Absolute Beginners - Piano
Creative piano music from the very start!


"Merrily I Play Along" has very easy songs that can be mastered in the earliest stages of playing the piano, together with lyrics and lots of suggestions for improvising and composing.


The familiar pieces in this book are all early favourites for players of melody instruments. However, they are less frequently encountered in arrangements for the beginner pianist. Here, they are all presented in the 'Middle C' position, that adopted for the majority of beginners. The pianist can play just the melodic line, dividing the tune between the two hands, as indicated in the score, or can add the simple harmony parts, in the left hand.

Songs Included:
1.  Suo Gan
2.  Fais Dodo
3.  Merrily I Play Along
4.  Pease Pudding
5.  One Man Went To Mow
6.  Winter, Goodbye
7.  Twinkle, Twinkle
8.  When the Saints
9.  Jingle Bells
10. Hot Cross Buns
11. Little John
12. Old MacDonald
13. Frère Jacques
