You Are Not Alone — Classic Piano Sheet Music
162 people have learned this song
Read "You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of B. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 64 BPM.
This arrangement sits in the key of B major at a gentle 64 BPM, which sounds forgiving until you realize your hands are navigating twenty-two distinct chords — including chromatic detours like Gmaj7, Ab7, and Bbm7 that briefly pull you far from home.
Your left hand carries an octave bass pattern throughout, so start by drilling those octave jumps until they feel automatic and even.
Then learn the right-hand chord shapes in isolation, paying special attention to the minor-seventh voicings (C#m7, Ebm7, G#m7) since they cluster together in transitions and your fingers need to already know the shape before you arrive.
Practice the trickiest two-bar progressions in a slow loop — especially where dominant sevenths resolve unexpectedly — before playing full sections.
Keep your sustain pedal changes clean; at this tempo, muddy pedaling is instantly exposed.
This is the piece that will make seventh-chord movement feel like second nature to you.

- Yes — "You Are Not Alone" 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 B, 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 64 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.
