Music Learning Resources

We put Ariana Grande’s Easy Piano Songbook to the test, and it’s clear this collection is designed to make music accessible for fledgling pianists. With 14 of her most beloved pop hits, each arranged for early-level players and accompanied by lyrics, it’s a fun and approachable way to explore familiar melodies. While the piano parts are simplified, they retain the essence of the originals, letting beginners and intermediates practice recognizable tunes without feeling overwhelmed. The inclusion of lyrics is a bonus, encouraging deeper engagement with the songs. However, we noticed that the arrangements lean toward basic chord progressions, which might feel underwhelming for more experienced players. Still, for those just starting out or looking to add a touch of pop flair to their practice, this songbook delivers a satisfying experience. It’s a great pick for casual learners but may not satisfy those seeking more complex musical challenges. Overall, it’s a charming resource for introducing piano students to the world of pop music.
