If you've been hard at work practicing your piano skills, why not show them off a little? These solo pieces put the beauty and versatility of the piano on full display.
Alone at the piano. Whether playing for yourself or for an audience, it's a wonderful place to be. All you need is the right music.
A great piano solo should be one that was written specifically for the piano. Of course, this includes the countless Classical pieces, and we have another article to give you a solid grounding in the genre. But if you want to play solo piano songs from pop, rock or jazz styles, there is so much more at your fingertips.
Here, we go through ten examples of piano songs available in the flowkey app , and give you a way to get yourself to the next level of solo piano: improvising.
This pure, innocent love song was Elton John's first hit and it would be hard to find someone who can't identify it from the first few notes of the opening. Famously, the words were written at his mum's kitchen table by his lyrical partner Bernie Taupin.
An equally distinctive opening melody, but a little faster and trickier to master. It's worth it to nail down this uplifting song with a message about lost love and the lengths we will go to get it back.
This walking-down-the-aisle favorite was written by Pachelbel as chamber music in the late 1600s, but lost popularity for centuries. It was rediscovered in the 1960s, and since then, the distinctive recurring progression has been taken on countless forms, while the original version can be heard at some point during many weddings.
This isn't just a song. It is the ultimate rock opera. A six-minute suite that goes from a piano ballad, to full operatic interlude, into a full-on rock section before the reflective coda. It might take a while to learn this, but it will be worth it to feel the spirit of the late great Freddie Mercury playing to a stadium
You will probably know this hit from Norah Jones, but it was written and released by Jesse Harris, a member of her band, before they even met. There are strong jazz and blues influences in Jones' melting, luxurious version, so this can form a great bridge between pop and our next selection of songs...
These are an important part of any serious piano repertoire, and a great way to ease yourself into a looser jazz style, especially if you want to try your hand at improvising.
Mancini wrote this piece to accompany the film of the same name, with the animators creating the action around the specific accents and features in the music. The result is a simple, playful theme that is often taught to starting pianists as an easy way into jazz.
Originally featured in the musical comedy "Whoopee!", we know this better as sung by Nina Simone, The High Priestess of Soul. This is the version that begins with the iconic descending back-and-forth piano riff, and shuffles along through a progression of jazz chords.
An example from the more exotic side of jazz, with influences from latin and swing. Duke Ellington himself preferred to think of his music as "beyond category". But it's not beyond your abilities. It's tough, but you can do it.
This is a more low-key choice. A lonesome piece that evokes falling leaves, or the interior of a smokey piano bar.
This is cheating a little as the melody for this was originally played on the saxophone, but there are plenty of classic piano versions. Play this to expand your idea of timing, with the rare five-four time. Plus, the blue-scale melody will give you a taste of what you can do when you start improvising.
Improvising allows you to move beyond other people's music entirely, to sit alone at the piano to play whatever comes out of your fingers, your own unique melodies.
Starting is not as hard as you might think. In the flowkey app we have a selection of courses called "Improvising with Chords". These courses take you step-by-step through basic accompaniments, to adding color with four-note chords, to more advanced accompaniment patterns, then finally to improvising in various pop styles.
Give it a try. Stick with it and you'll get to a place where you can keep playing for hours. No limits, letting loose on the piano and creating something truly your own.

Chords are the building blocks of music: Learn to master them and you'll be able to learn new songs even faster. Here's how.
If you can't find the right words to tell that special someone how you feel, say it with music instead. Play one of these romantic songs and they're sure to fall head over (piano) keys for you.
Think you need tons of practice before you can start playing great-sounding piano songs? Think again! These songs are easy for beginners to master, and sound impressive too.

In this post you will learn about 8 great piano solos. Obviously, music is subjective and a solo that resonates with me might not resonate with you as much. These solos are chosen to cover a wide range of styles and are intended to open doors to musical styles and artists you might not have otherwise discovered. They are also not presented in a particular order of importance. Enjoy!
Brad Mehldau established himself as a dominant force in the world of jazz music in the late 1990s and early 2000s. His mind-bending technique combined with a unique vision for the meeting places between tradition and innovation have produced some of the most intriguing piano music of the last hundred years.
His jazz piano solo on the song by English rock band Oasis is a memorable one. Full of darting rhythms and collaborative interplay amongst the musicians, this piece is a perfect example of how you can transform a song into a popular piano solo by twisting a few rules around.
Norah Jones is an award winning pianist, vocalist, and songwriter who has been a major force in music for about two decades now. The daughter of the famous sitar playing Ravi Shankar, Jones was named Jazz Artist of the Decade by Billboard for the 2000s. She has won nine Grammy Awards and sold more than 50 million records worldwide. Quite a list of accomplishments!
