I Forgot To Remember To Forget — Classic Piano Sheet Music
8 people have learned this song
Read "I Forgot To Remember To Forget" by Elvis Presley in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of Bb. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with an oompah bass pattern in your left hand — you'll alternate between a low root note and a higher chord chunk in a steady boom-chah rhythm at 120 BPM, which feels like a relaxed walking pace.
Your right hand carries a smooth, vocal-style melody mostly in stepwise motion, so the real challenge isn't the notes themselves but keeping both hands independent and steady.
Watch the transitions into the seventh chords — Bb to Bb7, F to F7, and C to C7 each add just one note, but your fingers need to find that lowered tone without hesitating.
I'd suggest practicing your left-hand oompah pattern alone first until it feels automatic, then layer in the melody at half tempo.
Loop the spots where the chord changes come on an off-beat, because that's where most students rush.
Once this clicks, you'll have a solid foundation for any song that uses a bass-and-chord comping pattern — that skill transfers everywhere.

Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.

- 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.
