In this piano tutorial, you will learn how to play the Jazz standard, Autumn Leaves on piano. I have simplified it for you.

Actually, there are two tutorials on this page. In the first tutorial, you will learn how to play an easier version of Autumn Leaves. You will play single notes with the left hand and the melody of the song with the right. In the second tutorial, you will learn how to play chords with the left hand and the melody with the right hand. If any of these chords are new to you or challenging, check out the piano chords page.

The tutorials are broken down into parts. I start by playing the entire song, then we take a look at the right hand part or the melody, followed by the left hand part or bass notes/chords of Autumn Leaves.  Simply take it one step at a time. At the end, we put everything together and play the entire song.

In this easy piano tutorial, you will learn how to play the song, Stand By Me by Ben E. King. Although this song is really in the key of A major, I decided to do it in the key of C major to keep things very easy for the absolute beginner. As you may know, the key of C major makes use of white keys only.

I start by playing the bass and chords for the entire song first of all. I show you three ways in which you can play the chords. After this, we take a look at the chords for Stand By Me, followed by the very easy bass pattern.  At the end we put everything together.

This song has a very simple chord sequence. In the key of C major, as seen in the How to Play Stand By Me Easy Piano Tutorial, the chords are C major – A minor – F major – G major – C major. This pattern simply repeats over and over throughout the entire song.

As for the left hand part, the bass notes are as follows:

G B C C G B C C
C B A A G A A
A G F F F A G G
G B C C G B C C

In this easy piano tutorial for beginners, you will learn how to play the song, Work From Home by Fifth Harmony. I’ve kept it very simple for the beginner. I start by playing both the left hand and right hand parts of the entire song, then I break it down for you. We take a look at the right hand part separately, followed by the left hand part.

The right hand part is broken down into four individual parts while the left hand part is broken into two easy ones.

At the end, we put everything (both the left hand and right hand parts) together.

The notes are listed below.

In this easy piano tutorial, you will learn how to play the song, Faded by Alan Walker. I decided to keep it very simple for beginners. Later on, you can always improvise and add harmonies and arpeggios. But this easy tutorial will get you started. If you are a beginner, I suspect that you will find this version to be sufficient.

I will play the entire song first of all, then you will learn how to play it part by part.

The notes are listed below.

For part 1, you play single notes.

Part 2: 

For part 2, play broken chords.

D♯m B F♯ C♯

The notes of D# minor are D#, F# and A#. The notes of B major are B, D# and F#. The notes of the F# major chord are F# A# and C#. The notes of the C# major chord are C#, E# and G#. You simply play the first note of the chord followed by the other two notes in the chord. (By the way, E# is the same key as the F key on piano.)
