Coming Home — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
1 person has learned this song
Watch "Coming Home" by Gwyneth Paltrow 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 A, 68 BPM.
This arrangement is a beautiful exercise in navigating borrowed chords — your left hand will move through fifteen different shapes, so expect the real challenge to be smooth transitions rather than speed.
At 68 BPM you have breathing room, but don't let that fool you; shifts like A to Ab or jumping into Fmaj9 and Dm7 demand that you know each voicing cold before connecting them.
Start hands-separate, drilling your left hand's block chords in four-bar chunks until the shapes feel automatic.
Then add the right-hand melody at half tempo, paying special attention to spots where the harmony suddenly darkens — those Am and F sections will want to trip up your fingers if you're still "searching" for the shape.
Use the sustain pedal gently to bridge gaps, lifting cleanly on each chord change so nothing muddies.
This is the piece that'll make borrowed chords feel like home to your hands.
