5 Classical Pieces Beginners Shouldn't Skip (Part 2) | Piano Lesson
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2024
- Are you wanting to play classical pieces but don't know where to start? After about 1-2 years of music training, I recommend playing these 5 beginner pieces. They are beautiful, famous and fun pieces to study. I also discuss briefly the educational benefits of playing these pieces.
PS. I use the word 'beginner' loosely here. In an ideal situation, my students would learn many other simpler works before these 5. But not everyone has the time to dedicate themselves to a strict and long program of piano study. The point of this video is simply to show you some potential works that might interest you, whether you play seriously or for leisure. Good luck!

Which of these 5 pieces is your favourite?
sonata..no.1 sir..🌸✨
Claire l'une by Debussy ❤️💯
Among the 5 pieces, my favorite is Minuet in G. This is actually composed by Christian Petzold, not J.S. Bach.
I like song no 1 sonata as I had performed before 😆😆
The first and the last were the best in my opinion.
Love that you include the learning benefits of each piece.
Definitely this! It helps us to tackle those areas of inexperience one at a time.
0:51 : (Piece 5) - Minuet in G (J. S. Bach)
2:45 : (Piece 4) - Clair De Lune (Claude Debussy)
6:22 : (Piece 3) - To a Wild Rose (MacDowell)
8:11 : (Piece 2) - Prelude in A, Op. 28 No. 7 (Chopin)
10:35 : (Piece 1) - Sonatina in C, Op. 36 No. 3 (Clementi)
That minuet is not from Bach
Thank you! This helped me much!
Whaat? Clair de Lune? Is this even possible to be played by a beginner?
(Oh ok, the first 14 bars)
😂😂
I was surprised too😂
No it's clearly not a beginner piece
Yes I agree, I think it’s more a late intermediate piece
Its really difficult to play it properly
My goal in life is to play Clair de Lune from the star to finish and feel it with my entire body. That's it. Thank you Jazer for this video! It has encoureged me to go for it! At least the first 14 bars :)
My mom and sister love that song and my mom got sheet music for me and I didn't like it ngl. I can play it now easily with the sheet music and it really does sound better when you put your soul into it since it's not much of anything without emotion. I am intrigued to see this comment though so I thought I'd reply hehe. ♥ Follow your dreams ♥
How’s the progress going? I started learning it 3 months ago and now I am onto the fast part.
I have a similar goal
The fact that you put clair de lune as the 2nd simplest piece for beginners makes me seriously doubt my 7 years of piano- learning experience.
LOL Me to. I was shocked. But then he clarified and said the first part. That's better.

love love love love this
can you make a tutorial on how to play this pieces, pleeease
OMG, Jazer, you are the real MVP. Went the extra mile to provide us these links. Thank you, so much for your channel.
Commenting to save. Thank you
This beginner series is really good. Yes we love seeing those virtouso kind of playing but this kind of series makes you wanted to play. No intimidation, just pure inspiration. Hopefully, this becomes a regular series in your channel. Great vids :)
these are EXTREMELY helpful. I am 21 and just picked up piano again after 4 years of not playing. I was shocked at how quickly I picked up Moonlight Sonata again and didn’t know where to go after that! Thank you :)
Thank you SO MUCH for adding the sheet music in the description! Appreciate that a LOT, as a beginner who really wants to play classical music your free download links help me so much! Thank you for your videos!!
I agree. Jazer's videos are absolutely incredible. I appreciate him so much for all the great advice that he's giving for free, simply because he wants to benefit us and see us get better. He's truly inspiring. Jazer, Thank you. I only regret not stumbling onto your videos sooner.
Great additions to the list! Please keep this series up.
Claire de Lune is one of my favorite pieces on earth! I used to play piano as a teenager and did the whole piece and loved it so much! I now started again after not playing for a decade and one of my goals is being able to play it again (and the Prelude form the same Suite, loved that one as well)
Beautiful list ❤️
Thanks
Can't wait for number 3 🎼🤗
I love your analysis and the selection. It's not the average pieces that you have to learn because they are popular. They sound good and have technical benefits for beginners. I am definitaly going to learn them all. Please do a third part! :D
DAmn the intro piece was so refreshing
Thank you for the video!
