Music Box Dancer, note-for-note piano
For those of us old enough to remember- this tune was a hit in the early 80s. It is one of a rare handful of instrumental tunes to ever chart on the Billboard Top 40.
There are several versions of this tune available in sheet music, and several videos on TH-cam. None of these, I believe, are completely accurate. Most have been simplified in some way or another to make it easier to play. But these end up sounding repetitive.
I believe the key to this tune's beauty and longevity is in the subtle details in the way the pattern never truly repeats itself. But, most versions of this tune omit these details.
I've done my best to reproduce here, note-for-note, the exact arrangement Frank Mills played, alongside his recording. You can use the left-right balance control on your speakers to favour piano or the recording.
It is followed by a reprise of the full figure, slowed to 92 BPM.
Thanks for watching!

I am absolutely so addicted to this piece of music can listen to it all day long. Frank Mills is a legend and a master in piano music .
The most beautiful song ever❤
WoW I can only think of one Word For your instrumental performance. Great 😊
Beautifully played 😢
You've done quite a job figuring this out. Is your version of sheet music available?
Beautifully done, thank you. Takes me back to my first job in 1979 when I was 18. Great to see it preserved properly on YT. All the very best from Sydney Australia.
Beautiful. I recently learned a simple version of this song. 🎹 👍
Good player

Incredible player! I aspire to play this beautiful piece!
Love it
Hey, what’s with the D flat scoring? Maybe it doesn’t make it any harder, just seems like it should. Good job. 😃
What a classic!! Reminds me of the 80s!! and you nailed it!! Thanks for slowing it down so I can figure it out. I almost got the right hand down but now have to work on my left hand. LOL! Thanks bro!!
Great Greetings From Super Extremes- Sri Lanka 💚 💛 ❤ 💙 💜 Thusitha Thanthirige
you play it so good i lisen to you every night i love the way you play it you are in credople
This is the best, consistent, flowing version I've heard to date..this guy plays it well..cudos. badass
Nice 2023
Nice!!! and Prefect.
Finally! Somebody in the right key! Thanks for this. Can't tell you how hard it is finding this version. It seems everyone out there is afraid of sharp notes! lol (EDIT ADDIN) Btw, lets not forget this guy has the backing track and everything most likely arranged instrument one by one by him! I wonder if you would be wiling to do a more current video, in some form of tutorial and with better quality video. I have been trying to learn this song for a very special personal reason, and can't find any sheet music in C#, nor any good tutorials in this key. I don't know how to read and play at the same time. i learn by watching others and their fingers on each notes, 1 by 1, or by ear. I keep seeing different versions of the left hand. Yours seems to be the legit one, just as Frank Mills plays it. If it weren't for old 70s video quality of him, I already would have learned it pieced together from different shows lol. I think you should do an updated video and a tutorial, for those that want to learn, maybe using Synthesia Screen and you playing the real piano in the same shot, like some Synthesia videos out there. Also, if you connect Synthesia to your keyboard and just play this song, and hit record in Synthesia, you just automatically created the BEST midi version that you can save and upload to the Midi community. Then all someone has to do is find that Midi file, download it, bring it into Synthesia, the software will teach you the notes and how to play exactly the same.
와 기막히네요 최고
This piece of music i can just listen to all day long its absolutely so beautiful That I never get tired of it. Sir you are amazing so beautiful playing looove the way you play. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting. I play this in the key of C.
❤❤❤
I see that’s a Roland electric piano. But which model is it?
Hi, ich bin Sissi... Seit ich denken kann, spiele ich dieses Lied. Ich begann mit 12 Jahren Orgel zu lernen, jetzt bin ich 51 und spiele eine Wersi Atlantis sn3. Und all die Jahre, seit ich ein Kind war, begleitet mich der music box dancer. Du bringst mich gerade zum weinen, danke für den schönen Musikmoment. Herzlichst ein Musikkollegengruss Sissi 🎹🎹🎹
Oh I LOVE this tune !!! BEAUTIFUL
This brings me such joy! I am a concert pianist and would like to purchase the score from you if you have written it down. Thank you for this lovely video. Really lovely!
In fact, if you don’t have the score but would like to sell it or pass it around (with the proper permission, of course) then send me a very slow version with the camera directly above the fingers so I can see exactly what you are doing, and I will copy it down and make an edition for you so that the score will exist. What do you think? It would take me about 45 mins to achieve this.
Did you ever get the score? - I did ask on here a few months back ( even just pointing in the right direction to a score ) but I've never heard anything. I am learning piano ( used to play many years back) and really want to play this. Pipe dream at the moment as I'm a way off grade wise but you need to challenge yourself! @@michaelharvey702
I never get tired of great music !!
I still love this song so much. It was when i was a teenager that Frank Mills was tearing up the airways with this. We lived near Springfield Missouri and listened to KTTS The Radio Ranch. Precious precious memories flood my mind when I hear this.
Post more if you see this comment!
Anyone got a link to buying the sheet music for this please as I really want to learn this piece but there's a LOT of choices out there - thanks
Amazing ❤
Good job! I remember in '79 i think when this first came out on radio at my place of work, i was mesmerized!

Bravo! Bravo!
Wonderful.
Man, would you please transcribe this? Please?
I also play by ear but if I had the writien music I would get the idea of the sound better in my head and then could play it
Please put more out....love your style.
In the 'more' up there he stated many versions. Isn't there sheet music for the original version on piano
Pretty accurate sheet music exists for this piece, but not in the key of C# / Db. It was published in the key of C to make it easier, but it just doesn't sound the same. I just started working on this piece again and am going to learn to play it in the proper key.
Sensational, extraordinary , great interpretación of song at Robert Mills
Love it
Mind blowing to me how pianists can have one hand carry a bass line while the right hand is carrying a completely separate melody. I’d kill to be able to play this on the piano one day for my mom and dad.
I love that tune music box dancer
Es un playa back de piano
I am learning this now. nowhere near this level, but I'll get there.
