10 Piano Pieces for Beginners

Have you been playing scales, arpeggios, and other piano exercises? Looking for some actual music to sink your fingers into? There’s a lot of music out there. Some pieces are amazing to listen to, but technically challenging and beyond the reach of many pianists. Other works are easy to play, but perhaps lacking in musical aesthetic.

Minuet In G by Johann Sebastian Bach

Für Elise by Ludwig van Beethoven

Gymnopedie No. 1 by Erik Satie

Prelude and Fugue No. 1 in C Major (from TheWell-Tempered Clavier Book I) by Johann Sebastian Bach
