Before starting to play All of Me, we will first of all quickly go over the basics of the piano and learn how to find our way around a keyboard. To do this, we invite you to look at the following image:
The name of the notes on a piano keyboard.
The image above shows us all the keys on a piano keyboard and the notes associated with them (C, D, E, F, G, A, B).
The objective is to observe first the structure of the keys and the notes. As you can see, the keys do not all follow each other in a similar way. In fact, the black keys work in groups of two and three successive keys. It is the black keys that are our visual cue to find our way around the keyboard.
For example, if you are looking for the note C, you will first look at the black keys and look for a group of two. Once identified, press the white key just to the left of the group of two black keys: your C is here!
Practice quickly recognizing the notes on a piano keyboard. Once you know them by heart, you’ll be able to follow this tutorial on how to play the notes of All of Me on the piano much more easily.
Now let’s get to the heart of the matter. We always start by teaching the melody of a song first before learning the accompaniment. Usually the melody is played with the right hand. So we will start by playing All of Me with the right hand. Let’s start this tutorial by building on what we discussed in the previous section of the article to identify the first note to play with your right hand. These are the notes E and B:
E and B are the first notes of the right hand in the song All of Me on piano.
Did you find the notes E and B? Great!
Now we’ll play the whole sequence of notes that make up the melody of the song. Press the following notes in succession:
E+B – E+B – E+B – E+C – E+C – E+C – D+B – D+B – D+B – D+A – D+A – D+A – B – A – B – B – B – B – B – B – G – G – A – B – B – B – A – B – B – A – G – G – E – E – B – B – C – B – G – C – B – G – G – A – B – A – E – B – B – B – B – A – B – B – A – G – G – B – B – B – D – C – B – B – A – G – G – E – B – B – C – B – G – G – C – C – B – G – G – A – B – A – C – A – E – D – C – B – B – A – G – G – A# – E – D – E – B – C – E – E – D – D – C – B – B – A – A – G – A – D – B – D – B – E – B – A – G – B – B – B – A – A – A – G – A – E – B – B – A – A – A – G – A – A – B – B – D – B – E – B – E – B – A – G – B – B – B – A – A – A – G – A – E – B – B – A – A – A – G – A – A – B – B – C – D – G – F# – E – D – B – B – D – B – A – B – B – C – D – G – F# – E – D – B – B – B – A – B – A – B – B – B – B – B – B – G – G – A – B – B – B – A – B – B – A – G – G – E – E – B – B – C – B – G – C – B – G – G – A – B – A – E – B – B – B – B – A – B – B – A – G – G – B – B – B – D – C – B – B – A – G – G – E – B – B – C – B – G – G – C – C – B – G – G – F – B – A – C – A – E – D – C – B – B – A – G – G – F# – E – D – E – B – C – E – E – D – D – C – B – B – A – A – G – A – D – B – D – B – E – B – A – G – B – B – B – A – A – A – G – A – E – B – B – A – A – A – G – A – A – B – B – D – B – E – B – E – B – A – G – B – B – B – A – A – A – G – A – E – B – B – A – A – A – G – A – A – B – B – C – D – G – F# – E – D – B – B – D – B – A – B – B – C – D – G – F# – E – D – B – B – B – A – B – D – G – F# – E – D – C – B – A – E – D – C – G – F# – E – E – D – D – C – B – B – A – A – E – D – C – G – F# – F# – E – D – D – A – B – D – B – E – B – A – G – B – B – B – A – A – A – G – A – E – B – B – B – A – A – A – G – A – A – B – B – D – B – E – B – E – B – A – G – B – B – B – A – A – A – G – A – E – B – B – A – A – A – G – A – A – B – B – C – D – G – F# – E – D – B – B – D – B – A – B – B – C – D – G – F# – E – D – B – B – B – C – D – G – A – F# – G – E – D – B – B – B – B – C – D – G – F# – E – D – B – B – B – A.
To get the melody of the All of Me music, you need to play all these notes in a row with your right hand.
Practice playing this sequence of notes several times in a row until you feel comfortable with it and your playing becomes more and more fluid and you master the various sequences. Then you can start playing the left hand of the song on the piano.

Congratulations! You now know how to play this popular song on the piano with your two separate hands!
Now let’s move on to the next step: playing it with both hands simultaneously on the keyboard.
Learning to separate your hands on the piano is one of the most complicated exercises for anyone new to the instrument. Our brain is not used to processing information in such a precise and coordinated way. Hand dissociation is therefore an exercise that takes time to master.
To accelerate your ease on the subject, we invite you to follow our practical method. This method consists in proceeding by short sequence of a few seconds on the song. Take for example the first 5 seconds of the song you are working on. First practice playing the right hand notes during those first 5 seconds. Once you have mastered the sequence, play the left hand notes on the same passage. When you are also comfortable with the left hand, play both hands at the same time. Once you know how to play those first 5 seconds with both hands at the same time, move on to the next 5 second sequence and repeat the same method.
As you go along, you will learn the new note sequences more and more quickly because your brain will be used to this methodology.
All of Me on the piano: the notes of both hands.
This ultimate video shows you the notes of the music to play with both hands at the same time on your keyboard. Look carefully at the different tempos and coordination of the notes in both hands. Sometimes some of them have to be played at the same time. Other times, they will need to be played one after the other.
You can also pause the video as the notes arrive on the virtual keyboard. This will give you time to reposition your fingers on your piano and play the notes at the right time.
Note: on the La Touche Musicale learning app, you don’t need to pause the piece. The app is interactive and waits for you to play the right notes.
