Tell me, prin cess, now when did you last let your heart de cide?

I can o pen your eyes,

A whole new world,

a new fan tas tic point of view.

No one to tell us no or where to go or say we’re on ly dream ing.

A whole new world,

a daz zling place I nev er knew.

But when I’m way up here it’s crys tal clear that now I’m in a whole new world with you.

A Whole New World by Alan Menken — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “A Whole New World” by Alan Menken 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 C at 88 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

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.
