I nev er (G)o pened my heart

to all the pos si (C)bil i ties.

Oh, I (Eb)know that some thing has changed; nev er felt this way.

And right here to night, this could (Eb)be (F)the (G)start of some thing (C)new.

It feels so (G)right to be here with (C)you, oh.

Start Of Something New by Zac Efron — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Start Of Something New” by Zac Efron 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 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.
