Free Easy Piano Sheet Music
Free easy piano sheet music for your students who are past beginner level!
Now students start using moving chords in the left hand, requiring more hand coordination. Also, the range of notes is greater than in Year One and After Year One.
America (My Country 'Tis of Thee)
A fairly easy arrangement of this song, with some parallel motion and some solid and broken chords.
A pretty song with a repeated chord pattern, with lyrics that can be sung.
This song is about missing a friend.
Three different "arrangements" of the minuet are on this page, including the original!
This is the real thing; three pages.
Also on this page you will find a four-measure introductory version of this pretty prelude, written with large notes to alleviate the fear of sixteenth notes for newbies!
Gentle-sounding and beautiful, this repetitious piece made of chord inversions is a good choice for a church prelude, or for weddings.
The Beatitudes, Matthew 5:3-12
This lead sheet is a good way for early pianists to learn this song, as the piano arrangement of the Beatitudes song is challenging!
These are the beautiful words of Jesus, when he says, "Blessed are they which hunger and thirst, for they shall be filled."
This piece is by Mozart's father.
It is a catchy piece, with a repeating left hand.
The right hand presents much opportunity for finger replacement practice, a necessary skill for pianists!
Your fingering choices may be different than mine, but try them out!
Several versions on this page - both harder than the one shown, and also a couple that are easier!
This is a very fun song.
Several versions are on this page, with slight alterations in the melody to make it easier to play for some students.
This song earns a place on this past-beginner-stage page, because using a G7 chord in the "oom-pah-pah" left hand pattern is pretty hard!
It is a big stretch for small hands, and putting this piece hands together is something of a small feat.
Come Ye Sinners, one of the old gospel hymns
This pretty tune has several different sets of lyrics.
You may recognize it from movies set in olden days.
Cowboy's Lament (I'm Going to Leave Old Texas)
A favorite cowboy song of mine, with a great bass patterns that sounds like a horse loping along.
An impish-sounding piece! Indeed, a "boself," hailing from the Netherlands, is a kind of mischievous goblin-like creature.
This is an arrangement of a classical piece.
Down to the River to Pray sheet music
A satisfying piece of music, fun & easy to sing, with many verses!
A beautiful, mysterious-sounding piece that sounds much harder than it actually is.
Two times through the melody, with a slight change in the left hand the second time through, makes this a quickly-learned challenge for many students!
Not hard, but with shifting hand positions.
This is a 2-page longer version than my other, shorter arrangements.
Funeral March, Chopin's scary Halloween music!
This ominous melody with the somber chords is very spooky...
This is the real thing, except that I've written it with QUARTER NOTES instead of the usual sixteenths and eighths.
So much easier to read.
Two pages - this is just part one of Fur Elise.
An intricate scalar right hand melody with many fingering details.
Fortunately, the left hand is fairly static, but exciting with its big octaves!
The very first line of the melody has a naturally soaring feeling of climax - very fun!
Adding the left hand to this melody makes an easy tune very tricky - but the chords are predictable, and beautiful!
Goober Peas easy piano songs for kids
A funny song about Civil War soldiers munching peanuts (known as "goober peas").
This is a cute song with an adorable melody.
There are a number of arrangements on this page, including very EASY beginner arrangements with shared-hands for the melody.
This one starts with an exciting rolled chord, and uses chord inversions in the left hand.
Harp Ballad printable sheet music for piano
An important piece in my studio.
A beautiful melody is juxtaposed with a repeating left hand pattern, which breaks away into long climbing chords in part 2.
The hand coordination practice is invaluable, and marks a milestone for students.
A piece with lots of energy and excitement, not to mention hand coordination challenges!
Two pages.
This song is kind of cool... a nice blues chord pattern, back & forth, and a melody that stays inside 5 notes, for the first half.
House of the Rising Sun chords
A terrific old song made famous by a group called "The Animals" back in the 60's.
How Doth the Little Crocodile easy piano songs for beginners
A creepy-sounding melody to accompany the Lewis Carroll poem found in Alice in Wonderland.
It sounds very crocodile-like in a natural way!
Okay; this one is actually a DUET.
