Always Remember Us This Way by Lady Gaga — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Always Remember Us This Way” by Lady Gaga 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 66 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.

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 develop expressive control at a slow tempo — 66 BPM feels spacious, but keeping your rhythm steady without rushing through held notes is a real skill. Your left hand uses a pedal bass pattern, meaning you'll anchor on a single low note while chords shift above it, so focus on keeping that bass smooth and connected. Five of your six chords sit naturally in the key of C, but watch out for the B♭ — it's a borrowed chord that adds emotional weight, and your fingers may hesitate the first few times you reach for it. Practice the G to Gsus4 resolution separately until the fourth-finger stretch feels automatic. I'd suggest hands apart first, looping the verse until transitions feel effortless, then layering hands together. This is the song that'll train you to make simple chords sound genuinely moving through touch and timing alone.
