Ordinary Miracles — Classic Piano Sheet Music
3 people have learned this song
Read "Ordinary Miracles" by Barbra Streisand in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of C. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a beautiful workout for navigating jazz-flavored chord extensions — you'll encounter 9ths, major 7ths, and minor 9ths across a wide spread of key centers, so your hands need to be comfortable reshaping quickly.
Your left hand drives a steady oompah bass pattern throughout, which sounds simple but gets challenging when the harmony slides from C-major territory into flat-key regions like Ebmaj7, Dbmaj7, and Fm7.
Start hands-separate at around 60 BPM, and give your left hand extra time memorizing those bass-note-to-chord jumps through the chromatic passages.
When you put hands together, loop any section where the key center shifts suddenly — that Cm9-to-Bm9 type movement is where most students stumble.
Use the sustain pedal to smooth transitions, but lift cleanly on each new chord so the harmonies don't blur.
At 80 BPM the pace is forgiving, so prioritize clean voice changes over speed.
This is the piece that'll make distant key shifts feel like home.

About “Ordinary Miracles”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Ordinary Miracles"?
- 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 C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Ordinary Miracles" by Barbra Streisand played in?
- Ordinary Miracles is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Ordinary Miracles"?
- The arrangement plays at 80 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Ordinary Miracles" 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 "Ordinary Miracles"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Ordinary Miracles"?
- "Ordinary Miracles" was originally performed by Barbra Streisand. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.

- This arrangement uses 36 chords: A, A7, Ab, Am, Am7, Am9, Bb, Bbm, +28 more.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Ordinary Miracles" 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 C, 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 80 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.
