Easy Piano Sheet Music
Swan Lake 

Easy piano sheet music Swan Lake for little ballerinas, or any child who loves the mysterious sound of the minor scale. 

I have here two NEW arrangements: 

• an early intermediate version with broken chords and some inversions, and
• a duet secondo part to go with the easy arrangement for beginners.

Please scroll down the page for the download links.

The theme from Swan Lake is featured in the video below:

Here is page two of the new solo arrangement:

Here is a close-up look at page one, the beginning:

Here is the bottom of the page, where the theme changes, and the chord progressions move more quickly:

Here is a beginner's arrangement of this classical piece from the ballet repertoire of Tchaikovsky, sent to me by Tabitha S. Kierszka.

Tabitha is a piano teacher, arranger and composer from the Netherlands, where Swan Lake is called "Het Zwanenmeer." This easy arrangement lays nicely in the hands of a beginner.  

Please scroll down the page for the download links.

Though this version of the ballet Swan Lake theme is so simple, the mind of a child can supply all the mystery of the orchestral background as their fingers move over the keys -- especially if you introduce them to it. 

To turn this piece into a duet, try broken Am chords played quickly from left to right and held, followed by an F broken chord, and ending with a deep Am again.

Another beautiful harmonization is the progression Am - Dm - Am - Dm - Am.

When your student plays Swan Lake at home, the ear of the imagination will fill in the missing harmony. (At least I think it will -- I could always hear the missing orchestra in my head as a kid! How about you?) 

Now here is my own easy piano sheet music or duet primo for Swan Lake: unlike Tabitha, I didn't add any dynamic markings.  But this arrangement differs by using just a touch of harmony:

Full of skips (intervals of thirds), but pretty easy!

And here is a duet, with both primo and secondo on the same sheet:

Please scroll down the page for the download links.

Look at all those rolled chords!  

Actually, just TWO rolled chords, again and again.  The secondo part will require some skill with chord inversions - excellent practice for an intermediate-level older sister or brother, to play along with a younger sibling.

Notice how the rolled chords climb from the bass clef up into the treble clef in measure four, then back to bass clef again:

The secondo looks harder than it really is; the hands are parallel all the way through.

I hope your students enjoy these arrangements of Swan Lake!
