Beauty And The Beast — Easy Piano Notes for Beginners
51 people have learned this song
Learn "Beauty And The Beast" on piano with easy notes — perfect for absolute beginners. Large color-coded note names show exactly which keys to press. No music reading required. Key of G, 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a lovely way to develop smooth chord transitions in your left hand — you'll move through nine different chords, but the walking bass pattern gives you a steady, predictable rhythm to anchor against, so lean into that consistency.
At 80 BPM you have breathing room, but watch the shift from Dsus4 to D7: that suspension wants to resolve cleanly, so practice lifting just the one finger rather than reshaping your whole hand.
The Am7-to-D7 movement comes up often and is worth drilling on its own until it feels automatic.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first, getting the walking bass comfortable before layering in the melody.
Once you put them together, keep your tempo honest — no speeding up during easy stretches.
Use light pedal to connect the longer melodic phrases, but change it with each new bass note so things don't blur.
This piece will genuinely solidify your ability to voice seventh chords smoothly, a skill you'll use in everything from jazz to pop ballads going forward.
