Hello,

I consider myself to have the skill of a grade 5 to 6 piano player. Can someone recommend a nice romantic-sounding pop ballad for me to learn? I want something that will be a bit challenging to learn, and make me sound like a really good piano player. :)

Thanks!

  Hellow by LIONEL RICHIE. Very romantic and round grade 5 -6 level.

I found these pieces on Virtual Sheet Music site by Gary Lamb.

I don't know what level these are, but they are marked "easy" and sound like they would be fairly easy to play.  I don't know if these are your style, but I like some of them.  I'm thinking about learning "A Walk in the Garden" myself.

Thanks for the replies. Does anyone know where I can find the sheet music for "Hello"?

I found a very nice version of Hello on youtube.
