Four first piano songs.
Start with a few familiar notes. Build a steady phrase. Then bring your other hand into the music.

When to move on
Choose a short passage, slow it down, and repeat it until the rhythm feels steady. Try once without watching the falling notes, then check the score. You can return to an earlier piece whenever the next step feels too large.
Note labels help you connect staff and keyboard. Gradually turn them off as you recognize the notes. A MIDI keyboard gives direct note input on supported browsers; you can also listen and explore without one.
