Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum What was your first ever piece

I think it was Bach's first invention.

The Entertainer, horribly simplified...
but it was fun while it lasted :p

Greensleeves, from one of the Canadian books, I think the grade 5 or 6 one. It was a hard piece for a beginner, but I couldn't play the simple ones because I didn't know how they were supposed to sound. I managed to pull off the Greensleeves though. I was about 15 or so, and we had a player piano!

Not even 3 years. It's the most recent slice of my life, and I haven't learned that many pieces.

Mine was some really dumbed down waltz or dance type song. I don't remember the name but I think I still have the sheet somewhere.

I think it was either "Happy Birthday" or "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", it was too far back to remember

I first song I learned was Jingle Bells from Alfred book 1. It was a big deal for me!

Sorry about the typing error. Too late at night!

My first piece was the "Theme from Romeo and Juliet". What made this memorable was I played this by ear after being subjected to listening to this on the radio for many years. And I fooled around with the octaves as well. I also played "Happy Birthday" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" mixing the treble and the bass registers. What joy!

My first piece was C D E F G F E D C. My second piece was one octave of C major scale.
