Lyrics

Right be fore hi ber na tion, bears have de ter mi na tion: Find some food and fat ten up.

Win ter’s al most here!

Time for sur vi val mode, a cave is the best a bode.

Bears must save their en er gy.

Rest all win ter, then they’ll be read y for spring to come!

Hun gry for food, yum yum!

Right af ter hi ber na tion bears have a cel e bra tion.

Spring is fi n’lly here!

Bear Determination by Jennifer Linn — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Bear Determination” by Jennifer Linn 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 132 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.
