10000 Hours by Justin Bieber — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “10000 Hours” by Justin Bieber in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Eb at 90 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

Tips for parents & teachers

Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with the key of E♭, which means your hands will sit on a lot of black-white chord shapes — B♭, E♭, Cm, and A♭ will come up often, so spend a few minutes just blocking those chords with your right hand until the shapes feel automatic. At 90 BPM the tempo is relaxed, but watch for the gentle syncopation in the melody — notes land just ahead of or behind the beat, giving the song its laid-back pop feel, so count carefully rather than guessing. I'd suggest starting hands separate: get the left-hand bass pattern steady first, since it anchors everything, then layer the right-hand melody on top. The trickiest spot for most students is the transition between the verse and chorus, where the chord rhythm shifts — loop just those two bars until it's smooth. Use a touch of sustain pedal on chord changes to keep things warm but lift cleanly so it doesn't blur. This is the piece that'll lock in your comfort with flat-key chord progressions, and once you have it, every pop song in E♭ will feel familiar.
