Forever & Always — Classic Piano Sheet Music
9 people have learned this song
Read "Forever & Always" by Taylor Swift in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of Eb. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 138 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for getting comfortable in the key of E♭, where your hands need to feel at home on those black keys — especially the B♭ and E♭ chord shapes that anchor most of the progression.
Your left hand plays block chords, which sounds straightforward, but at 138 BPM that means clean, quick jumps between six different chord positions with no room to hesitate.
Watch the move into the C major chord — it's the one shape here built entirely on white keys, and paradoxically that shift out of the "flat-key feel" is where most students fumble.
Start at around 70% tempo, hands separate, and loop any four-bar section where you notice a hitch in your left-hand transitions.
Once those are smooth, bring hands together and gradually push the speed up.
The Gm to Gm7 change is just lifting one finger, so use that moment to breathe and reset.
Stick with this one and you'll build real fluency moving through flat-key chords at tempo — a skill that pays off in a huge amount of pop repertoire.

About “Forever & Always”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Forever & Always"?
- 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 Eb. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Forever & Always" by Taylor Swift played in?
- Forever & Always is arranged in the key of Eb on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

- The arrangement plays at 138 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Forever & Always" 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.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Forever & Always" 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 Eb, 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 138 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.
