50s & 60s Piano Songs in the Key of E Major

E Major's four sharps (F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯) give it a rich, powerful sound. It's the natural key of the guitar, which means many rock and pop classics were originally written here. On piano, E Major requires confident use of black keys, making it intermediate territory — but the sonic payoff is worth the effort.

The golden age of popular music produced melodies that are just as beautiful today as when they were first recorded. These 50s and 60s classics have a timeless quality that makes them endlessly rewarding to play on piano. Below you'll find 15 hand-picked 50s & 60s piano songs in the key of E Major, selected from over 35 songs in our library.
