2. Love Song<\/a> – Sara Bareilles\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you remember this being played endlessly on the radio way back in 2007? It\u2019s a fun and uplifting track that you won\u2019t be help singing along to. In fact, the whole first album, Little Voice, is packed with some pretty amazing piano pieces that are also worth your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Fallin\u2019<\/a> – Alicia Keys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

4. The Scientist<\/a> – Coldplay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Scientist is a bit of a sombre track, but it\u2019s a beautiful piece to play on the piano. Classic Coldplay had some amazing piano songs that are worth checking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. All of Me<\/a> – John Legend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

6. Someone Like You<\/a> – Adele<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

8. Havana<\/a> – Camila Cabello\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Learning to play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
