50 Easy Piano Songs For Kids Including Mozart And Baby Shark

Teaching kids to read and play music can truly enrich their lives. We recognize that not all families can afford a piano or piano lessons. However, if you’re lucky enough to be able to share the joys of learning and playing music, the perseverance and patience they’ll learn throughout their training will serve them later in life, as well. But, getting kids to like playing piano may not be easy. Learning theory isn’t fun for anyone. And playing songs you don’t know or that feel too hard can also be a total downer. By helping your kids find easy songs to play, you’re guaranteeing a win. A “win” will only encourage them to continue playing and, eventually, try harder songs. This list of easy piano songs for kids will, hopefully, help keep your kiddos interested.
