This page shows “Funny Girl” by Barbra Streisand in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of D at 72 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for your jazz chord vocabulary — at 72 BPM you have breathing room, but with 34 distinct chords including diminished, augmented, and ninth shapes, your left hand needs to know where it's going before it gets there. Start hands-separate and spend real time on the left hand alone, because block bass patterns only sound confident when the shapes are memorized, not searched for. Watch especially for the pedal-tone sections (where the bass note holds while chords shift above it) and the diminished passing chords like Bdim7 and Fdim7 — these are the spots where most students hesitate and break the groove. Loop any two-bar phrase that links a standard major chord to one of those chromatic surprises until the transition feels automatic. The playful mood depends on rhythmic ease, and ease comes from repetition. This is the piece that'll make extended jazz chords feel like home under your fingers.
