Claire De Lune — Piano Lead Sheet
47 people have learned this song
"Claire De Lune" lead sheet with chords, melody, and lyrics. Play the melody while following chord symbols above. Perfect for sing-along or accompaniment. Key of C, 81 BPM.
This arrangement gives you a beautiful workout in smooth chord transitions — your left hand will cycle through thirteen different chord shapes including Am7, Dm7, G7, and a few moody ones like Cm and Fm that add Debussy's signature color.
At 81 BPM the tempo is gentle, but don't let that fool you: the real challenge is connecting chords like G7 to Cm or E to Am without audible gaps, so practice those specific transitions hands-separate and painfully slow before you string whole phrases together.
Watch your right hand's melody notes over the seventh chords — it's easy to rush through the sustained moments because they feel "empty," but that space is where the peaceful mood lives, so lean into it.
If you find the Fm or Cm shapes awkward, loop just those two bars ten times until your fingers stop hesitating.
This is the piece that will teach you to voice minor seventh chords with real confidence, and once that clicks, you'll carry it into everything else you play.