I learned comptine yann tiersen only off of memorizing the keys on yourube in 2 momths and now im finally starting to learn how to read/memorize notes! Its my dream to play many pieces off the sheet and your channel does help a lot. Thank you!
I love that you give links to purchase these pieces. Saves me so much leg work!!
Thanks for your great tutorials. No blabla and fancy talks - just the basic facts, presented in a very professional and congenial presentation style. Just would like to add the Passacaglia by Handel Halvorsen to your list. It sounds very pleasing while helping to develop your finger independence and is a great piece for beginners.
Part 2. YES!!!. Thanks Jazer. Outstanding.
Jazer, I would definitely put a few of these in intermediate, especially the last one. Thank you for always posting awesome videos!
Thanks Jazer, awesome picks again. I was happy to see the Clementi Sonatina, as i love it every time i hear it but never got to it. This will be my next project, i love that typical sound.
My pleasure!
Thanks Jazer for the two videos. Awesome list!
Wow I am learning a lot from you. Had no idea the left hand should play more lightly than the right. Love your channel!
One piece that I’ve really enjoyed working on as a beginner is Beethoven pathetique sonata 2nd movement. It kind of increases in difficulty in three stages. Most importantly though, it’s so beautiful that the sound itself motivates further learning. I very much appreciate these videos as they’re great inspiration for new pieces
Same. Always loved the melody and it's a joy (and not too hard for a hack like me) to play.
Great that you chose clementi as the nummer one!
IT is fantastic to play.
Greetings from the Netherlands

I'll have to complete the first part of this video first. Jazer has given so much homework to complete that even though I don't have any piano friends my schedule is all caught up because there's so much to do. Thank you very much. Love from India ❤️
Awesome to hear you are building up some homework for yourself, all the best!
@@jazerleepiano thank you
Hahahha sameee. Im so full of joy nad exciment to learn the first video pieces
@@karlac4375 all the best on your journey
@Prayer metting with Lazarus keep up with your practice
You are simply an incredible instructor. I love LISTENING to your lessons.
Hi Jazer, great selection. One beginner piece I recommend is Satie, Gnossienne no. 1. Good for learning different rhythms in left hand, also expressive playing, patterns. I have managed to memorise it as there are few chords (3 I think) and it’s a beautiful piece too. I play it every day!
Thanks for this suggestions for beginners. I really need new ideas from time to time. Love your videos !
Never heard of the Wild Rose one but it sounds good and playable. Also, so proud to hear #2, a piece I self-taught in this list. Thank you!
It's easy to sight read, but once I tried playing it with both hands the whole piece was jerky n only some parts are smooth 😭 especially the parts where I had to stretch my hands very wide to play the chords......it's all because of my hands that makes this piece really challenging to play
I can't place it, but it's on the AMEB piano for leisure syllabus in Australia, and I think either I learnt it many years ago, or multiple people in my school learnt it and played it at recitals.
Thank you for the amazing pieces sir!
I was thinking about learning Clair de Lune. I might go for it.
Me too, those middle passages scare me tho. Good luck!
Learning it now, if you are a novice player like me be ready for a Challenge :D left hand arpeggios are so Awkward but sooo rewarding once your left hand is able to play everything :D love it
I remember when I was a beginner my piano teacher told me to try Clair de Lune, and it's actually amazing how far you can get, just by practicing several times a week, even if you think the piece will be too hard for you.
@@jelledevlieger6395 im left handed :D
How long have you played guys? Clair the lune is harder than it seems
Thank you I am a new learner and the pandemic stopped my teacher from coming and now I am watching your videos to help me continue my piano course, Thank you!!!
Awesome! Fantastic! Motivating . . .
Thank you Jazer for your INSPIRING video!
I love the piano and always wanted to learn to play.
Now that I’ve found you, the dream comes true. . .
