My Piano Is Out of Tune (Elementary Piano Solo)

by Bernadine Johnson

ELEMENTARY PIANO SOLO

“My Piano Is Out of Tune” by Bernadine Johnson is a delightful elementary piano solo that blends humor with early musicianship. Students will love singing the playful lyrics about a piano that just won’t stay in tune, all while strengthening essential early-level skills.

Musical concepts include A tempo, crescendo, diminuendo, fermatas, 8va, F-sharp, five-finger patterns, hands-together playing, and intervals of 2nds and 5ths. Written in C major and triple meter, the piece offers excellent practice in staccato touch and finger independence, especially reinforcing fingers 4 and 5.

With its multiple five-finger patterns, clear structure, and expressive phrasing, “My Piano Is Out of Tune” helps young pianists develop control, coordination, and musical expression—all while having fun!
