Trouble by Ray LaMontagne — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Trouble by Ray LaMontagne 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 84 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

  • 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.
