Possibility by Lykke Li — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Possibility” by Lykke Li 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 60 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 great way to develop your sense of expressive, slow playing — which is honestly harder than it sounds. At 60 BPM with just four chords (G, C, Em, Am), the technical demands are low, but the musical challenge is real: every note has space around it, so uneven timing or clumsy transitions will stand out. Your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern, meaning you'll often sustain or repeat a single low note while your right hand moves through the melody above it. Start hands-separate and really lock in that left-hand pulse before combining. The trickiest moment for most students is the shift between Am and C — keep your fingers close to the keys and move the whole hand shape rather than reaching finger by finger. Once you're comfortable, add sustain pedal sparingly to enhance the melancholic feel without muddying the sound. Lift and re-press the pedal cleanly on each chord change. This is the kind of piece that trains you to play slowly with control and intention, a skill that makes everything else you learn sound more polished.
