"Entertainer" is used in a variety of places, from sports cheering songs to movie theme songs.
As the title suggests (entertainer = someone who entertains others), the performance makes people feel happy.
Many piano pieces, especially classical ones, have sad or intense phrases.
However, this song is one that you can play and listen to in a happy state from beginning to end.
In fact, this song was not popular at all when Scott Joplin composed it in 1902.
Arranged by Marvin Hamlisch in 1974, it became popular worldwide as it became the theme song for a movie.
Nowadays, it is a piano song that is loved by a wide range of generations, regardless of age or gender.
Now let me introduce you to the sheet music.
You may hear it played at a relatively fast tempo, but as you can see on YouTube, the original song is played at a slightly slower tempo.
However, when I actually play it, I find it to be more difficult than I expected.
As I did, if you start with the idea that it's going to be easy, you'll end up giving up, so be sure to put your heart into it.

Entertainer Free Sheet Music ① (Do-Re-Mi included)
a melody score that I transcribed for children and beginners who are just starting to play the piano .
Only the first melody of the entertainer is extracted, and the entire song is not covered.
First of all, no matter how hard you try, this score will use the black keys.
Please be careful when playing with flats (♭) and sharps (♯).
Furthermore, the entire keyboard uses more than two octaves.
Even for the same "re", there is a high "re", a middle "re", and a low "re", so be careful not to make any mistakes by looking at the score.
If you play with a smartphone piano app or pianica, please use this.

The next thing I'd like to introduce is sheet music for beginners.
Both the right and left hands are in the bass clef. Be careful not to go into the song thinking that the right hand is the treble clef, as this will result in a messy song.
Although it is played using both hands, chords are omitted at key points and the arrangement is simple, with only a single note.
However, there are some movements with the right hand that are not suitable for beginners.
First, learn the movements with just your right hand, then practice with both hands.

Entertainer free sheet music ③
The last sheet music I will introduce is almost exactly the same as the original.
There are some arrangements to the original song, but I would like to introduce it to you because it was the most enjoyable score to listen to.
Compared to the scores up to ②, there are considerably more chords and more black keys are used.
The difficulty level is a little high, but once you have a firm grasp of the basic melody, it's not that difficult.
Especially when it comes to chords on the right hand, many of them are played by sliding them while keeping the same finger shape.
Once you can play it all the way to the end at a slow tempo, you'll be able to master it quickly.
You can tell by looking at the sheet music, but the problem is that the notes are a little crowded and hard to read.
