About “Broken Strings”
- Why does the accompaniment for "Broken Strings" show falling notes?
- Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
- What key is the piano accompaniment for "Broken Strings" by James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado in?
- The backing track is in B at 112 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
- Can I sing over "Broken Strings" with this accompaniment?
- Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
- Is this a karaoke version of "Broken Strings"?
- Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Broken Strings", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
- Can I use "Broken Strings" as a backing track for my instrument?
- Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
- Can I download the accompaniment for "Broken Strings"?
- Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.

- Can I use "Broken Strings" as a backing track for singing?
- Yes — this is the piano accompaniment for Broken Strings by James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado, with the chord notes falling visually so you can see exactly when each chord lands. Original key is B; transpose live to fit your voice.
- How is this different from the bar-sheet accompaniment?
- Same audio backing — different visualization. Falling notes show each chord note dropping in real time (like Synthesia), which makes the chord rhythm easier to feel. Use whichever view helps you stay on the beat.
