The accompaniment with every note named, bar by bar: the bar sheet shows each note as a bar on the staff with its letter inside, so you can accompany Music without reading music. The left hand plays bumblebee buzz (broken chord 1-3) and the right hand heartbeat chords.
The main tune of Music in letter notes
The real notes from a score, both hands, bar by bar. R is the right hand, L the left; C4 is middle C.
Music accompaniment in letter notes
The E – A – B – A loop with bumblebee buzz in the left hand and heartbeat chords in the right. Notes struck together are joined with a plus; C4 is middle C.
How to read the bar sheet
The player above shows the treble staff (right hand) over the bass staff (left hand). Every note is a bar as long as it sounds, at its place on the staff, with its name inside, and the music scrolls past a line that marks now. The chord names run along the top.
Start with the left hand alone at a slow speed, then the right, then both. When the letters feel easy, try the sheet music.

Questions about Music
What are the letter notes for the Music piano accompaniment?
Bar by bar, both hands: the bar sheet on this page names every note of the accompaniment (C4 is middle C) and plays along. The loop is E – A – B – A, so the letters repeat with the chords.
What chords are in Music?
The loop is E – A – B – A (I – IV – V – IV) in E major, and the song ends on A – B – E.
What key is Music in?
E major, at about 80 beats a minute in 4/4.
What does the left hand play in Music?
Bumblebee buzz: broken chord 1-3, a medium pattern. It follows the chords, so the same shape works for every bar.
Is Music easy to play on piano?
It is a medium one: learn the 4 chords as blocks first, then add the left hand, then the right, slowly.
Can I hear the real melody of Music?
Yes: "The part you know" plays the main tune of the song from a score, with both hands.
Made from one arrangement of this song: the left and right hands are the patterns these scores repeat most.
