Hi,
I'm trying to learn to play piano. I have learned 'Let it be' from The
Beatles. What are more good popular music songs for beginner pianist?
And are those sheets available on the internet?
Beginner questions are the hardest to answer.. I assume you can read
sheets, so let me have a go: I also learned playing piano with the
Beatles. They're very good to understand harmonic progressions. and it's
easy to get enthusiastic about their songs - yesterday is melodic moll
with lots of "quart-sext vorhalt" (german translation) ; just put your
fingers on the keys and it will become obvious.. well kind of ;)
You may get a "Beatles-complete for piano" used-edition cheap on amazon.
If you're into jazz get the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Book .
or otherwise the "Blue-Album 76-70" (ISBN 0-7119-3618-8) - Books or
If you're interested in sharing sheets or tutorials on your piano quest
with other LAUs , have a preview at our upcoming wiki:

and contact me on LAD or off-list.
May I ask how you play the piano? Are you using sf2 sound-fonts on
qsynth with a midi keyboard? or dssi-synth with jack-midi ? or a plain
old /analog/ piano?
Thanks for your answer. I play piano using my Fatar sl 880 and
LinuxSampler with that nice piano sample from there website.
Yes I can read sheets, but my bass clef knowledge is not really developed.
I have search for some second hand Beatles songbooks (for piano), I
gonna buy one of them...
About the Real book for Jazz, can you download it somewhere?
I'm starting to learn Lilypond...
