Hi, I am Rita. I transcribe piano sheets for popular music. All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics (singing is good for health) and harmonic chords.

I consider reasonable requests.

Sometimes I post free files, don't miss them (sort my uploads by price)!

“Older”

Imitate the vocal delivery by Lizzy McAlpine or it won't sound as the song. The vocal melody is semi-improvised and loosely organized with pitch inflections (slurred notes). All inflected notes should be played very quietly. Accent strong beats softly.

In Lizzy McAlpine's singing there are many murky places of an indefinite pitch. I notated it as a current harmony root or fifth note.

A predominant vocal style is legato. Use a lot of pedaling.

Notice portamento (or slide) up in the bars 28 and 72. The arpeggios is soft and barely should be heard. The symbol r.h. in the bar 31 means "right hand", you play the upper note with your right hand because it is impossible to reach with the left hand.

"Older" is played with a rubato (free) rhythm in compound time 9/12. Triple meter is hard to count for beginners; count outloud One-two-three One-two-three One-two-three. The duplets (bars 30, 35 and so on) mean that instead of three notes per beat there is only two, one note in a duplet equal to a dotted eight note. Practice slowly along with the recording.

To keep listeners attention, the chorus of "Older" was made to be the biggest part of the song. I colored it blue for your convenience: it is easier to learn a piece of music when you have a mental scheme of it. Play every part differently, as expressively as possible. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.

"Older" is transcribed in the original key, A Flat Major, and uses basic major and minor chords E♭ A♭ Gm and nonharmonic A♭m Cm D♭.

A chord change creates a meaningful harmonic progression.
