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 it!

“Packing It Up”

The track is transcribed in the original key, D Major, and mainly uses the tonic chord with different bass notes creating a walking-bass pattern under repeated guitar strumming. The chorus uses the only non-tonic chord, the subdominant G with submediant B as a bass note.

The vocals are typed using a 𝄠 suboctave clef (the treble clef with the numeral 8 below it). Nevertheless, play at written pitch because Abrams' singing clashes with guitar strumming in many places. Sing one octave lower.

“Packing It Up” is composed with a syncopated rhythm in quadruple time 12/8. It's very hard to count and memorize.

Learn the left hand first and avoid learning both hands together in the very beginning. Patience is a virtue. Otherwise you will fail immediately and abandon the score.

The left-hand texture is thick and makes great use of ostinato that is 100 % repeats the original guitar strumming in the track. The easy version has the simplified left-hand part but is boring to play.

The right hand imitates vocal delivery by Gracie Abrams: a predominant articulation is staccato.

There are many places of an indefinite pitch in the beginning of sentences.

The aesthetic value of a track suffers due to lack of originality.
