Many, if not most of us who had been to school would have had music as a part of our curriculum. We have all studied do-re-mi and the different notes like the whole, note, half note etc. We have also been taught about the Treble Clef or the G-clef and the Bass or F-clef. If you had music as a subject, as a second grader you should been taught the basic theories of music and are most probably acquainted with FACE and the Every Good Boy Does Fine notes on the staff. If not, let me refresh your memory.
The black notes on the line or spaces of the grand staff (g-clef and F-clef) represent the tones on your piano. The letter F, A, C and E falls on the four spaces of the G clef of the grand staff (the upper 5 lines) and in that order. F occupies the first space at the bottom and E occupies the last space at the top. So we have F for the fa note, A for the La note, C for do and E for mi. Now the phrase “every good boy does fine” falls on the lines. The first line is E or as was said earlier the note mi, G is sol, B is ti; D is re and F is again fa. So your basic do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti notes are the tones C-D-E-F-G-A-B in order.
A piano keyboard has 88 notes or keys, with seven sets or octaves beginning with the A tone on the left or the lowest octave and a C tone at the right or the highest octave. The “middle C” as the name implies is at the very middle of the whole keyboard it is the 40th tone if you count all the keys on the piano both black and white beginning at the lowest end or at the left end of the keyboard. So all the notes on the G-clef or Treble clef of the music piece falls on the right side e of the middle C in your piano; while all the notes on the F-clef of the Bass-Clef falls on the left side of the middle C.
You should also remember that all the natural notes are played on the white keys of your piano while sharps (#) and flats (b) in your music piece are played on the black keys. If it’s a sharp you go the black key on the right. If it’s a flat you play the black key on the left. These are the basics you should know before even exercises on the piano itself.

Easy piano songs are what most beginners aspire to do. However, it can be tricky for some; practice makes perfect in overcoming this obstacle. To start with you should never attempt anything that’s to complex, you need songs which start with one handed pieces and then you can gradually try more difficult songs. So DON’T hurry into playing two handed songs, because it will prove much too difficult for you. The temptation of playing your favourite songs is obviously appealing, but it will inevitably lead you to become frustrated.
At first, attempting to play piano songs can be a very exasperating task. To combat this you need to sharpen up certain skills. You most definitely need to start learning your notes. You need to get to a stage where you can envision what key comes next. Also playing songs sharps and flats, can prove to be slightly hard for many beginners, so avoid doing this.
Playing easy piano songs to begin is a great way to learn, jumping into more complex songs can from time to time be difficult and overwhelming to beginners. Implementing daily practices is key to becoming a great pianist. Everything else will become simpler for you after you have mastered the fundamentals well. Practicing can from time to time be difficult to schedule, but I guarantee it will you a more improved piano player. I hope these suggestions on learning to play easy piano songs will be usefull for you.
