These five finger piano pieces are perfect for beginners. Well known tunes like these are great because they give kids a lot of satisfaction and can be learned easily. They work really well when used in a lesson to balance out the more challenging tasks so that the pupil can relax and have fun with the piano.
The first piano lessons are crucial because this is when kids are going to either fall in, or out of love with the piano. It’s in these early lessons that it’s really important for kids to have fun and feel encouraged.
Five finger pieces that everyone recognises and are quick to learn become an excellent incentive to encourage practice.
If you are new to the piano, it may be helpful for you to go to my earlier posts in the First Piano Lessons Series for complete beginners. I’d recommend The Easiest Way to Learn the Notes and Introducing the Note Family as places to start, or my First Piano Lessons eBook for the full series.

Any suggestion for ear training 3 to 4 year Olds on the piano? I love the instructions you’ve given for teaching notes.
Singing lots of guessing, interval, echo games and using solfege and chime bars to build up inner pitching and hearing. I have loads of posts about chime bar games and lots of these would also adapt to the keyboard. See the link below 🙂
