Sorry by Justin Bieber — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Sorry” by Justin Bieber 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 Bb at 180 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.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with just three chords — Bb, C, and Dm — while your left hand locks into a steady block-bass pattern that stays consistent throughout. At 180 BPM the pulse moves quickly, so start at half speed and let your fingers memorize the chord shapes before you chase the tempo. The trickiest moment is the Bb-to-C transition: your hand has to shift quickly without fumbling the landing, so loop just that two-chord move until it feels automatic. Keep your left hand relaxed and close to the keys — lifting too high between blocks will make you late. Once both hands feel solid separately, bring them together one four-bar phrase at a time rather than attempting the whole piece. Watch for the tendency to rush through the Dm sections; the sad mood of the song needs you to stay even and deliberate. By the time this clicks, you'll have a rock-solid feel for I–II–iii movement in Bb that carries into dozens of other pop songs.
