I Will Always Love You — Classic Piano Sheet Music
18 people have learned this song
Read "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of Db. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 120 BPM.
This arrangement sits in Db major, so your hands will live mostly on black keys — get comfortable with that terrain before you speed up.
Your left hand uses a pedal bass pattern, meaning you'll anchor on one low note while the harmony shifts above it, which sounds gorgeous but demands independent hands, so practice them separately first.
With fifteen chords including Bbm7, Cm7, and Ebmaj7, the trickiest moments are the transitions between extended shapes — particularly moving from Cm7 to Dbmaj7 and navigating the key-change passages where chords like F, C, and Gm suddenly appear under your fingers.
Loop those modulation sections at half tempo until the new hand positions feel automatic.
At 120 BPM the ballad phrasing is spacious, so resist rushing; let each chord breathe.
This is the piece that will genuinely solidify your confidence with major seventh voicings and smooth chromatic chord movement.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "I Will Always Love You" 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 Db, 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 120 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.
