I Will Sing by Don Moen — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “I Will Sing” by Don Moen 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 110 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 way to develop your sus-chord fluency — moving between C and Csus2, or G and Gsus2, means your fingers need to lift and replace single notes cleanly while keeping the rest of the chord anchored, so practice those shifts slowly in isolation until they feel effortless. At 110 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the melancholic ballad feel demands smooth, connected playing, so keep your sustain pedal changes precise — lift and re-press right on each chord change to avoid muddy overlap, especially when moving from F to G where the bass jumps. Your left hand uses a mixed bass pattern, so expect some measures with single roots and others with broken intervals; drill hands separately first, then combine at around 80 BPM before working up to tempo. Watch the Am to Em7 transition — your pinky tends to arrive late on that one, so loop it. This is the piece that will make sus voicings feel like second nature in your playing.
