Level 2: Left-hand chords for beginner piano
Level 2: the left hand joins in with chords on the bass staff, little finger on the C below middle C: C, F and G. The tune still sits in C position, and the right little finger stretches one key up to A. 16 of our 201 free pieces, grouped by type, each on its own page with full-size sheet music, a play button, practice notes and a short history. New to it? Read what C position is first.

Nursery rhymes 7
The rhymes children have sung for two or three hundred years: short, repetitive tunes with words everyone knows, which is exactly what a beginner needs. Most sit in the first levels, in C position, and fit on half a page.
Children's songs 5
Songs written for or taken over by children: school songs, play songs, counting songs and the ones sung on car journeys. A little longer than the nursery rhymes, often with a chorus, rests and pickup notes.
Folk songs 1
Traditional songs from Britain, Ireland, America, Europe and beyond, the tunes that were sung at home long before anyone wrote them down. They bring wider melodies, more left-hand chords and sometimes a minor key.
Spirituals 1
African-American spirituals of the nineteenth century, the songs behind gospel and jazz. Strong, singable melodies with a swing, usually built on just three chords.
Rounds 1
Tunes that work as a round: a second player or singer can start a bar or two later and the parts fit, because every bar sits on the same chord. Good for playing with a parent or a teacher.
Christmas carols 1
The carols and Christmas songs every child is asked to play in December, from Jingle Bells to Silent Night. All are written in C major (or A minor) around middle C; some need the hand to move or have a sharp or two, so they run all the way up to Level 6.
