Home — Classic Piano Sheet Music
84 people have learned this song
Read "Home" by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros 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 112 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build your Alberti bass confidence — your left hand will cycle through broken-chord patterns almost continuously at 112 BPM, so start hands-separate and slow it down to around 80 until that rolling motion feels automatic.
The seven chords here mostly sit in the key of D, but watch for the C major — it's borrowed from outside the key and will catch your fingers off guard if you're on autopilot, so isolate any passage where G moves to C or C resolves back to D and loop it until the hand shift is smooth.
The A7 adds a nice color change; make sure you voice that G natural cleanly without accidentally muting the neighboring note.
For your right hand, the melody is largely stepwise and singable, which means your real challenge is locking it rhythmically against the Alberti pattern underneath — count out loud if the hands drift apart.
Once both hands sync comfortably at tempo, add light sustain pedal on chord changes to warm the sound without blurring the bass.
This is the piece that'll make Alberti bass feel like second nature, and every pop and rock song you learn after this will benefit from it.

About “Home”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Home"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature D. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Home" by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros played in?
- Home is arranged in the key of D on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Home"?
- The arrangement plays at 112 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Home" easy to play on piano?
- This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
- Can I download sheet music for "Home"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Home"?
- "Home" was originally performed by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "Home"?
- This arrangement uses 7 chords: A, A7, Bm, C, D, Em, G.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Home" 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 112 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.