Excellent…. I love your videos . I’m an adult going back to
Piano . I had to learn most of your 10 pieces as a beginner …. I was only 9 … haven’t played I a long time … your videos have offered great direction and encouragement
Love the videos! Thanks for making them! One video I'd love to see is some basic tips for playing with other instruments. I have some friends and they'll be playing some guitar and I'll have no idea how to play with them. Thanks!
your videos are just so good. Love them all!
Keep on this series, it provides inspiration !
I really enjoyed the video. This inspires me to practice again!
Thank you Jazer. I feel I just died and went to heaven listening to Claire de Lune. Ty for pointing these out with an explanation. I'm excited. I love classical music and the motivation it inspires and invites to improve my skills.
Always Great Videos from Jazer...another good one here...👍
I really think you deserve more subscribers than this. I really like that you're looking in the comments to see the feedback from you videos! Keep it up man. Also thanks for the tutorial.
These ideas are really helping me. . . thanks!
I'm so glad I played Clementi's Sonatina in C and to a wild rose when I started. Seeing them here brings me a smile :)
My fav is “To A Wild Rose”. Been trying off & on to memorize it for the past year. The last section is still challenging me. Once I get the notes, then I’ll work on dynamics. Thanks for including it in your list.
Good luck with it!
Alternate working on dynamics and learning the notes when you start a new piece. Then when you start improving, you won’t have to struggle to fill in the dynamics. Also helps to use short practice session of one technique (10-15 minutes) and take a quick break between.
Number 1 sounds beautiful 💛🎹🎵🎶
Inspired much to pick up these classical pieces! Have been playing mainly church music... though some are derived from folks like Sibelius, Beethoven. Thanks so much Jaser!
Love when you play!
Merci beaucoup for this, Jason. Beautiful pieces.
And you're teaching an old dog new tricks.
Hi Jazer
after many hours of practise i've finished all the pieces in your 2 videos. Your videos helps me a lot.
It would be awesome if you could make a video with 5 pieces for more intermediate stuff.
And again thank you
Fantastic videos. Thank you.
I happen to have just 'finished' learning Minuet in G now with the ornaments and everything you said is definitely true! I'd played a few pieces that *looked* much harder because they had beefier chords, so I expected the Minuet to be a relative breeze. But I found it actually took quite a bit of practice to get it to a level I consider acceptable. Most of the other stuff I'd learned had a melody in the right hand and bigger chords on the left, and timing was very predictable. The minuet almost gives both hands similar importance and has some more irregular timing. I'm also still struggling a bit with getting the ornaments/mordents clean, especially the first one with the fingering going 3-2-1, but I'm getting there!
@Napilopez We are definitely on the same boat! Minuet in G is the first piece I learned and it paved the way for me to explore some other pieces❤️
If you know other pieces that had the same characteristics (Left hand & Right hand equal importance) please do let me know.
Really helpful! Thank you!
These are very interesting tutorials, thank you.
I am 73 and you have inspired me to get back to playing the piano again. Thank you
This is such a big help! Thank you! I personally love Clare de Lune the best on this list.
I played a lot of Clementi when I was young and always thought those were a lot of fun!
I REALLY LIKE YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL. Such a great teacher.
These videos are all so helpful! Thank you!!!!
Glad you like them! And thank you so much for the support!
I didn’t know There is a “To a Wild Rose” Classical Music until i stumbled upon your video. Hopefully i’ll be play it someday as well. I really appreciate your videos really informative, beginner friendly and entertaining ☺️
I tackled Moonlight Sonata as a beginner. I am still working on it and others. I agree that playing what you want is motivational...and starting over with technique is hard. I am working on all of it. Thank you for the videos.
You can do it!
Tell me when you finish the 3rd movement
Clementi sonatinas are a really good introduction to sonatas. 36-2 is good start to train left hand dexterity as it has some scales on the left hand. 36-1 is also good because left and right hands both have similar speed, so if mastered, the pianist can play it really fast training both hand dexterity equally. i had a book of clementi sonatina op 36, 1-6 and all are really enjoyable to play. My fave is 6. :)
You are great!!! Love your videos
Thank you, great suggestions, I'll get to it. :)
There's a wide range of "beginner" and I think I think what you're getting at. But I think it might accidentally discourage people when they see an expert teacher being like "oh here's songs that any beginner shouldn't skip!" and they're all just ridiculously difficult for where we are currently. 😂
Thank you so much ☺️ for your help you’re the best really really!!!
