Last First Kiss by One Direction — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Last First Kiss” by One Direction 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 Bb at 80 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 is a great way to get comfortable with four foundational chords in the key of B♭ — Bb, Dm, F, and C — at a relaxed 80 BPM that gives you plenty of breathing room. Your left hand follows an oompah bass pattern, meaning you'll alternate between a low root note and the chord above it in a steady back-and-forth; keep that motion light and even so it doesn't overpower the melody. The trickiest transition for most beginners is moving from Bb to C, because every note in the chord shifts — practice just that two-chord change slowly, hands separate, until it feels automatic. Once your left hand can run the bass pattern without you thinking about it, layer the right hand melody on top at half tempo before bringing it up to speed. Watch your dynamics through the romantic, legato phrases: let the melody sing above the accompaniment by pressing the right-hand keys slightly more firmly. This is the piece that will lock in your I–ii–IV–V movement in B♭, a pattern you'll meet again and again in pop music.
