In The Night by The Weeknd — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “In The Night” by The Weeknd 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.

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.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build fluency with minor-key chord shapes — your right hand will cycle through Am, Dm7, Em7, and Fmaj7 quite a bit, so getting comfortable stretching into those seventh voicings early will pay off. Your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern, meaning you'll anchor on one note while the right hand moves through changes above it; keep that left hand relaxed and steady so it doesn't drift in volume. At 112 BPM the tempo has a gentle push, but watch the transition from Fmaj7 to G — that's where most students hesitate because the hand shifts position quickly. I'd suggest learning the chord progression hands-separate first, then loop just that Fmaj7–G–Am turnaround at half speed until it feels automatic. Once you can land those changes without looking down, bring both hands together and gradually nudge the tempo up. This is the piece that'll lock in your minor seventh shapes so solidly you'll recognize them instantly in dozens of other songs.
