You Raise Me Up β Classic Piano Sheet Music
4 people have learned this song
Read "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban in classic piano notation β 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 66 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with a simple but powerful chord set β D, G, Bm, and A β while your left hand works an octave bass pattern that gives the song its quiet depth.
At 66 BPM you have plenty of time to think, so use that breathing room to land each chord change cleanly rather than rushing ahead.
The transition from G to Bm is the one most students fumble first; isolate that two-chord shift and loop it slowly until your fingers know the reach.
Start hands-separate: get the left-hand octaves feeling steady and relaxed before layering in the right-hand melody.
When you put hands together, watch that you don't tense your wrists during the held notes β let the sustain pedal do the work, pressing it fresh with each chord change so the harmonies stay clear.
This is the kind of piece that rewards smooth, connected playing over speed, and by the end you'll have a rock-solid feel for the IβIVβviβV progression that shows up everywhere in pop music.

- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?

- 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.
