He is the pirate.Hans Zimmer/Klaus Badelt

[With Sheet Music] He’s a Pirate / Pirates of the Caribbean (Piano Solo – Intermediate) [Piano Arrangement Sheet Music] Pirates of the Caribbean – He’s a Pirate
He is the pirate.Hans Zimmer/Klaus Badelt

The theme song from the film Pirates of the Caribbean, which portrays fearless pirates sailing the seas.

Many people were surely captivated by the cool charisma of Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp.

To master on piano the overwhelmingly impactful melody that everyone has heard at least once, it’s important to articulate the rhythm clearly and play with a clean tone.

Additionally, firmly observing rests and creating clear spaces of silence—rather than blurring them—is key to recreating the original’s tension.

Try experimenting with pedaling as you perform.

Feel the loveElton John

Disney Peaceful Piano – Can You Feel the Love Tonight (Audio Only)
Feel the loveElton John

Among Disney songs, this one is especially popular and well-known as a classic choice for weddings.

It’s a song from the film The Lion King.

As you can tell from the fact that Elton John, who composed it, performs it as a piano-and-vocal piece, it pairs exceptionally well with the piano and can fully convey its world even without vocals.

True to its title, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, play it with a mellow tone while savoring the atmosphere that evokes deep affection for someone special.

Be careful not to rush the sixteenth notes that connect the melodic phrases—try to play each note with care.

Let It GoKristen Anderson-Lopez/Robert Lopez

Let It Go / from Disney’s Frozen (Piano Solo – Intermediate) [with Sheet Music] “Frozen” – Let It Go
Let It GoKristen Anderson-Lopez/Robert Lopez

A song from the 2013 film Frozen, which sparked a “Frozen craze” around the world.

Vividly portraying the Snow Queen Elsa’s loneliness and strength, this piece captured many hearts and became a long-running hit alongside the movie.

Its catchy, striking melody sticks in your head after just one listen—you’ll find yourself humming “Let it go” without thinking! The rhythm may seem complex, but if you don’t get too tied to the sheet music and instead practice with the mindset of “recreating that melody in your head,” you might be surprised at how well you can play it.

Enjoy the world of Frozen on the piano!

Part of Your WorldAlan Menken

The Little Mermaid - Part of Your World – I tried playing it – Piano – CANACANA
Part of Your WorldAlan Menken

Part of Your World, sung by Ariel, the protagonist of the film The Little Mermaid.

This beautiful and moving song is filled with Ariel’s longing for the human world, despite being born a mermaid.

The key to the piece is the left-hand accompaniment that quietly flows beneath the graceful melody, like the movement of waves.

To play the continuous sixteenth notes in the left hand accurately, careful practice with each hand separately is essential.

It may feel difficult, but once the accompaniment is played cleanly, the piece is nearly complete! Keep practicing steadily, and try expressing Ariel’s beautiful underwater world on the piano.

Friend Like MeAlan Menken

Aladdin – Friend Like Me – Piano Cover – CANACANA
Friend Like MeAlan Menken

A powerful, upbeat piece that seems to capture in music the comedic charm of Genie, the lamp’s spirit from the movie Aladdin! Thanks to its lively, crowd-pleasing pop feel, it’s frequently performed by wind ensembles and orchestras.

In the original, Genie’s dialogue takes up much of the track, so the piano arrangement’s melody inevitably becomes quite intricate.

However, if you play it lightly with a humming-like feel, you’ll likely find it easier to perform than the complex notation suggests.

There are also beginner- and intermediate-friendly scores composed of a single melody line with simple accompaniment, so why not enjoy playing it with the sheet music that suits you best?

For the First Time in ForeverKristen Anderson-Lopez/Robert Lopez

Among the songs from the film Frozen, For the First Time in Forever—sung by the queen’s sister, Anna—rivals Let It Go in popularity.

The call-and-response between Elsa and Anna in the latter half is incredibly moving, isn’t it? Because the piece makes extensive use of syncopated rhythms throughout, many people may find it difficult when first reading the score.

However, since many patterns repeat, you should be able to overcome this with persistent practice.

Being able to perform Elsa’s and Anna’s vocal lines simultaneously by yourself is something only the piano—capable of playing multiple voices at once—can truly offer! Sheet music is available at beginner and intermediate levels, so try starting at a level that feels comfortable.

Under the SeaAlan Menken

[With Sheet Music] Under the Sea / from Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” (Advanced Piano Solo) [Piano Arrangement Sheet Music] The Little Mermaid – Under the Sea
Under the SeaAlan Menken

In the 1989 film The Little Mermaid, Sebastian—the court composer crab tasked with keeping an eye on Ariel—sings Under the Sea.

The scene where Sebastian belts out, “The surface world? No way! There’s no place as wonderful as under the sea,” to the land-curious Ariel is especially memorable.

Its distinctive, intricate rhythms can be tricky to grasp, but the vocal range is relatively narrow, so once you master the rhythm, you should be able to play it! It’s also a great idea to practice clapping or tapping the rhythm separately from playing.
