Let Me Down Slowly — Classic Piano Sheet Music
113 people have learned this song
Read "Let Me Down Slowly" by Alec Benjamin in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of E. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 74 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with block chords in the key of E, where your left hand will sit comfortably around shapes like C#m, G#m, A, and B for most of the song.
The block bass pattern keeps your left hand steady—no fancy arpeggios—so focus on clean, even transitions between chord shapes.
Watch out for that C major chord: it's borrowed from outside the key and will feel like a surprising hand shift, so isolate any passage containing it and loop it slowly until the move feels automatic.
The B6 voicing is another one to drill on its own before playing through.
At 74 BPM you have breathing room, but don't rush—start even slower, hands separate, and lock in the rhythm before combining.
This is the piece that'll make your minor-chord transitions in sharp keys feel second nature.

- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?

- 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.
