What skills do I need for medium piano songs?

Hand independence (each hand doing different things), comfort with basic chord shapes (major, minor, 7th), ability to read at least chord symbols if not full notation, and steady tempo control.

How long does a medium song take to learn?

For an intermediate player, expect 1–2 weeks of consistent practice (15–30 min/day) to play a medium song confidently. Some songs with tricky rhythms or chord changes may take longer.

What's a good first medium-level song?

"A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri and "Someone Like You" by Adele are popular intermediate stepping stones — well-known melodies with manageable chord progressions.
