Piano is easy! A selection of sheet music that beginners can play with both hands

One reason people feel that “the piano is hard…” is that they often try to tackle pieces or arrangements that are too difficult from the start.

Even YouTuber pianists who play freely and professional performers began by carefully reading simple scores and practicing slowly with one hand.

In other words, no one can suddenly play difficult pieces smoothly from the get-go!

So this time, we’re introducing easy arrangements of famous pieces that beginners can use to challenge hands-together playing without overexerting themselves.

We’ve selected a wide range—from classical to film music to pop—so pick a piece you like and give it a try!
