Re: Whats the best song/music for a beginner to learn
Well first, you need to learn to read sheet music, it's really easy "to read", just watch some of Andrew's videos, namely the first few.
The first song, I learned was The song of storms from Zelda, only problem is that the actual sheet is impossible to play without three hands , but you can make a compromise, the sheet music is online.
I think that Video game music is a good place for some to start, the sheet music is also a lot easier to find.

Galbadia has a ton of sheet music as well.

Hey! thanks for helping him out! when i saw your post, I litturally smiled! because it was the first time that this place was starting to feel like a community!
That's some great advice you've given him! So thank you ^_^ That just got some brownie points from me hahaha
Also kel, you could look up learning some simple songs written by Mozart or Bach, they have both written some songs in low grades that you would be capable of playing! Go to your local music store and ask for a classical grade 1 book to start learning out of, they will probably have those pieces included! ^_^ take care!
Re: Whats the best song/music for a beginner to learn
This site has some nice pieces that are categorized based on levels:

Re: Whats the best song/music for a beginner to learn
Also, try out www.8notes.com. It's a really good site with sheet music for beginner's, and they have Pop songs, Rock, Hip-Hop, etc. They also have a piano chord and scale finder that shows you chords and scales for piano. It's definitely a good site to learn from if you're just starting off.
I'd also give you the advice to first learn how to read music like KOH said earlier.
I hope that helps!

It is ok that you cant read yet, it will come with practice, if you do know it then it will be easier to analyze the pieces starting with easy ones.
Check out the General piano topic. I posted some links for easy sheetmusic, have fun

Re: Whats the best song/music for a beginner to learn
First song I learned was "9 crimes" by Damien Rice, because I had a new piano and I wanted to play something I love. So I just found a little tutorial on Youtube, because that time I also can't read sheets... It was really helpful, because it is something like loop played over and over again, so it was very good practise for my fingers and memory. Of couse, first Andrew's basic lessons was necessary even before, for exaple how to place your hands over the keys and how don't .

There is only one thing I cant resist ... thats the temptation
Re: Whats the best song/music for a beginner to learn
The first song i learned was a simpel composition of canon... It is actually very beatufull, even thoug it cant match the harder ones. But for beginners, my "bad" advace is to aim a little bit higher than you think. Not TO high, but I have these past three months expirienced that aming high, for me that is, is the right way to go.
Example: When I started i couldnt understand what to do in Balade for adeline, but for about a month ago I sat down with my intermediat book with shets that I bougt my first week, and tryed The Balade again. Now I could play the song trough the whole song (of course very slowly, but you could defenintly hear the melody and so on..)
So Canon, Victors Piano Solo and Farwell King Hyrule has helped me ALOT!
I have chosen sheetmusic that are Unsimular in structure, and that is also a "good" advice i think. Play different structures, and suddanly you can play more complicated things faster - i think. Its been that for me.
But I play on a keayboard, so I guess its a bit scare to start on a piano (wich I have NEVER played before in my life )
and discover that Im not as progressed as i hope But thats okay I dont got little time.
Hurry slowly is my motto ragards to pianoplaying.

You should always aim a little bit higher, people do it in sports, so I see no
reason why you can push yourself to the limit on a piano to.

Re: Whats the best song/music for a beginner to learn
aim high is a good motto, in general that WILL help you improve faster.
The only thing you should be careful of is over working your muscles and straining them. You can get tendonitious that way and you DON"T want that trust me!
thomandy, don't worry about not having played a piano yet!! It's not TOO different than a keyboard, if you're used to playing on a higher quality keyboard you won't find much of a difference when you get to try a real piano:)
If you DO want to try out a real piano, maybe even a grand, just go to a piano store near you and pretend you're interested in buying a piano. Try a few out! I used to go to the piano shop here and play all the grands throughout the store before i bought my own. it's fun trust me!

Re: Whats the best song/music for a beginner to learn
I practice alot, so I see your warning about overworking. And again your Youtubelesson was really helpull. Coulse i didnt know if I was doing the right things. Actually a got lucky on adjusting my keyboard in the right positon, but I really never thought about my fingers. Now i pay attention on them as well.
Great Idea I will defenently try that one out when Im in a bigger city. My local store got 1 digital piano :p hehehe
And today I am hopfully buying the Yamaha CLP 240 If they got them in stock. Its accourding to the shop, the nr 1 selling digital piano here in Norway at the moment.

Good luck ! I hope they've got it in stock but you should seriously try out a grand piano if they've got one there!! ^_^ it'd be a good experience for you!
