Pero Te Extraño by Andrea Bocelli — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Pero Te Extraño” by Andrea Bocelli 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 88 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.

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 fantastic workout for your jazz-flavored chord vocabulary — you'll move through twenty-one different voicings including maj7s, maj9s, and dominant 7ths, which means your left hand needs to stay relaxed and shift shapes efficiently. At 88 BPM, you have breathing room, so use it: focus on smooth voice leading between chords like Amaj9 to Bbmaj9, keeping common tones held while only moving the fingers that need to move. The key of C# puts you on a lot of black keys, which actually helps your hand find a natural curved position — lean into that. I'd suggest drilling the chord progression hands-separate first, looping any four-bar section where you feel a hitch, especially around the D#7 to G#7 transitions. Use the sustain pedal to connect the melancholic mood, but change it cleanly with each new harmony. This is the piece that'll make extended jazz chords feel like home under your fingers.
