About β€œWatch What Happens”

Can I sing "Watch What Happens" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?

What key is the piano accompaniment for "Watch What Happens" by Michel LeGrand in?
The backing track is in Ab at 120 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones β€” the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Watch What Happens" with this accompaniment?
Yes β€” 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 "Watch What Happens"?
Effectively yes β€” it's the piano-only backing for "Watch What Happens", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Watch What Happens" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work β€” the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does β€” 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 "Watch What Happens" to match my voice or capo?

Can I slow "Watch What Happens" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes β€” 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.