Her composition “Don’t Know Why” has become something of a standard in piano and jazz repertoire and is one of the most beautiful piano solo songs in recent memory. Her piano accompaniment on the verses and choruses is a great study in chord playing and her single note solo around 2:00 minutes in is a wonderful example of a simple and melodic solo that perfectly suits the vibe of the song.
Another formidable force in the history of jazz piano, Bill Evans was a major creative contributor to Miles Davis’s album Kind of Blue , the best selling jazz record of all time. Evans’ style was characterized by a uniquely compositional approach to improvisation and was informed as much by the jazz tradition as by composers Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy. His use of chords is often described as expressionistic.
After his tenure with Davis, Evans primarily performed in a trio setting and composed a number of pieces that have become standards in jazz repertoire. This piece, “Waltz For Debby”, is one such composition and is widely regarded as one of the best piano songs of all time. This recording is part of his iconic series of performances at the legendary Village Vanguard club in New York.
Red Garland was the pianist in Miles Davis’s quintet before the arrival of Bill Evans. His playing was heavily influenced by bebop and blues and he made great use of the block chord technique. The block chord technique is a style of chord playing where the melody is voiced at the top and bottom of the chord. Melody notes in a song that are chord tones are voiced with a major sixth chord. Melody notes that are a non-chord tone are voiced with fully-diminished 7th chords. For some added ear training , see if you can pick out when Garland plays a major sixth chord and when he plays a fully-diminished 7th chord!
Check out Garland’s beautiful solo on the jazz standard “Bye Bye Blackbird” for a classic example of block chord playing. Garland’s chord changes are so smooth, he makes it sound nearly effortless. If you are interested in learning how to play chord solos in this style, Red Garland’s playing is a great place to start.
Ray Manzarek was the keyboardist for the famous Los Angeles rock band The Doors. The Doors began in 1965 when Manzarek met Jim Morrison while they were both students at UCLA Film School. They went on to record 6 albums in 5 years and became one of the most successful bands of the era with many songs that are still considered classics.
Manzarek primarily performed on organ in The Doors and his style has since helped to define an entire genre and approach. His psychedelic, modal organ solo on this track “Light My Fire” is a great example of the possibilities of the organ and provides much we can learn and apply to the study of the piano.
Alicia Keys is undoubtedly one of the most powerful creative forces of the last 40 years, at least. Her voice is instantly recognizable, her songwriting is extremely inspiring and emotional, and her piano style is well worth studying. A classically-trained pianist, Keys began composing songs by age 12 and was signed at 15 years old by Columbia Records.
This track “If I Ain’t Got You” is a classic of Keys’ repertoire and features a beautiful piano arrangement at the beginning and great, bluesy, RnB inspired chord playing throughout. If you are interested in learning more of this style, Alicia Keys “If I Ain’t Got You” is a great place to start! This song also makes a great solo piano piece.
Bruce Hornsby is an American songwriter and pianist who has had an interesting and prolific career. He draws from classical , jazz , bluegrass , folk , Motown , gospel , rock , blues , and jam band musical traditions. His recordings have been recognized with industry awards, including the 1987 Grammy Award for Best New Artist with Bruce Hornsby and the Range, the 1990 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album , and the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance .
His composition “The Way It Is” offers a wonderful example of how the piano can be used in rock and pop music. The opening piano riff is ear catching and melodically interesting and is one of the most famous solo piano pieces. Hornsby’s interjected chord stabs offer a satisfying punch. The main piano solo around 2:00 into the track is groovy and infectious and well worth a listen.
Robert Glasper is one of the newer exponents of the piano in the last 15 years or so. He has seamlessly fused the jazz traditions of Cedar Walton, Mulgrew Miller, and Herbie Hancock with hip hop, RnB, and rock into a cohesive and brilliant new form of fusion that has earned him multiple Grammy awards and nominations. Glasper is an active collaborator with a wide range of today’s most creative musical artists.
This recording “So Beautiful” is from a live performance at Capitol Studios. This track is a great example of his innovations in chord playing and single note soloing as well as an awesome display of interplay in a piano trio setting. If you can learn to emulate the style of Robert Glasper, you will be well on your way to becoming an excellent pianist!
Hopefully you have found something inspiring in these 8, great piano solos! Remember, music is a never ending journey; there is always something more to learn and always a new song or artist to discover! The key is to always be searching!
Speaking of piano solos, did you know that the Guiness World Record for the longest piano solo is held by the Canadian pianist Chilly Gonzalez? In 2009 Gonzales performed for an astonishing 27 hours, 3 minutes, and 44 seconds and performed over 300 songs! Can you imagine?
