Hal LeonardElton John Greatest Hits For Easy Piano
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Simplified piano arrangements of Elton John hits in one volume. For players past a first method book who want recognizable songs to play.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adult beginners who want familiar songs instead of exercises
- Students who need playable repertoire between method book levels
- Casual players comfortable reading both treble and bass clef
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Complete beginners who don't yet read both clefs
- Advanced pianists — the arrangements are deliberately thinned out
- Anyone wanting exact transcriptions of the studio recordings
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
Greatest hits, one volume
Many songs in a single book, so cost per song is far lower than buying single-song sheets.
Detail 03
Two-hand notation on two staves
You need bass clef, not just melody. Lead-sheet and chord-chart players will have to adjust.
Detail 04
Printed songbook
No audio, no backing tracks, no download. Tempo and timing are entirely on you.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How hard is "easy piano" really?
Above a first method book, well below the original recordings. Two hands, straightforward rhythms, limited stretches, few fast runs. Expect to read slowly at first and speed up.
02Are these in the original keys?
Easy piano editions are arranged for playability, so keys and voicings can be changed. Play along with a record and it may not match.
03Do I need to read music?
Yes. It's standard notation on two staves. There are no letter names, numbers, or tab to fall back on.
04Is this suitable for a young student?
Fine once they read both clefs comfortably and can coordinate hands. For a first-year player, the rhythms and hand independence will be a stretch.
