My Piano is Out of Tune

by Bernadine Johnson

ELEMENTARY PIANO SOLO

My Piano Is Out of Tune by Bernadine Johnson is a delightful elementary piano solo that combines humor and musicianship. Students will enjoy singing the playful lyrics about a piano that just won’t stay in tune, while developing important early piano skills. Musical concepts include A Tempo, Crescendo, Diminuendo, Fermatas, 8va, F-sharp, Five-Finger Patterns, Hands Together playing, Intervals of a 2nd and 5th, and Triple Meter. The piece is written in C Major and offers excellent practice in staccato touch and finger independence, especially strengthening fingers 4 and 5. With its multiple five-finger patterns and expressive phrasing, this piece helps young pianists develop control, coordination, and musical expression — all while having fun!
