Woman by John Lennon — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Woman” by John Lennon 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 Ab at 85 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

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 will really stretch your chord vocabulary — you're navigating 23 different chords across what amounts to two key centers, Ab and B, so expect a modulation that shifts everything up a half step partway through. Your left hand plays a block bass pattern, which keeps things rhythmically straightforward, but the real challenge is nailing those smooth transitions between extended shapes like Ebmaj9, Cm7, and Fm7 without hesitation. Start hands-separate and slow — maybe 60 BPM — and loop the four bars around each key change until the new chord shapes sit naturally under your fingers. Watch the sus4 chords (Bbsus4, Ebsus4, Bsus4): hold the suspension long enough before resolving, because rushing through them kills the melancholic pull that makes this song breathe. Use pedal generously but change it cleanly on every chord switch to avoid mud. This is the piece that'll make jazz-flavored extensions like maj9 and m7 feel like home in your hands.
