Taking your first piano lesson is an exciting and important milestone in the life of many children. Making the experience affordable is the goal of every parent. Below you’ll find links to many of the best free piano sheet music arrangements. Since note naming is a big goal in the beginning I’m also going to include links to a few worksheets and flashcard packs.
Primer Level
Primer level music is the place to start if your kids are beginning at age 4-6. Many pieces in this set are five-finger pieces with one note at a time or very easy harmonies.

Note Name Worksheets and Flashcards
One of the first goals for beginning piano students should be learning note names. Without a knowledge of note names the music page will mean little to them, and it will be a challenge for teachers to get them to look at the music – a habit they should embrace early on. Below are several free printable worksheets and wonderful flashcards (paid products) to get your young music students off on the right foot.
