Is this what love feels like?Al Hoffman／Mack David
It’s a magical piece of music that colors a scene from a Disney animated film.
Set to an elegant waltz melody, it beautifully portrays the pure emotions of the protagonist.
The first encounter with love at a palace ball—the flutter, the confusion, the joy—is expressed through a gentle, dreamlike tune that resonates deeply with listeners.
It’s also used in shows at Disneyland and DisneySea, and is cherished by many as a memorable song.
The melody is simple and stays within a single octave, making it easy for those just starting to learn notes to try.
It’s a recommended piece for anyone who wants to improve their performance skills while having fun.
Humoresques, Op. 101 No. 7Antonin Dvořák
Antonín Dvořák’s masterpiece, “Eight Humoresques,” is notable for its gentle, relaxed melodies.
This time, I’d like to introduce No.
7 from the set, “Eight Humoresques, Op.
101.” The key points of this piece are the score reading and the modulation section.
As for reading the score, it presents quite a challenge for beginners.
And then there’s the modulation: octaves appear suddenly, so be sure to warm up your fingers well before tackling it.
Lullaby, Op. 49 No. 4Johannes Brahms
Among classical works, there are several pieces that bear the title “Lullaby.” Among them, alongside those by Schubert and Mozart, one of the most famous is Johannes Brahms’s “Lullaby, Op.
49 No.
4,” widely known as “Brahms’s Lullaby.” Its gentle, sparsely noted melody—typical of lullabies that lull children to sleep—is easy to play on the piano, making it perfect for beginners.
However, precisely because it is simple, the beauty of tone and flow becomes crucial.
Let’s aim for a soothing performance that helps listeners feel at ease and drift off to sleep.
The BeatlesLet It Be
When a man is starting to practice singing with self-accompaniment, the first Western song I’d love him to try is the Beatles’ “Let It Be.” It’s a classic with a piano intro that speaks for itself.
The accompaniment is actually simple—you can play it if you learn just four chords, and since it’s in C major, it uses only the white keys, making it easy to remember.
You can’t play the intro and interlude with chords alone, but with a bit of effort and practice, you should be able to master them quickly.
If you enjoy Western music, start your practice with “Let It Be”!
See You Again ft. Charlie PuthWiz Khalifa
Wiz Khalifa’s 2015 hit “See You Again ft.
Charlie Puth” is a piece that reveals the piano’s delicate side.
In addition to being chosen as the theme song for the film Furious 7, it also drew attention when figure skater Shoma Uno used it in an exhibition program.
Although it’s a quiet piece, be careful not to make the sound too weak—ensure each note is clearly articulated.
To avoid a monotonous performance, try building excitement toward the end by adding more layered tones, and experiment with the number of notes as well as dynamics.