Very good video, thank you.. i have to play piano so many years...
I hope the beginners know how to read music well, because some of the tones are not easy to follow a lot of b and #. I'm a beginner, but I'll try my best, because I love the pieces and they are iconic, part of the reason why I think you chose them. Nice work.
I love it. Great info. :)
I tried Clair de Lune, it is indeed good for working on expressions!
Look forward to watching the following series from you.
1) 5 classical pieces intermediate students shouldn’t skip
2) 5 classical pieces advanced students shouldn’t skip
3) 5 popular songs….
4) 5 Jazz songs …
6) 5 opera songs …
7) 5 beginner level piano books …
8) 5 intermediate level piano books ..
9) 5 advance level piano books ..
All of the above shouldn’t skip! 😄🎵
Thank you for the last one 👍
Thank you, this is awesome! Not sure about that last one yet though, lol.
Thank you!💕
U are my fav piano TH-camr
I agree that Clementi is a great introduction to other sonatas.
Incredible video!!!!!😄 👍👍
Thanks! 😃
Hola Jazer no hablo inglés pero me encanta ver y escuchar tus vídeos. Practico en mi Yamaha psre 403 como también en mi psrew310 que mi hija recientemente me regaló. Hi Jazer, I don't understand English but I love your videos. I practice in my Yamaha psre403 and too and my psrew310 (this last gift from my daughter). Happy day for you and your family. I live in Barranquilla, Colombia.
Great tips! ☺️🎼❤️🎹
A guitar teacher taught me a few songs many years ago, and somehow, those few songs are the only ones I still remember how to play - something about the way he taught I suppose. The thing is though, he really emphasised playing with feeling, with expression. He said even if you play a bum note now and then, it'll still sound good overall if your put your heart and soul into making it feel and sound beautiful.
thanks so much!!!!pls make a part 3
You are an amazing teacher ❤
I think Beginners shouldnt also skip Bergmuller's Studies
I agree, these are great for beginners
Just recommended Bergmüller Op.100 in the previous video ;)
Maybe you would think about doing a video of classical recommendations for players who are late beginner/early intermediate, or even just intermediate :). I love this series and how you always explain why a piece is good to learn :)
I would like to see this too Brittany - all sub-levels of intermediate and advanced levels for me!
Thanks for the 2 videos.
I got the notes for the Bach Minuet in G and Chopin's Prelude No 7.
I am amazed that I got into them quite quickly and it boosted my confidence.
It is great to have a wider variety of music I can play too.
How do I improve the grace notes? I never came across them before.
I love your videos and already use lots of it in my practice. Thank you. 🥰
Love when you play
Thank you very much. You have a good advice and tip for beginner like me indeed.
Happy to help! 😉
This video will really help me.
Wow, it's just wow sir jazer, I hope u make some piano lessons with some pieces like moonlight sonata etc.
Nice lesson
thank you for the video 🥰. Hello from Melbourne.
Yay minuet in g was the first piano piece I ever learned when I was a kid.
I had a keyboard and slowed down the tempo to learn it because I liked the song.
My favourites from this video would be Clair De Lune, as I just love the romanticism, and Chopin's Prelude in A just again it's stunningly beautiful for such a short piece. I've always wondered why he didn't extend this piece into a larger Sonata as his work is also very romantic. To A Wild Rose for me would come 3rd.
Your channel is one of the reasons Im still alive.
"Minuet in G Major" the is same melody that is used in the pop song "Lover's Concerto" (originally performed by The Toys) with a slight difference in the time signature.
Great video
Glad I found you. 🎶❤️
Thanks Lee you are fablous
I love the way you explaining and also make it easy to understand could you please explain fast reading
I love Clementi…I’ve been playing that piece for a year and had no idea I was playing it too slow! I have some work to do…
