All of Me

The numbers in the first section are for the rhythm impaired. Don't let five flats scare you. It's easy when you think of C and F as your only white keys. The rhythm gets much easier at measure 31.

  • All of Me - Page 1: Contains the first part of the musical piece 'All of Me' with side notes offering insights on playing style and technique.
  • All of Me - Page 2: Continues the musical notation from page 1, detailing further into the piece with rhythmic and stylistic annotations.

Side Notes:

You've probably never played a song like this before. It will have you playing with your forearms, for one thing. That's one reason it's called "All of Me."

Helpul Hints:
Again the numbers in the first section are for the rhythm impaired. As in "Morning Light," I am inviting you to count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 rather than 1 &2 & 3 & 4 &. The rhythm gets much easier at measure 31. (You may start there if you wish.) Don't let five flats scare you. It's easy when you think of C and F as your only white keys. Just lean to the left black key on everything (except C and F, but they don't have black keys to lean to anyway) Level of difficutly: seventh easiest in the book (out of seven, ha ha)

All of Me
Sut is a life-long buddy whose encouragement was a key factor as I was writing this song. [Fav: n.(fav) coll. for favorite; the one preferred]

(Sut's Fav)

Facilitating a rubato yet fanfare-filled feeling is favorable at the first of this fine song
(for a fun definition of rubato find page fifteen minus four)

Using the accents gives this part rhyme and reason. (But get the underlying rhythm in your head first.)
