Beauty And The Beast — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
50 people have learned this song
Watch "Beauty And The Beast" by Alan Menken 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 G, 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a lovely way to develop smooth chord transitions in your left hand — you'll move through nine different chords, but the walking bass pattern gives you a steady, predictable rhythm to anchor against, so lean into that consistency.
At 80 BPM you have breathing room, but watch the shift from Dsus4 to D7: that suspension wants to resolve cleanly, so practice lifting just the one finger rather than reshaping your whole hand.
The Am7-to-D7 movement comes up often and is worth drilling on its own until it feels automatic.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first, getting the walking bass comfortable before layering in the melody.
Once you put them together, keep your tempo honest — no speeding up during easy stretches.
Use light pedal to connect the longer melodic phrases, but change it with each new bass note so things don't blur.
This piece will genuinely solidify your ability to voice seventh chords smoothly, a skill you'll use in everything from jazz to pop ballads going forward.
