Get It Together — Classic Piano Sheet Music
9 people have learned this song
Read "Get It Together" by India.Arie in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of A. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for your chord vocabulary — sixteen distinct shapes including major sevenths, minor sevenths, and that ear-catching Aaug, so your right hand will be stretching into extended voicings like Bbmaj9 and C9 that demand precise finger placement.
Your left hand follows an octave bass pattern throughout, which sounds simple but requires steady independence while your right hand navigates all those chord changes.
At 100 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the real challenge is keeping your rhythm locked in during transitions between distantly related chords — moving from, say, Gm7 to E7 means reshaping your hand quickly without rushing the beat.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first, then looping the sections where the chord density is highest until the shapes feel automatic.
Slow the tempo to 70 BPM for those trouble spots and only speed up once transitions are smooth.
By the end, you'll have a genuinely solid grip on seventh-chord voicings that will carry you through dozens of R&B tunes.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Get It Together" 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 A, 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 100 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.
