Hello — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
61 people have learned this song
Watch "Hello" by Adele 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 E, 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build comfort with a five-chord set — Em, G, D, C, and Bm — that sits naturally under your fingers in the key of E minor.
Your left hand carries a walking bass pattern, so practice it alone first at around 60 BPM until the stepwise motion between chord roots feels smooth and automatic; the move from C up to D and then landing on Bm is the trickiest transition, so loop those three bars until your hand knows the distance without looking.
Your right hand plays simple chord shapes and melody, but watch the timing — at 80 BPM the pace is slow enough that rushing becomes the real danger, especially on held notes.
Use the sustain pedal lightly to connect the walking bass, lifting cleanly on each chord change so you don't muddy the harmony.
Once both hands feel secure separately, combine them in four-bar chunks starting from the verse.
The melancholic mood comes from letting those minor chords ring with patience, not force.
This is the piece that'll lock in your minor-key chord transitions and teach your left hand to walk independently — skills you'll use in dozens of songs after this one.
