Songs to learn on piano?
I cant read music, but play by ear. I can already play most of Fur Elise, Moonlight Sonata, Lizst's Hungarian Rhapsody, Chopin's Raindrops prelude, the Chopin Nocturne used in the movie 'The Pianist.' Lately ive been finding it difficult to find more romantic era pieces which arent too difficult to play. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
Preferably classical or romantic era pieces, not too fast or difficult.
None of that crappy pop music please.
Thanks

I've been working with the course for about a week now, and it's incredible. Just the practice aids and the different scales and memory techniques in Book 9 are worth the price of the course, alone! There are two things that make this course stand out. First, all the video and audio files are embedded in the lesson. I have yet to find another piano course that makes it this easy. It's so nice not to have three files going at the same time!
The second thing is that you actually get to play in each lesson! And the songs are not "Mary had a Little Lamb" types! From the Beatles to Bethoven, it's all there. I have several piano courses that I have ordered over the internet. This is the one I use because it makes learning fun! I'm amazed! Once you get the rhythms down, you really can sound like a pro! Great fun! Thanks for making this available at such a reasonable price. Anyone who doesn't grab this up is going to go the long way home! Joy!
Now ANYONE Can Learn Piano or Keyboard?

Imagine by John Lennon is a personal favorite. Good piano part, pretty simple but memorable, beautiful song.

Hello fellow pianist.
If you want a challenge then try playing i giorni. It took me quite a while to make a good cover of it and it really impressed people.