The secondo part is tricky enough to qualify to be in this harder page of music; the primo is for younger players.
This is one of Brahms's most exciting pieces!
Check out a fancy version of the Pachelbel Canon that even elementary students can play!
This is a lead sheet, but on this page you'll find assistance on how to handle the chords in this fun song!
In the Hall of the Mountain King sheet music
This is a one-page version of this famous melody.
Not really easy, but exciting and motivating!
Yes, this is the famous Big Band piece that still retains its popularity! And it's no wonder - full of exuberant chord patterns and sliding scales, it's even more fun to play than to listen to.
Even your thoroughly modern students will tell you they think they have heard this before... somewhere.
Using open chords, this traditional melody has a fun, swingy feeling!
There's something irresistible about this little tune...
Irish Wedding free printable sheet music
This is the most difficult of the several versions that I have on this website.
Page one, still EASY.
But page two, not shown here, is quite challenging, with octave broken chords in the right hand, and octave jumps in the left hand chords.
VERY FUN!
An easy but full-sounding arrangement of this beloved hymn. With fingering suggestions, and with the Jesus Loves Me full lyrics.
A cute song from Australia about a bird whose call sounds like laughter.
This music is also a round, for singing!
Lake Pirates free printable piano sheet music - modeled after The Hobbit Soundtrack, Hobbit 3!
This 3-page song is a LOT of FUN to play.
Surprisingly easy - it is set in the key of Cm, with a simple repeating left hand - and only a couple of complicated parts!
A favorite with my students.
Largo, from the New World Symphony
A famous and beautiful theme.
It does indeed evoke the spacious expanses of the "new world," as Dvorak called America.
Built around a C chord, mostly.
Lavender's Blue - the Cinderella song lyrics!
This pretty melody was used in a recent Cinderella movie, where Cinderella, trapped in the attic, sings the song and is rescued by the prince.
Simple chords and inversions make up the left hand.
The right hand is as easy as can be...
I use this set of chords as an exercise, that sounds like real music.
It is ALMOST the same as the real Louie, Louie, with one chord alteration.
Shown here is the second level, employing chord inversions instead of plain root chords only.
Five different arrangements of this frenzied little tune.
I say "frenzied," because there is a real urgency in this music that hastens the player along!
Very fun.
So far, this music only comes as a lead sheet.
But part of becoming an accomplished pianist is figuring out how to add chords to a melody.
Don't miss this pretty one!
This arrangement is two pages long, and moves up into the key of E. Very lovely, and not too hard.
My Country, 'Tis of Thee (America)
A favorite old song of the United States - though it was originally from Great Britain, known as "God Save Our Noble Queen (or King)"
This singing round is also a pretty piano piece with easy broken chords and inversions.
It is a good candidate for transposing work!
You can look at several levels of arrangements of the Canon on this page.
One thing that will be plain to you immediately is that this arrangement is not in the key of D!
But along with the key of C, you will also find a download in the key of D.
Rain, Rain, Go Away beginner keyboard music sheets, free
See this page for a duet and an easier version of this song.
I loved this song as a kid.
I still love it!

Very pretty, a Japanese song about cherry blossoms.
Evocative and mood-setting, with opportunities for expression.
Play the Secret Garden song from the 1993 movie (it is also known as "Mary's First Time Outside").
An unusually pretty melody, arranged with an easy left hand.
In Am, or Bm.
Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God
This pretty piece has 3 pages, because there is a descant that goes with the melody.
The main theme uses just 5 notes, in the C position!

Learn the melody, the basic chords, and get fancier and fancier!
This pretty song hails from Australia... it may even be the national song.

Very fun to play and sing along with.
What Will We Do With a Drunken Sailor?
This song has several arrangements on its page, including some which title the song "What Do You Do With a GRUMPY Sailor?"
If you can persuade your students to conquer the fingering, this song will be a blast to play.
An old favorite, that functions as a piano song, and a solo or round for singers.
Very pretty.
A great old song from the American West.
With a repeating boogie-like left hand accompaniment.
Not really that hard, and a lot of big sound!
Two pages, with some finger-replacement and hand shifting.
