UPDATED July 1, 2014
Due to popular demand, I have added the second half to complete the entire song. Click on the sample score (i.e. the image of the first page shown below) to get all six pages. Feedback welcome! This is a free download.
Which comes first – the music or the movie? I’ve yet to see the animated movie “Frozen” but the song “Let It Go” has become all but too familiar.
In fact, it has become so popular that a traffic reporter decided to write and sing his own parody of it. Huffington Post reported this awhile ago, with a video of his rendition. And here’s another one of when it’s not okay to let it go with “let it go” scenes from different movies. And if you like Star Trek, here’s a clever version for you — “Make It So”
Should you decide to find the sheet music, you’re in luck. There are numerous arrangements for all levels of players. If the original key of F minor (with four flats) is daunting, try taking it down half step to my version with one sharp.
My arrangement is currently being tested by a young lady in Palo Alto. I played piano at her parents’ wedding many years ago, but I’ve yet to meet her. In mid-June, I taught a seven-year old boy how to play the lefthand of the first three pages while his nine-year old sister sang along in McClellanville, South Carolina.
My students, of course, got a surprise for their mid-term — to apply music theory questions to my three-page arrangement (of the first part of the song).
The new version (uploaded on July 1st, 2014) is the complete six pages — obtained by clicking on the sample first page below.
Here’s a version with lyrics you could karaoke to (note the original key is half a step higher than the easy piano version).
There are plenty of links to web pages with full lyrics to this song.
If you would like to support such arrangements for easy piano, please order a CD of my piano solos or help spread the word.
You might be wondering why I bothered to add rehearsal marks (A, B, C, D, etc) to this arrangement. I tell my students to study by sections – little chunks at a time. As I conduct my piano classes as ensembles, it’s also easier to find the section by calling out A, B, C etc. The next step, if I don’t get tired of this song, is to write a piano duet arrangement. Now won’t that be fun!
UPDATE @ 8th April 2018
I’m so pleased to see YouTube recordings of my arrangement of “Let It Go” with credits to me. Many thanks!
I have to say, we tried to sing it during our “Oscar Winners” Jam Session in our ukulele club, but it is so very difficult for adults to sing at such a high range. We’d have to transpose to a key that’s more suitable for adults to sing. Transposing is just one of many skills we need to get the best out of our music making. I am scheduled to give a session on “Transpose to Compose” at the annual ukulele melee festival in Hamilton, MA.
UPDATE @24 June 2022
After eight years of making my arrangement freely available and not receiving the reciprocation through my CD sales, I’ve removed the 6-page PDF. However, I do want to thank those of you who recorded yourselves and made your YouTube videos freely available. I have logged them into a special YouTube Video Playlist of my arrangements. Thank you.
Did you know 23rd June 2022 was National Let It Go Day? Watch this video recording of 3 Chord Thursday Let It Go.

I have searched internet for hours and your Let it Go piano sheet is the best I can find for us beginners. I especially love that you also put the lyrics in the sheet. That is really helpful for us to figure out where are we at and if it sounds right. Thank you so much for posting this. Could you please finish the whole song? Your current version only covers the 1st part. We’d really appreciate it!
Thank you, Cindy. Happy to finish the song when I have time, not sure when. You can help by supporting this project through purchase of our CDs on http://www.cdbaby.com search for Anne Ku or Bekkers Piano Guitar Duo and help clear our inventory so we can make time.

I usually don’t leave comments but I feel compelled to today. Thank you so much for this version of Let It Go. My 6 year old loves the song and this is a perfect way to motivate her to keep at it with the piano practice! This will make piano practice much more enjoyable for the both of us! Thanks, again.
Thank you, Susan. I always wonder who finds my music, who uses it, who likes it. As one of my students has chosen it for her final solo performance, I am compelled to finish it when I find the time. Enjoy!
I agree, GREAT VERSION! But would also really love it if you finished the song….
Thank you so much for this. I’ve search all around for a easy version and this is the best! Thanks once again! 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m a keyboard instructor in the Reno, NV and surrounding area and will be happy to share this with a beginner student of mine who wants to learn the song. I support your music fully. Hoping to record a recital event in the next couple months, if they are able to do it I will credit you anywhere I share (we’ll probably only make it through a page)
Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks, Nathan. When I discover or get informed about recordings of my arrangements, I add them to this playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLd1dAV0InDOMHxAv21Gw8nPRPJLTIoRk
