What are good songs to accompany myself with on piano?
I’m looking for songs to learn on piano to accompany myself singing. I already know a few (“Boston” by Augustana, “Speechless” by Lady GaGa, and a couple others), but I’d like to expand what I know.
Suggestions are welcome but please try to include a link to chords, a YouTube tutorial, sheet music, or something like that. Thank you!
If you want something for an audition piece then I recomend dream a little dream of me. It’s a quality audition piece to have, especially as a back up because it’s so flexible you can take in to consideration they said about you first piece and change it. (I know you didn’t ask about auditions)
It is also really good that’s it’s flexible in talent as well you can sing it plainly or you can get creative and make it really bluesy and Jazzy and get some good vocal expression in there.
here’s the sheet music

here’s the youtube tutorial

and here’s the most popular version along with lyrics just incase you don’t know the song, although I am sure you’ll at least recognise it
If you want something to perform or just to have fun with then I would say sweet child of mine, the guns and roses version, everyone knows the song and most people love it

finally if you want a real challenge singing wise then I would say sweetest dream areo smith there’s so many different versions on the paino from really simple to it’s just the basic tune to the complicated full version but the singing side of it is hard to master but can be done by anyone with a good range
