Dominique — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
6 people have learned this song
Watch "Dominique" by The Singing Nun 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, 168 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build your Alberti bass confidence — your left hand will roll through broken-chord patterns on G, C, D, and D7 shapes, and at 168 BPM that left hand needs to feel almost automatic before you add the melody.
Start hands-separate and slow it down to around 100 BPM, focusing on keeping your left-hand fingers close to the keys so you're not bouncing.
The right hand carries a cheerful, singable melody that sits comfortably in G major, so fingering is straightforward.
Watch the A7 chord when it appears — it introduces a C♯ that your left hand won't expect, and the move from A7 into D is the spot most students fumble the first few times, so loop that transition until it's smooth.
Once both hands feel easy alone, combine them in short four-bar phrases before playing end to end.
This is the piece that'll lock in your Alberti pattern so it feels like second nature going forward.
