Do you want to build a snowman?Robert Lopez

“Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” is a song from Disney’s Frozen, released in 2013, which sparked a global Frozen craze.
In the film, Anna innocently invites her older sister Elsa—who refuses to go outside and has shut herself away in her room—saying, “Let’s build a snowman together like we used to and have fun!” It’s an adorable tune that warms listeners’ hearts with its bright, cheerful mood, so when playing it on the piano, it’s best to keep a positive tempo and a buoyant feel.
Beauty and the BeastAlan Menken

The theme song of the film Beauty and the Beast, which continues to captivate many with its beautiful story and whose live-action version was also a major hit.
It’s an emotional duet between Belle and the Beast, where multiple melodies intertwine and the music builds as it modulates.
For beginners, a simple arrangement that focuses only on the main melody and finishes before the modulation is recommended.
Once you can play the basic version, try challenging yourself with a left-hand part that has more depth and a score that continues into the modulation.
Aloha e komo maiDanny Jacob

Aloha E Komo Mai is the theme song for the movie Lilo & Stitch—a story about Lilo, a girl living in Hawaii, and Stitch, an adorable alien—and it’s also used in the TV series.
With its simple melody and rhythm, it’s very easy to remember and a great piece for beginner pianists to try.
“Aloha” is a Hawaiian greeting, and “E Komo Mai” means “welcome.” Imagine the laid-back atmosphere of tropical Hawaii and play it brightly and lightly!

He is the pirate.Hans Zimmer/Klaus Badelt

He’s a Pirate was composed as a song featured in the 2003 Disney film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
Its striking musical style, which perfectly matches the cool charisma of the protagonist Jack Sparrow, became a hot topic, and it remains highly popular even decades after the film’s release.
The bold, grand orchestral sound is wonderful, but if you can capture the crisp rhythms, the piece’s world can be fully expressed on the piano as well.
Imagine relentless, daring pirates and play with unbroken flow and vigor!
You can fly too!Sammy Cahn

It’s an insert song from the movie Peter Pan that gives energy and courage to listeners with the message, “If you believe, you can fly too!” Since a fairly wide-ranging melody is set over simple chords, it’s best to first get a feel for the right hand, and play the left hand by holding the chords or just playing the bass notes.
Once you can enjoy playing the melody notes and rhythm, try an arrangement that adds more movement to the left-hand accompaniment.
To capture the excitement of the original, gradually increase the tempo as you practice!
Let It GoRobert Lopez

This is the theme song from the film Frozen, which became a worldwide smash hit.
Many of you may remember how it was covered by countless media outlets day after day when the movie was released—something quite unusual for a film’s theme song.
Because the melody is deeply moving and spans a very wide vocal range, it may take some time at first to learn the right-hand positions.
Start by practicing with a simple, single-note arrangement, and then gradually challenge yourself with versions that use more notes so you can express the song’s grand scale.
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-BooMack David/Al Hoffman

This is the song used in the magical scene from the film Cinderella, notable for its lyrics filled with mysterious spell words, starting with the title “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo.” The melody has a lively rhythm and a fair number of notes, but since it moves mostly stepwise with few leaps, it’s approachable even for beginners.
Start by practicing an arrangement with a simple left-hand accompaniment so you can focus on the right hand’s movements, and once you’re comfortable, try sheet music where the accompaniment also includes rhythmic elements!
