You don\u2019t have to be a master pianist to perform amazing songs at the piano– even beginners can get behind the keys and play something beautiful. \ud83d\udc90<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A disciplined practice routine and proper technique<\/a> are both paramount to becoming a better piano player, but sometimes just sitting down and playing a song that you love can be exactly what’s needed to inspire yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For today\u2019s lesson, we\u2019ve got 4 (more<\/a>) songs that are perfect for beginner piano players to sink their teeth into and get motivated, so let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can\u2019t Help Falling In Love – Elvis Presley<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

“Can’t Help Falling in Love<\/a>” is a beautiful love song recorded by Elvis Presley<\/a> in 1961. The melody is based on “Plaisir d’amour<\/a>“, a popular French love song composed in 1784 by Jean-Paul-\u00c9gide Martini<\/a>. The song was initially written for a woman as “Can’t Help Falling in Love with Him”, which explains the first and third lines ending on “in” and “sin” rather than words rhyming with “you”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a new player and this looks intimidating, don\u2019t worry– I\u2019ll walk you through the chords, note-by-note. There are only four chords you need to know to get started, and they just keep repeating over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This song follows the extremely popular I\u2013V\u2013vi\u2013IV progression<\/a>, and you can use it to play literally hundreds of songs<\/a>. Once you\u2019ve got a scope on it, you’ve just learned them all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change-up in the bridge-section of a song is something I might tend to avoid when practicing a new piece of music, but it\u2019s always my favorite part to listen to (\ud83d\ude43). The contrast the bridge creates with the rest of the composition is beautiful, and not beyond a beginner\u2019s skill. Follow along with me in the video and you\u2019ll be playing this song from beginning to end in no time. It\u2019s only another two chords!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
