Need a place to (Cmaj7)hide, but I can’t (Em)find one (Bm)near.

Lovely by Billie Eilish & Khalid — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Lovely” by Billie Eilish & Khalid 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 G at 115 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 build your left-hand independence through an Alberti bass pattern — that broken-chord technique where your fingers roll low-high-middle-high beneath the melody. Start hands-separate at around 80 BPM until that left-hand pattern feels automatic, especially under the Bm and Cmaj7 chords, where your fingers need to stretch a bit wider than the simpler Em and C shapes. The trickiest moment is the transition from Bm to C: your left hand has to shift position quickly while keeping the Alberti rhythm unbroken, so loop just that two-chord change until it's smooth. Once you bring hands together, resist speeding up to the full 115 BPM too soon — the sad, haunting quality of this melody actually sounds better when you stay relaxed and even. Light sustain pedal on each chord change will help everything sing. This is the piece that'll make Alberti bass feel like second nature.
