Two Birds — Classic Piano Sheet Music
11 people have learned this song
Read "Two Birds" by Regina Spektor 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 155 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with a pedal bass — your left hand will anchor on a repeated or sustained note while your right hand moves through the chord changes above it.
That steady left hand is your foundation, so practice it alone first until it feels automatic.
The chord palette here is richer than most easy pieces: you'll encounter borrowed chords like Fm and Bdim7 sitting right next to familiar shapes like C and G.
Isolate those transitions — especially moving into and out of Bdim7 — and loop them slowly before bringing the tempo up toward 155 BPM.
Watch your E7 to Am resolution; land that minor chord cleanly and the melancholic mood clicks into place.
Once the pedal bass feels effortless, you'll notice your hands start to feel independent of each other, and that's a skill you'll carry into everything you play next.

About “Two Birds”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Two Birds"?
- 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 "Two Birds" by Regina Spektor played in?
- Two Birds is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Two Birds" 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 155 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.
