From The Dining Table by Harry Styles — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “From The Dining Table” by Harry Styles 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 Ab at 94 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 sits in A♭ major at a gentle 94 BPM, which gives you room to breathe — but that walking bass pattern in your left hand is where the real challenge lives. You'll need to keep those bass notes steady and even while your right hand voices six chords, including a B♭m7 that asks you to stretch a bit and a C power chord that changes the color unexpectedly. Watch the transition from D♭ to E♭ especially — it's easy to rush that move and land late on the downbeat. I'd suggest learning the left-hand walking line alone first, getting it so automatic you don't think about it, then layering the right hand on top at around 70 BPM before bringing it up to tempo. Use sustained pedal through each chord change but lift cleanly on the transitions so the bass doesn't blur. This is the piece that will train your hands to truly operate independently — once you own that walking bass, you'll carry it into everything you play next.
