I'm Not The Only One — Classic Piano Sheet Music

16 people have learned this song

Read "I'm Not The Only One" by Sam Smith 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 82 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with an oompah bass pattern — your left hand plays a low root note followed by a higher chord chunk, rocking back and forth steadily at 82 BPM.

Start hands-separate and get that left-hand pulse feeling automatic before you layer in the right-hand melody.

Most of your chords sit comfortably in B♭ major, but watch the A major chord — it's the one outsider in the set and often catches beginners off guard because your fingers need to briefly leave home-key shapes.

The move from B♭ to B♭maj7 is just one note shifting, so lean into that small color change rather than rushing past it.

Use gentle sustain pedal, changing it with each new chord to keep the ballad warm without blurring.

If any transition feels bumpy, loop just that two-chord switch slowly until it's smooth.

This is the piece that'll make oompah bass feel like second nature.

About “I'm Not The Only One

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "I'm Not The Only One" 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 Bb, 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 82 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.
