Piano Sheet Music for Toddlers | A curated selection of unique materials to enjoy by seeing, listening, and touching

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Choosing sheet music for children touching the piano for the first time can be tricky for any teacher.

Some parents may also be wondering, before lessons begin, how to help their child get used to the piano at home and asking themselves, “What kind of sheet music would spark their interest?”

In this article, we’ve selected piano books for young children from among kids’ piano materials that make learning the piano fun!

We’ll introduce carefully chosen scores with unique features and clever twists—such as “cute illustrations,” “progressing like reading a picture book,” and “playing in ensemble with audio that comes from the book.”

In conclusion

Children’s sheet music comes in an incredible variety—from picture-book-style materials that hardly use the staff and focus on nurturing sensitivity, to books that build sight-reading skills by having kids read the staff from the very beginning.

In addition to long-standing favorites with enduring popularity, new editions are constantly being released.

To be honest, you won’t know which book fits a child best until you try it, but being familiar with a range of options will make it easier to choose the one that’s just right.

I’d be delighted if this article helps expand your toolkit of teaching materials.
