If you’ve got a piano but are finding it too hard to play, the 10 easiest popular songs to play on piano will definitely change your mind! For me, the piano is probably the best musical instrument out there. I mean, for most other instruments, barring maybe the electric guitar, playing that instrument alone does not quite provide the experience that playing a piano does. You can compose the most beautiful melodies in the world, that can actually take you places! However, this is also the reason why the piano is considered to be one of the hardest instruments to play properly. It is easier to learn playing a guitar, but it is more rewarding to learn playing a piano.

It can be very easy to give up learning to play the piano, which is why I’ve always believed it is better to start off with easy popular songs to play on piano. I’m still an amateur in this skill, but I can recount the countless times I was ready to give up, because I just couldn’t learn the music as fast as I thought I should have been able to. And while listening to piano instrumentals may make them appear daunting, they can actually be quite easy to learn.
