Possibility — Classic Piano Sheet Music
68 people have learned this song
Read "Possibility" by Lykke Li 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 60 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to develop your sense of expressive, slow playing — which is honestly harder than it sounds.
At 60 BPM with just four chords (G, C, Em, Am), the technical demands are low, but the musical challenge is real: every note has space around it, so uneven timing or clumsy transitions will stand out.
Your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern, meaning you'll often sustain or repeat a single low note while your right hand moves through the melody above it.
Start hands-separate and really lock in that left-hand pulse before combining.
The trickiest moment for most students is the shift between Am and C — keep your fingers close to the keys and move the whole hand shape rather than reaching finger by finger.
Once you're comfortable, add sustain pedal sparingly to enhance the melancholic feel without muddying the sound.
Lift and re-press the pedal cleanly on each chord change.
This is the kind of piece that trains you to play slowly with control and intention, a skill that makes everything else you learn sound more polished.

About “Possibility”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Possibility"?
- 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.
- What key is "Possibility" by Lykke Li played in?
- Possibility is arranged in the key of G on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Possibility"?
- The arrangement plays at 60 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Possibility" easy to play on piano?
- Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
- Can I download sheet music for "Possibility"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Possibility"?
- "Possibility" was originally performed by Lykke Li. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "Possibility"?
- This arrangement uses 4 chords: Am, C, Em, G. Only a handful of chords — beginner-friendly.
- What other songs by Lykke Li can I play here?
- Try "I Follow Rivers", "I Follow Rivers", "Possibility". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Possibility" 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 60 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.
