Get It Together — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
9 people have learned this song
Watch "Get It Together" by India.Arie 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, 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for your chord vocabulary — sixteen distinct shapes including major sevenths, minor sevenths, and that ear-catching Aaug, so your right hand will be stretching into extended voicings like Bbmaj9 and C9 that demand precise finger placement.
Your left hand follows an octave bass pattern throughout, which sounds simple but requires steady independence while your right hand navigates all those chord changes.
At 100 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the real challenge is keeping your rhythm locked in during transitions between distantly related chords — moving from, say, Gm7 to E7 means reshaping your hand quickly without rushing the beat.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first, then looping the sections where the chord density is highest until the shapes feel automatic.
Slow the tempo to 70 BPM for those trouble spots and only speed up once transitions are smooth.
By the end, you'll have a genuinely solid grip on seventh-chord voicings that will carry you through dozens of R&B tunes.
