First — Classic Piano Sheet Music
4 people have learned this song
Read "First" by Lauren Daigle in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of C. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with sustained, expressive playing in the key of C.
Your left hand follows an oompah bass pattern — root note, then chord — so keep that motion steady and relaxed; think of it as a gentle rocking rather than a bounce.
The chord set looks bigger than it is: F, Fmaj7, and F6 all share the same left-hand root, and Csus4 is just your C chord with one finger sliding up to F — practice that tiny shift until it feels automatic.
Watch the G-to-Am transition especially; at 120 BPM it comes faster than you'd expect in a peaceful ballad.
I'd suggest hands-separate first, looping the verse pattern in your left hand until it's effortless, then layering in the melody.
Once both hands sync on that oompah groove, use light sustain pedal to connect the phrases without muddying them.
This is the piece that will lock in your sense of how small chord variations — like Csus4 resolving back to C — add real emotional color with almost no extra effort.

About “First”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "First"?
- 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 C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "First" by Lauren Daigle played in?
- First is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "First"?
- The arrangement plays at 120 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "First" easy to play on piano?
- Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
- Can I download sheet music for "First"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "First"?

- What chords are used in "First"?
- This arrangement uses 8 chords: Am, C, Csus4, F, F6, Fmaj7, G, Gpow.

- Try "LOVE LIKE THIS", "TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS", "O' LORD". 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 — "First" 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 C, 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 120 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.
