A gem of a ballad and one of the most beloved Disney songs.

The moving melody and the beautiful accompaniment that supports it are perfect for piano performance.

Someday My Prince Will Come, sung by Snow White as she dreams of a prince on a white horse in the film Snow White, is unusual among Disney songs in that it’s often performed with jazz arrangements.

Many jazz pianists play it at concerts and in bars.

Of course, it’s also performed in arrangements close to the original, and it’s very popular among adult beginners learning piano! Keep a relaxed tempo, cherish each note, and savor the harmonic shifts as you play.

Once you’re comfortable, try adding some jazz-style improvisation to your performance!
