I'm a very lazy beginner on the piano and know only a handful of songs, I'm generally too lazy to learn new ones. However, I got bored with those and started to vary the rhythm, speed, loudness, lots of small things, and those simple songs can take on moods between depressing and happy, without changing a single key. This was quite a rewarding experience.
