public domain then you're free to go and it doesn't matter.
If you're actually displaying the sheet music, then yes, you do. They own the copyright to *that* and so you will need to get them to sign off on it.
