Still — Classic Piano Sheet Music
18 people have learned this song
Read "Still" by The Commodores in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of C. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build comfort with seventh chords — your right hand will cycle through Am7, Dm7, Fmaj7, Cmaj7, and several G and C voicings, so take a moment before you play to find each shape and notice how many share common tones.
Your left hand follows an oompah bass pattern: root on the beat, chord on the "and," steady and unhurried at 100 BPM.
Practice that left hand alone first until it feels automatic, because the real challenge is keeping it smooth when your right hand shifts between shapes.
Watch the move into Bb — it's the one chord outside the key of C and tends to catch people off guard, so loop that bar a few times.
Use gentle sustain pedal, lifting on each new chord change to keep the melancholic mood warm but not muddy.
By the end, you'll have eleven chord shapes under your fingers — that's a serious vocabulary win.

About “Still”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Still"?
- 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 C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Still" by The Commodores played in?
- Still is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Still"?
- The arrangement plays at 100 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Still" 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 "Still"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Still"?
- "Still" was originally performed by The Commodores. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "Still"?
- This arrangement uses 11 chords: Am7, Bb, C, C7, C9, Cmaj7, Dm7, Fmaj7, +3 more.

- Try "BRICK HOUSE", "EASY", "SAIL ON". 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 — "Still" 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.
