Left hand Rolling wavesRight hand Wake-and-run chordsChords the loop the song repeats most

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 Team without reading music. The left hand plays rolling waves (open arpeggio 1-5-10-5) and the right hand wake-and-run chords.

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 Team

What are the letter notes for the Team 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 Cm – Bb – Cm – Ab, so the letters repeat with the chords.

What chords are in Team?

The loop is Cm – Bb – Cm – Ab (vi – V – vi – IV) in Eb major, and the song ends on Ab – Bb – Eb.

What key is Team in?

Eb major, at about 102 beats a minute in 4/4.

What does the left hand play in Team?

Rolling waves: open arpeggio 1-5-10-5, a medium pattern. It follows the chords, so the same shape works for every bar.

Is Team 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.
