[Easy to Play Even If You're Not Good with Both Hands!] Simple piano pieces for absolute beginners. Recommended piano songs.
For those just starting the piano, playing with both hands is probably the first big hurdle, isn’t it?
It’s especially confusing when your hands have to move differently.
In more difficult pieces, it’s normal for the left hand to play octaves, and fast passages appear frequently.
Of course, few people tackle such pieces right from the start, but many still choose the wrong pieces to begin with.
This time, we’ve selected some of the simplest works from the piano repertoire, especially for beginners.
