The PianEasy Library
The PianEasy Library is an ever-expanding collection of carefully curated piano pieces. The central strategy is to make every piece approachable by breaking it into bite-sized chunks. Every piece in the Library is organised this way: first divided into sections, then further subdivided into manageable segments. Its dedicated lessons page begins with a roadmap: a short introduction highlighting notable features and explaining how the piece is organised for learning. This is followed by a fully annotated performance that identifies each section and segment as the music unfolds, before a series of guided video lessons leads you through building the entire piece yourself, one segment at a time.
The four launch pieces in the PianEasy Library have been chosen deliberately with players of every standard in mind. Each is every bit as rewarding for the experienced pianist as it is approachable for those just starting out. They’ve also been chosen because they’re pieces people already know and love. Choosing music you already know and love, and thinking, “I’d love to be able to play that,” is one of the fundamental principles of the PianEasy approach.
The Library begins with these four launch pieces, with more to come.
J.S. Bach
Prelude in C
Learn how gently morphing harmonies and flowing arpeggios create one of Bach’s most memorable preludes.
LISTEN
Erik Satie
Gnossienne No.1
Built from just three chords and three short repeated segments, you’ll need to learn only 13 bars to play one of Satie’s most captivating pieces in its entirety. An ideal early challenge for those just starting out.
LISTEN
Beethoven
Für Elise
The famous opening section is genuinely approachable for a beginner. Later sections gradually introduce more challenging material but even then, turn down the tempo and the most demanding passages become fair game.
LISTEN
Edward McDowell
To A Wild Rose
A slow, lyrical miniature full of satisfying harmonies and elegant simplicity.
