Being With You — Classic Piano Sheet Music
4 people have learned this song
Read "Being With You" by Smokey Robinson in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of Ab. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 95 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with major seventh and minor seventh chord shapes in the key of Ab — your left hand holds block bass notes while your right hand voices chords like Abmaj7, Ebmaj7, Cm7, and Fm7, so you'll build real fluency moving between those jazzy shapes.
At 95 BPM it's gentle enough to think ahead, but watch the transition from Gm or Gm7 into Abmaj7 — that jump catches people off guard, so isolate it and loop it slowly until the hand shift feels automatic.
Start hands-separate: lock in the left-hand bass pattern first since it's steady blocks, then layer in the right-hand voicings.
Once you combine them, resist the urge to rush through chord changes; sit in each shape and let the ballad breathe.
This is the song that'll make seventh chords feel like home under your fingers.

About “Being With You”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Being With You"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature Ab. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Being With You" 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 Ab, time signature, beams, dynamics — 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 — 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 — slow the tempo from 95 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 — 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.
