The song is in the key of Bb at 120 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

  • 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.
