She’s not a ny one.

She’s (D)not a ny one.

She’s not a ny one.

This page shows “Songbird” by Fleetwood Mac 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 132 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

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.
