What songs are good songs to begin learning on piano?
I’m a total beginner and intend on starting to learn by ear. I want some songs, not songs like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, some real songs that have some basic piano techniques, like Imagine for instance. Some real songs that I can learn how to play by ear at a beginners level.
You could try Superman by Five For Fighting. Not too difficult.
