Firework — Easy Piano Notes for Beginners
12 people have learned this song
Learn "Firework" on piano with easy notes — perfect for absolute beginners. Large color-coded note names show exactly which keys to press. No music reading required. Key of G, 126 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to lock in five essential pop chords — G, C, Em, Am, and F — over a steady pedal bass in your left hand.
That pedal pattern means your left hand mostly holds or repeats a single low note while your right hand moves through the chord changes, so start hands-separate: get your right hand comfortable with each shape before adding the bass.
The transition to watch is any move involving F, since it's the one chord borrowed from outside the key of G and it'll feel slightly unfamiliar under your fingers.
At 126 BPM the energy is brisk, so slow it down to around 90 first and loop the verse progression until the changes feel automatic.
Once you bring it up to tempo, you'll notice the momentum almost carries you — and you'll walk away with a rock-solid feel for the I–V–vi–IV pattern that powers half of modern pop.
