Baby, Now That I've Found You by The Foundations — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Baby, Now That I've Found You” by The Foundations 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.

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 get comfortable with a wider chord palette while your left hand stays grounded in steady block bass — just root notes on the beat, nothing fancy, so you can focus your attention on smooth right-hand chord changes. The main thing to watch is the move to Fm: that A-flat will feel unexpected under your fingers since everything else sits naturally in C major, so isolate any passage containing Fm and loop it slowly until the shape is automatic. Similarly, the A major chord pops up as a colorful outsider — preview that transition a few times so you don't hesitate mid-phrase. At 116 BPM the tempo is brisk but not rushed; start around 90 BPM hands-together and bump it up in small increments. Once this clicks, you'll have real confidence handling borrowed chords like Fm and secondary dominants, which show up constantly in pop arrangements.
