About “Easy”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Easy"?
- 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.
- What key is "Easy" by The Commodores played in?
- Easy is arranged in the key of Ab on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Easy"?
- The arrangement plays at 70 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Easy" easy to play on piano?
- This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
- Can I download sheet music for "Easy"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Easy"?
- "Easy" was originally performed by The Commodores. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "Easy"?
- This arrangement uses 11 chords: Ab, Bbm, Bbm7, Cb, Cm, Cm7, Db, Ebm7, +3 more.
- What other songs by The Commodores can I play here?
- Try "BRICK HOUSE", "SAIL ON", "THREE TIMES A LADY". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Easy" 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 70 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.
