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!

"Back in the 70's, when I was a kid, my mother had an alarm clock that played Für Elise every single morning to wake us up to prepare me to go to school. I have only recently started to play piano. Needless to say, I will NEVER play this music!"
