Well, I'm going through Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course, and the songs are a tad boring.

But basically, does anyone have some simple-ish songs that can help me get more comfortable with the piano, get my hands moving to different positions, but not too advanced.
I'm currently stuck on another peice I'm learning, cause I just can't get my hands around, so I thought it'd be better to learn something more simpler.

Any links to sheet music or something?
Also, would be nice if the songs are quite well known, or known aha.

Thanks alot.
I reccomend "La Fille Aux Cheveux de Lin", or "Girl with the Flaxen Hair" by Claude Debussy.

It's not a technically difficult piece (some people would argue about the interpretation difficulty), but at the same time it will help you improve in certain areas if you can get it down.

It doesn't hurt that it sounds nice, and is generally recognizable.

The sheet music is available at sheetmusicfox.com.

I know what you mean about Alfred. You've not said whereabouts you are in the series, but you might like to take a look at
Easy Classics to Moderns - Denes Agay or his Classics to Moderns series. These are original compositions, graded in difficulty. I've only tackled a few but the compilations seem well regarded, and I am being introduced to composers I had never heard of.
