The song is in the key of D at 200 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

  • 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.
