A Broken Wing — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
7 people have learned this song
Watch "A Broken Wing" by Martina McBride in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of C, 102 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build your left-hand independence with an oompah bass pattern — that means your left hand plays a single bass note on beat one, then the chord on beat two, alternating steadily throughout.
At 102 BPM it's comfortably paced, but keep it slow at first so that bass-chord rocking motion becomes automatic before you layer in the right-hand melody.
Watch the Dm7 and Em7 shapes especially: those seventh chords can feel slippery if you're newer to them, so isolate each transition — C to Dm7, Em7 to Am — and loop it until the reach feels natural.
Use sustain pedal lightly, refreshing it with each new chord so the sad, open sound doesn't turn muddy.
Try hands-separate practice for the first few passes, then combine at half tempo.
This is the piece that'll make oompah feel like second nature in your playing.
