Fly Me To The Moon by Frank Sinatra — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Fly Me To The Moon” by Frank Sinatra 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 126 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.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement walks you through one of jazz's most essential chord progressions — the ii–V–I — over and over, so by the end your hands will know Am7 to Dm7 to G7 to C almost on autopilot. Your left hand plays block chords, which keeps things manageable, but watch the chromatic passing chords like Db7, Eb7, and Ebdim7; those shapes will sneak up on you if you haven't isolated them first. Start hands-separate at around 80 BPM and really nail each chord change before speeding up — at 126 BPM you won't have time to search for notes. Loop the bridge separately, since that's where the trickiest transitions cluster. When two chords share common tones, keep those fingers planted and move only what needs to move. Get this one smooth and you'll have a rock-solid foundation for practically any jazz standard that comes next.
