Auf Uns by Andreas Bourani — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Auf Uns” by Andreas Bourani 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 D at 130 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 workout for coordinating an oompah bass pattern in your left hand — that means you'll alternate between a low bass note and a higher chord chunk, which gives the track its bouncy, upbeat drive at 130 BPM. Start hands-separate and get that left-hand pattern automatic before adding the right hand, because once you're juggling both at tempo, you don't want to be thinking about bass-note placement. Watch the shifts between D, Dsus2, and D6 — they share almost the same shape with just one note changing, so use anchored fingers and move only what needs to move. The Bm to Bm7 transition works the same way. Your trickiest moment will likely be moving cleanly from Asus4 to Bm at speed; loop that two-chord switch slowly until it feels boring, then bump the tempo up. Pedal lightly or not at all — the oompah pattern loses its punch if you blur it. This is the kind of song that genuinely builds your confidence with suspended and added-tone chords, so by the end you'll hear those colours instinctively, not just as note names on a screen.
