Stay The Night by Zedd — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Stay The Night” by Zedd 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 120 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

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 sits in B♭ minor with six chords that are mostly flat-key shapes, so your hands will live on a lot of black keys — get comfortable there first. Your left hand plays an octave bass pattern, which means stretching consistently between root notes; if octaves are still new for you, isolate that hand at around 80 BPM until the reach feels relaxed, not forced. The trickiest transitions are moving between the A♭ and B♭m shapes and catching that C major chord, which briefly pulls your fingers onto all white keys before jumping back to flats — loop that specific change until it's automatic. Pedal generously but refresh it with every chord change to keep the romantic feel clean rather than muddy. Start hands-separate, then combine at a slow tempo before pushing toward 120. This is the piece that'll make flat-key chord progressions feel like home to your fingers.
