Our House — Classic Piano Sheet Music
3 people have learned this song
Read "Our House" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of A. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build comfort with seventh-chord shapes in your right hand — Bm7 and F#m7 both ask you to spread across four notes cleanly, so spend a minute just landing each shape from the air until it feels automatic.
Your left hand keeps a steady block bass pattern, which sounds simple but demands consistent timing at 120 BPM; practice it alone with a metronome until it feels boring, then add the right hand.
Watch the move from D to D6 closely — it's only one note changing, but rushing it smudges the peaceful quality of the whole phrase.
The trickiest moment is the shift to that F chord, which lives outside the key of A and can catch your fingers off guard; loop the bar before it and the bar after until the transition is smooth and confident.
Once you nail that F, you'll have a real feel for how borrowed chords add emotional color — a skill that pays off in dozens of songs ahead.

About “Our House”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Our House"?
- 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 A. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Our House" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young played in?
- Our House is arranged in the key of A on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Our House"?
- The arrangement plays at 120 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Our House" 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 "Our House"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Our House"?
- "Our House" was originally performed by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "Our House"?
- This arrangement uses 6 chords: A, Bm7, D, D6, F, F#m7.
- What other songs by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young can I play here?
- Try "WOODEN SHIPS", "TEACH YOUR CHILDREN", "Our House". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Our House" 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 A, 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 120 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.
