Lyrics

Ti ny A ka Tom bo

Land ing on a pop py,

red.

Flut ter like a but ter fly, then move like a war rior sam u rai.

Shi ny in the sun, might y in the rain,

ti ny A ka tom bo ru by drag on fly.

Red

like ap ples in the sun; nim

bly dart ing on a breeze.

Awe

some in sim plic i ty.

Ti ny A ka tom bo you’re a maz ing to me.

Ti ny A ka tom

bo drag

on

fly

liv ing by my foun

tain

like a hap py prince.

Perched up on a wa ter lil ly, then dart ing out to catch a fly.

Shi ny in the sun,

might y in the rain,

ti ny A ka tom bo ru by drag on fly.

Red Dragonfly by Lynda Lybeck-Robinson — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Red Dragonfly” by Lynda Lybeck-Robinson 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 100 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.
