How To Find Easy Piano Songs

By Andrea D. Vacchiano


If you are starting to learn an instrument, you may be getting fed up with the types of music that you have to play in order to strengthen your skills. However, you can branch out and learn other types of music with some effort, and this article may be able to help you find easy piano songs that appeal to your sense of taste.

Before you start looking for music to play, you will need to understand and master the necessary skills for playing the piano. For example, you should know how to read basic notation and you should also know some chords. It will also be helpful to know some scales.

To really solidify the basic skills that your books and other resources teach you about playing this instrument, you should memorize some of the music that is meant for beginners. This will help you practice the skills that have been taught. However, most people are ready to start learning to play the music that they enjoy listening to after mastering a few of these pieces.

To ensure that you are choosing the right musical compositions to learn from your musical collection, you should try to figure out which pieces of music do not sound particularly complex. These compositions may have a slower tempo, consist of only a few chords, and will generally have a simple and easy to follow rhythm that you can easily keep up with when tapping your fingers or your foot to them.

The great thing about understanding notation is that it opens you up to playing tons of different kinds of songs that are meant for all kinds of instruments. For example, there are Beatles songs that consist of a few chords and are very easy to play on the guitar. You can also play these chords on your piano with the same rhythm by reading the music.

Alternatively, you can take a more complex song that you do like and simplify it. If the song has tons of arpeggios that you cannot yet master, for example, you can turn them into chords instead and play them in a manner that still captures the essence of the song. If you have trouble simplifying the music that you like, you can also ask a tutor, teacher, or musically talented friend to help you simplify the music.

There are fun and easy piano songs out there. Start by learning the basics and then try looking online or in stores for sheet music that appeals to you, and remember, you can always simplify music if you need to.
