Fallin' — Classic Piano Sheet Music

16 people have learned this song

Read "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys in classic piano notation — 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 135 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build your left-hand independence thanks to that Alberti bass pattern running underneath four expressive chords — Em, Bm7, C, and B7.

At 135 BPM the Alberti figuration moves quickly, so start hands-separate at around 90 BPM and really lock in that broken-chord shape before layering in your right hand.

The trickiest moment is the shift from C back to B7: your left hand has to reposition fast while your right hand sustains the melody, so loop just that two-bar transition until it feels automatic.

Watch the Bm7-to-B7 change too — it's only one note of difference, but rushing it will blur the melancholic color that makes the whole song work.

Use a light sustain pedal on chord changes to keep things smooth without muddying the bass, lifting cleanly each time the harmony moves.

Once you can play the full progression at tempo with a steady Alberti pattern and confident chord switches, you'll have a real foundation for any R&B or soul ballad that asks your hands to do two different things at once.

About “Fallin'

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Fallin'"?
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 G. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys played in?
Fallin' is arranged in the key of G on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Fallin'"?
The arrangement plays at 135 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Fallin'" 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 "Fallin'"?

What other songs by Alicia Keys can I play here?
Try "AS I AM", "DE NOVO ADAGIO (INTRO)", "TEARS ALWAYS WIN". 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 — "Fallin'" 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 — 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 135 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.
