Lyrics

I see trees of green,

red ro ses too,

I see them bloom

for me and you, and I think to my self,

what a won der world.

I skies of blue,

and clouds of white,

bright bless ed days,

dark sa cred nights, and I think to my

what a won der ful world.

What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “What A Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong 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 C at 104 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.
