Tina Turner Hits for Piano

If you’re inspired to play some music by the late “Queen of Rock N Roll” on the piano, we have quite a collection for you!

We’ve got many of Tina Turner’s best hits available in a variety of levels for pianists of all skill levels.

1. "What’s Love Got to Do With It"

Beginner Notes

This Beginner Notes arrangement is perfect for someone who is pretty new to the piano. The notation is in a larger print, and the note names are printed on each note to help you read them quickly. It is written in lead sheet format, which means that only the right hand or treble clef notes are notated. There are chord symbols above the staff, giving you the option to play single bass notes or a chord with the left hand. Or, you could omit the left hand completely and just play the melody.

Easy

This John Brimhall arrangement is simplified so to a range of notes that is easy to read and play. It’s just three pages long and focuses on the familiar melodic material, rather than instrumental riffs.

Early Intermediate

This arrangement by Richard Bradley includes a nice transcription of the instrumental introduction. It’s a bit longer at six pages, but still written in a range and format suitable for less experienced pianists.

Intermediate

This intermediate arrangement comes from Jennifer Eklund. If you'd like to hear the song, you can check out Jennifer's performance here.

2. "The Best"

Easy

This arrangement from Simply Piano is pared-down to the melody in the right hand with some thin harmony parts in the left hand.

Simply Piano has two other arrangements that build on this one:
Find the intermediate one here and the pre-advanced version here.

Late Intermediate

This is a beautiful piano solo arrangement by the Bozhyk Duo. It takes the best melody moments of the song and makes it work in a way that is lyrical with just enough percussive energy.

3. "Proud Mary"

Beginner Notes

Here’s a Beginner Notes arrangement that’s just two pages long. This version is great for beginners who aren’t confident reading the notes on the grand staff yet. It will teach you the melody and offer chord suggestions if you want to add in some left hand.

Easy

This easier arrangement usually has a 2-note chord in the right hand accompanied by a left-hand bass line. It’s four pages long and in the key of C.

Intermediate

This arrangement is just two pages long, a little more complex than the other arrangements. The right hand keeps the melody in the upper note and hangs chords below that melody line. The left hand has a driving quarter-note beat throughout the song.

4. "We Don’t Need Another Hero"

Intermediate

This arrangement from Sheet Music Boss is a well-written piano solo with a fun arpeggiated left hand pattern. It starts out with a pretty thin texture, but by the end, the right hand has big, full chords.

5. "Let’s Stay Together"

Beginner Notes

This arrangement in lead sheet format will work well if you want to focus on playing the right hand melodic line. There are chord symbols included if you’d like to add some basic left hand chords or play the left hand improvisationally.

Easy

This arrangement from Simply Piano keeps all of the notes in a small, manageable range and includes a lot of helpful fingerings.

Late Intermediate

This lovely arrangement from HDPiano definitely requires more advanced reading and technical skills as it includes bigger chords, rolled chords, grace notes and more complex rhythms. The end result is a beautiful piano solo that captures all of the best melodic, rhythmic and harmonic parts of this song.

6. "Private Dancer"

Intermediate

Here’s another beautiful, soloistic arrangement by Dietmar Steinhauer. It includes flowing, arpeggiated left hand lines, nicely-voiced chords and interesting rhythms.

7. "River Deep Mountain High"

Easy

Here’s an easy arrangement based on the Glee performance. The right hand is often moving in 6ths or 3rds while the left hand plays a single note bass line. It’s seven pages long, which will probably feel like a lot for a newer pianist.

Advanced

This arrangement from My Sheet Music Transcriptions is exciting and energetic! It requires excellent piano technique to play fast octave runs, large chords, tremolos and complex rhythms.

8. "Shake a Tail Feather"

Advanced

This arrangement from Sheet Music Boss is best suited for an experienced pianist who is familiar with the boogie-woogie style. It includes a lot of syncopated rhythms and each hand has to sync up while playing independent lines.

9. "Darlin’ You Know I Love You"

Intermediate

This is a lovely arrangement by Phillip Keveren. It’s just two pages long, but the key signature, chords and rhythms require a strong reader and player.
