Another One Bites The Dust by Queen — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Another One Bites The Dust by Queen 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 G at 110 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 your rhythmic confidence, because the whole song lives and dies by its groove — if your timing is locked in, everything else falls into place. Your left hand carries a repeating bass pattern that drives the dramatic feel, so start hands-separate and loop that figure at around 80 BPM until it feels automatic. Once it's steady, layer in your right-hand chords. Most of the shapes — Am, Em, G, C — sit naturally under your fingers, but watch the shift to B and F#m; both introduce black keys that can catch you off guard if you're cruising on autopilot. Pause and isolate those transitions specifically. The syncopation at 110 BPM is moderate but unforgiving if you rush, so count out loud early on and resist speeding up. This is the song that'll really train your internal metronome.
