[Western Music] Challenge Yourself with Piano and Vocals! Introducing Unforgettable Classics with Sheet Music

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “It’d be so cool to casually do a sing-and-play performance in English…”?

In this article, we’ll introduce classic Western songs that are perfect for anyone wanting to try sing-and-play, along with sheet music that includes recommended accompaniment parts.

Songs in English can feel intimidating at first, but if you build up your practice in stages—start with just the bass line and vocals, then add right-hand chords once you’re comfortable—you may find you can master foreign songs more smoothly than you expect.

Use the performance videos as a reference, and take the plunge—give it a try!
