Whether you have a grand piano or a small, electronic keyboard, you can teach your child many easy piano songs for kids. It doesn’t matter how much your child knows about music either; they’re sure to enjoy learning with the fun songs on this list.
Before you get started, you’ll need to learn the location of the notes on the piano. Start by finding C – it’s the white key directly to the left of the group of two black keys.
Using only the white keys, the notes continue in alphabetical order up to G, and then they restart at A. So you can label them (C, D, E, F, G, A, B) if you’d like with stickers or different colors to make it easier for your child.

If You’re Happy and You Know It
This is one of the most fun piano songs for kids. The song gives your little musician the chance to clap and dance while playing. The only tricky part of this song is the inclusion of B flat.
This note is the small black key located directly between the A and B keys. If you are using a toy piano or xylophone, you may not have this key and can leave it out.
