Hi, I am Rita. I transcribe piano sheet music since 2007. All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics (singing is good for health). Please, request any popular song in any genre and language.

"Rockstar"

It is a duo for piano and voice because the rap part is so simple, anyone, even a beginner, can rap it while playing the piano after several practice sessions. The piano part basically transcripts the whole instrumental track that you can hear in the song. You can play the vocal part in the right hand if you don't want to sing.

If you can't play the instrumental part, play two simple notes: C and D-flat in the left hand. This way it will be a very simple beginner-level version.

A predominant vocal style is *tenuto* while piano should be played staccato.

The rap is built on repetition of one note so focus on precise rhythm. It might be tiring to play with forte touch; play pianissimo.

Rap is of an indefinite pitch. I notated them as a harmonic note C.

"Rockstar" is composed with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats.

The structure is unusual. It has several repeated in chaotic order choruses and one verse in the middle of the track.

Composition:

• 00:10 Gold teeth (hook)
• 00:24 Been on a mission (pre-hook)
• 00:38 Gold teeth (hook)
• 00:51 Drop
• 00:58 Verse
• 01:11 Been on a mission (pre-hook)
• 01:25 Gold teeth (hook)
• 01:52 Drop (coda)

"Rockstar" is an atonal piece (it means it has no sub/dominant) but is centered around the C tone. I have no idea what the mode is used, probably something like Super-Locrian or Ultraphrygian scale of C Minor key.

Only two harmonic chords were used: *Cm and D♭.* It slides down to B♭m in the last measures.

Notice the ellipsis (omitted chords) in the measures 18, 30.

The aesthetic value of a track is based on unconventional tonal behavior made familiar through repetition.

The track enlists simultaneously as songwriters two my favorite composers (Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and Delacey) but I can't say I would expect such a track from a Tedder and Delacey collaboration.

Of course I consider filling your *requests* of sheet music except for not popular tracks.
