Firework — Classic Piano Sheet Music
12 people have learned this song
Read "Firework" by Katy Perry in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of G. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 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.

About “Firework”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Firework"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature G. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Firework" by Katy Perry played in?
- Firework is arranged in the key of G on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Firework"?
- The arrangement plays at 126 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Firework" easy to play on piano?
- This is an advanced arrangement. We recommend breaking it into sections and using the speed control to drill harder passages.
- Can I download sheet music for "Firework"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Firework"?
- "Firework" was originally performed by Katy Perry. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "Firework"?
- This arrangement uses 5 chords: Am, C, Em, F, G.
- What other songs by Katy Perry can I play here?
- Try "BY THE GRACE OF GOD", "CHAINED TO THE RHYTHM", "DARK HORSE". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Firework" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature G, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 126 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
