Free Lead Piano Sheet
Morning Has Broken
Free lead piano sheet "Morning Has Broken"!
This beautiful free vocal sheet music is available for download as:
- lead sheets in the keys of F, G, A, Bb, C, and also as
- a couple of easy versions for beginners, with the melody shared between the two hands.
This is the first beginner version, with added chord symbols for a duet partner:
Please scroll down the page for the links to the printable PDFs.
I like to use this kind of "note-reader" level song as a written homework assignment for my beginner students. Their job is to write in the names next to each note.
A bonus with this kind of "homework assignment" is that they get to CHOOSE from several songs which one they want, and they usually end up PLAYING it, even if I have not asked them to do so!
This beautiful old song with its lovely verses became a pop hit many years ago when Cat Stevens recorded it.
Here is an audio of the piece on Teaser & The Firecat . In the video below is Cat Stevens himself in 1976 on tour; this was shortly before he decided to adopt Islam and change his name to Yusuf Islam:
I like to give my students lead sheets every few weeks, allowing them to choose what they like, and adding their own chord stylings to them. Visit
- the "lead sheets" page,
- "Ode to Joy," or
- "Mary Had a Little Lamb," to see what students can do with chords in the left hand.
It's amazing what they like to play when given a choice!
Morning Has Broken appeals to the kids who like "pretty" music, and who like to sing along as they play.
For very young beginners, here is an easy-to-read version with lettered notes:

I used to teach piano lessons, and then did not for a number of years. Now, suddenly, I have three beginning students and I am thrilled.
I was looking for printable scales and found your wonderful website. Thank you so much. I know this will be a big help to me and my students.
Cathy:
I recently purchased your arrangement of The Moldau (a longtime favorite of mine).
I wasn't sure if any of my students would be interested in it, but to my amazement 3 of my students LOVE it. Thank you so much for making your great arrangement.
