Twinkle twinkle little star is an old favorite for kids and adults. The melody is quite simple to memorize because of it’s repetitive features. You can play this song in many keys, but I’ve found that keeping it to a simple C major position works best. For beginner pianists, it’s probably best to play this song with the left hand and right hand sha...
The melody to Frere Jacques is quite repetitive and sequential. This makes it easy for beginners because that also means the same finger patterns can be transferred from one key to the next. If you were playing this in C major, the right hand would simply be playing C D E C two times in a row followed by E F G two times in a row. The same fingering...
Hot Cross Buns just might be the easiest piano selection on this list. It only takes three notes in total to play this song. Because it’s made up entirely of whole steps (a collection of two half steps), you can also play this on the black keys too. Many popular music books right this using the group of three black keys and fingers 2, 3, 4. If you ...
This Scott Joplin tune is wildly popular in movies and television. It’s a ragtime tune that’s fun for pianists to play, especially for beginners. There’s some interesting history behind the composition. It was written in 1902 and was a popular tune sold on player pianos in the early 1900s. It follows a popular two-step dance form that starts in C m...
I first heard Chopsticks in the movie Big with Tom Hanks. It’s a well-known waltz from the late 1800s, and still carries quite a bit of popularity in today’s culture. This piece is also used commonly as a warmup exercise for young pianists because it only uses two fingers. Eliminating the need for using multiple fingers makes the tune really easy t...

This is a Disney classic that can easily be played on the white keys starting on C. Below is a basic breakdown of each line of the verse. 1. C C E C D D D 2. D D F D E E 3. E E G E F F F E D 4. G F E D C As you can see, there’s a pretty clear pattern of the pitches between lines one and three. You can split the piece between both hands, or use the ...
This is not really a song, but you can make it one with a bit of creative thinking. The C major scale is one of the first scales taught to piano students because it’s the most straightforward one to play. The basic finger pattern of a scale uses 123 followed by 12345. Yes, the thumb will cross under the third finger, but within a few tries, you sho...
Happy Birthday To You is one of the first songs new pianists learn. Usually, it’s taught by rote; copying what someone else tells you to do. The song can easily be played with just the index finger only for the entire duration, but it’s nice to use some proper fingering when working through it. This song also features some syncopated rhythms, usual...
Another folk classic, Yankee Doodle is easy for new pianists to understand. While some arrangements have this written in eighth notes, it’s very common to see it written in common time. That’s four quarter notes per measure. It’s a simple melody based in C major. 1. C C D E C E D G 2. C C D E C B 3. C C D E F E D C 4. B G A B C C If you want a bit ...
