Make Me Feel — Classic Piano Sheet Music
25 people have learned this song
Read "Make Me Feel" by Janelle Monae in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of G. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 116 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with energetic pop-rock rhythm at 116 BPM while keeping the note reading manageable.
Your left hand drives the groove with an octave bass pattern — keep those octaves steady and even, because they're the engine of the whole feel.
Your right hand will cycle through seven chords, most of which sit naturally under your fingers, but watch the move into Edim and C7: those chromatic color chords can trip you up if you're not anticipating them.
I'd suggest learning the chord progression hands-separate first, especially drilling the G to Edim and C to C7 transitions until they feel automatic.
Then bring hands together at around 80 BPM before pushing toward full tempo.
The trickiest stumbling point is usually syncopation — this song wants you to land slightly ahead of where you'd expect, so tap along with the count before you play.
Once the groove clicks, resist the urge to rush; lock into that bass pulse and let the rhythm carry you.
This is the piece that'll make chromatic chord moves like diminished shapes feel like second nature in a pop context.

- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Make Me Feel"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature G. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Make Me Feel" 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 G, 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 116 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.
