Two Of Us by The Beatles — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Two Of Us by The Beatles 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 120 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.

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 get comfortable with borrowed chords — you'll mostly sit in G major territory with G, C, Am, and D7, but then Bb, Gm, and Dm pop up and ask your right hand to shift into unfamiliar shapes. Those are the spots to isolate first: loop the transitions into and out of Bb and Gm at half tempo until your fingers land without hesitation. Your left hand has a pedal bass pattern, so it stays relatively anchored — use that stability to keep your rhythm steady while your right hand navigates the chord changes. At 120 BPM the pace is forgiving, but don't rush through the D7-to-Gm movement; give yourself time to resettle your hand position. Practice hands separately for the first few passes, then combine once the shapes feel automatic. This is the piece that'll teach you to handle chromatic surprises without freezing up — a skill you'll use constantly from here on.
