When you're just starting out leaning piano, one of the best things you can do to is to learn to play easy songs on piano.
It's not only good fun but it is great for your confidence too, plus if you learn some easy using correct playing techniques then you'll find you improve quickly.
If you are familiar with the songs then it will also make them easier to play because you'll already know how the rhythm and tune should sound so choose to play songs that you know.
When I first began to play piano I made a list of songs that I liked and then searched the internet for tutorials and downloads.
You'd be surprised at how many resources and information is available online now including downloads and video.
Here is my top 10 lists of easy songs I learned to play:
I also chose songs that I thought other people would know too in case I wanted to have a singalong at a party or get together.
I regularly have friends and family round so I wanted to be able to play songs on my piano that they could join in with too.
There's not much point learning a musical instrument if you're not prepared to play in front of people I feel.
So why not have a think about it, make a list of your favorite songs and learn to play a few of them.
