Music suggestions (for a beginner learning how to play with a keytar as his first instrument)

Just got this beauty some days ago:

Only learned two songs for now, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Gerudo Valley from Zelda OOT.

Any suggestions of game music (or any music for that matter) that isn't too hard to play would be greatly appreciated!

I guess there is no reason not to be extra ballsy if you don't even have the slightest idea of what you're getting into lol. Might as well jump in head first!

REAL AND TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!

Try fiddling around on the white keys for now and coming up with random melodies. U can't go wrong with the C Major scale. Also chords are made up by pressing typically 3 or more keys at the same time together. Keep in mind the distance between the keys. If they're too close together when u hit them at the same time, they'll sound a bit sour. Try to space things out

umm, i guess Earthbound/Mother 2 songs but just the main melodies part like Fourside, Eight melodies or Twoson for example
Tetris theme "A"!
...and Crazy frog would be fun and no too hard?

i think that's all the easy melodies suggestions i can think for the moment.

This is an amazing idea, although I'm on guitar but this is gonna be great for getting used to the strings

On the guitar smoke on the water is pretty easy

True, also a good suggestion. Learning a whole song can be daunting though, so learning quick little video game songs is a lot of fun and definitely more motivating.

Edit: To actually contribute something I can recommend the ocarina songs from OoT are really short and fun to wrap your head (and hands) around.
