A pril gave us (Cmaj7)spring time,
and a prom ise of the (C)flow ers;
and a feel ing that we (F)both shared,
and a love that we called (G7)ours.
And we knew no time for (C)sad ness,
that’s a road we each had (C)crossed.
And we were liv ing a time (Dm7)meant for us,
and e ven when it would rain, we’d (C)laugh it off.
And I’ve got piec es of (Em7)A pril
that I keep in a (G7)mem o ry bou (C)quet.
I’ve got piec es of A pril,
and it’s a (G7)morn ing in (C)May.
We stood on the crest of (Cmaj7)sum mer,
be neath an oak of blos somed (C)green;
feel in’ as I did in (F)A pril;
not real ly know in’ just what it (G7)means.
But it must be then that stands be (C)side me now,
to make me feel this (C)way;
just as I did in (Dm7)A pril,
and it’s a morn ing in (C)May.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Pieces Of April" 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 C, 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 100 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.
