One Way Or Another — Classic Piano Sheet Music
17 people have learned this song
Read "One Way Or Another" by Blondie in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of A. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 168 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for left-hand independence — you've got a walking bass line at 168 BPM, which means your left hand needs to stay steady and almost autopilot-confident while your right hand handles the chord hits.
Most of your chords here are power shapes (root-fifth voicings like Apow, F#pow, Bpow), so the fingering is consistent, but the quick jumps between G#pow and Apow or C#pow and Dpow will catch you off guard if you haven't drilled them slowly first.
Start your left hand alone at around 100 BPM and build up in increments of ten — the walking pattern needs to feel effortless before you layer the right hand on top.
Watch the transition from F# major to the power chords especially; the fuller shape shifting to a leaner voicing trips people up rhythmically.
Once this clicks, you'll have real confidence driving a fast rock groove with a steady, independent bass line underneath — that's a skill that transfers to dozens of songs.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "One Way Or Another" 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 A, 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 168 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.
