About “Easy Living”

Can I sing "Easy Living" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "Easy Living" on screen a line at a time and lights up each word in time, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word and the chord shown just above. The piano backing plays underneath in A, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Easy Living" by Billie Holiday in?
The backing track is in A at 120 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Easy Living" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Easy Living"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Easy Living", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Easy Living" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Easy Living"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Easy Living"?
"Easy Living" was originally performed by Billie Holiday. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by Billie Holiday are available?

Is there a karaoke version of "Easy Living" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Easy Living" by Billie Holiday. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Easy Living" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in A, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Easy Living" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
