Funny Girl — Classic Piano Sheet Music

7 people have learned this song

Read "Funny Girl" by Barbra Streisand in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of D. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 72 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

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.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Funny Girl" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 72 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
