My Love, My Life by ABBA — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “My Love, My Life” by ABBA 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 68 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 beautiful exercise in expressive, unhurried playing — at 68 BPM, every note has room to breathe, which means sloppy timing or muddy pedaling will really show. Your right hand carries a smooth, lyrical melody that demands true legato, so focus on connecting each note with your fingers before you ever touch the sustain pedal. Your left hand moves through steady chord shapes — mostly triads and a few transitions between C, F, Am, and G — so practice those changes hands-separate until they feel automatic. The biggest stumbling point is rushing through the verses to reach the chorus; resist that urge and keep your pulse locked in. When you do add pedal, change it cleanly with each new chord to avoid harmonic blur. Try looping the chorus at half tempo first, nailing those left-hand voice-leading shifts. This is the piece that will genuinely refine your slow-ballad control and teach your hands to trust the space between notes.
