Beginner piano songbook for young kids
Seventy Famous Easy Piano Songs for Kids
What Is This Book?
Seventy Famous Easy Piano Songs for Kids is a beginner-friendly piano songbook designed especially for young children starting their musical journey. With clear notation, jumbo print, and familiar melodies, it helps kids build confidence quickly. By limiting the music to the first six notes of the C major scale, the book offers a simple, successful introduction to reading and playing piano.
Who Is This Book For?
This book is ideal for children in the early elementary ages who are brand-new to piano or in their first year of lessons. It works well for private piano lessons, school music programs, group classes, and homeschool music study. Parents with no musical background can also use it at home to support independent practice and family music time.
What Makes This Book Easy for Kids to Learn?
The music is printed in jumbo-sized notation, making it easier for young eyes to see the notes and follow along. Each song appears twice: once with letter names written inside the note heads, and once with standard notation without letters. This dual layout lets children start by using the letters, then gradually transition to reading notes on the staff with confidence. The entire book is limited to just six notes (the first six notes of the C major scale), which keeps choices simple and prevents beginners from feeling overwhelmed. Clear page layouts and a consistent format help kids focus on one new challenge at a time.
What Music Does the Book Include?
The book contains seventy famous and easy tunes carefully chosen for young learners. Children will encounter a mix of classic melodies and popular favorites that are instantly recognizable to both kids and parents. The variety of pieces exposes students to different musical styles while keeping everything within a comfortable, beginner-friendly range.
Are There Fun Extras Included?
This book focuses on the music itself and does not include additional extras.

How to Use This Book
Teachers can use this book alongside any beginner piano method, assigning a few songs each week to reinforce new notes and rhythms. In lessons, start with the version of each song that has letter names in the notes, then move to the regular notation as the student gains confidence. Parents can encourage children to play favorite songs multiple times so the music feels fun and familiar. The book also works well for short performances, studio recitals, or informal “mini concerts” at home, since many of the tunes are instantly recognizable. Students can progress page by page or skip around to songs they already know by ear, building motivation and practice consistency.
