Beginner piano pieces (level 1)
Level 1 is where everyone starts: short pieces with a simple melody, usually one note at a time in the right hand and a few long notes or none at all in the left. Most stay inside one hand position, so you can learn them without reading fluently yet. Many famous tunes are here as simplified arrangements, so you can play a recognisable Canon in D or Ode to Joy in your first weeks and come back to the fuller version later.
