Carl FischerBeginning Piano Solos
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A graded collection of solo piano pieces for early players — for a student ready to move past drills into music that sounds finished.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Early students who want playable pieces, not only exercises
- Adults returning to piano after years away
- Teachers building a recital list for first-year students
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who hasn't started reading standard notation yet
- Intermediate players — the level sits below sonatina repertoire
- Shoppers after one specific song rather than a graded set
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Beginning level
Set at the early-reader end, so it slots in after a first method book rather than replacing one.
Detail 03
Method book
Teaching-oriented, so pieces are sequenced by rising difficulty rather than grouped by mood or composer.
Detail 04
For piano
Any 88-key acoustic or digital works. Weighted keys make the written dynamics reachable in a way unweighted ones don't.
Detail 05
$26.99
Priced as a bound collection, so cost per piece is low if you actually work through most of it.
Detail 06
Print edition
Paper score — plan page turns, and expect it to fight the music desk until the spine breaks in.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You need an instrument with at least 61 keys; none is included
- 02Check the level against what you play now so pieces aren't too easy
- 03Bench height changes hand position more than most beginners expect
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What level is this for?
Early players who read basic notation. It sits after a first method book and before sonatinas and standard intermediate repertoire.
02Do I need a full-size piano?
Any 88-key acoustic or digital works. A 61-key keyboard covers most early solos but runs out of range at the extremes.
03Is it a method book or a collection of pieces?
Effectively both. Solo pieces sequenced for teaching, so you're playing music while the difficulty steps up gradually.
04Can I use these for a recital?
Yes. Solo pieces graded for early players are what most first recitals need. Pick one you can play from memory.
