Beauty And The Beast β Classic Piano Sheet Music
50 people have learned this song
Read "Beauty And The Beast" by Alan Menken in classic piano notation β both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of G. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a lovely way to develop smooth chord transitions in your left hand β you'll move through nine different chords, but the walking bass pattern gives you a steady, predictable rhythm to anchor against, so lean into that consistency.
At 80 BPM you have breathing room, but watch the shift from Dsus4 to D7: that suspension wants to resolve cleanly, so practice lifting just the one finger rather than reshaping your whole hand.
The Am7-to-D7 movement comes up often and is worth drilling on its own until it feels automatic.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first, getting the walking bass comfortable before layering in the melody.
Once you put them together, keep your tempo honest β no speeding up during easy stretches.
Use light pedal to connect the longer melodic phrases, but change it with each new bass note so things don't blur.
This piece will genuinely solidify your ability to voice seventh chords smoothly, a skill you'll use in everything from jazz to pop ballads going forward.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes β "Beauty And The Beast" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature G, time signature, beams, dynamics β everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view β the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes β slow the tempo from 80 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes β Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
