You Get What You Give — Classic Piano Sheet Music
11 people have learned this song
Read "You Get What You Give" by New Radicals in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of D. 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 fantastic workout for your extended chord vocabulary — you'll move through fifteen different shapes including Bm9, Gmaj9, and Dmaj7, which means your right hand needs to be comfortable stretching beyond basic triads.
At 100 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the real challenge is nailing those transitions cleanly, especially moving between the color chords like Am7 and Asus4 where only one note shifts but your fingers want to rebuild from scratch.
Start hands-separate: get your left hand's block bass pattern steady and automatic first, then layer in the right-hand voicings.
Once you combine them, loop the verse progression slowly until the chord changes feel like muscle memory, not mental math.
Watch the spots where you jump from F#m7 to G — that's a quick positional shift that trips people up if you're not anticipating it a beat early.
This is the song that'll make extended chords feel like home in your hands, so lean into those jazzy shapes and trust your ears.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?

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.
