Hips Don't Lie — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
21 people have learned this song
Watch "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira 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 C, 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build your left-hand independence with an oompah bass pattern — your left hand alternates between a low root note and a higher chord chunk, giving the piece that bouncy Latin pulse at 100 BPM.
You're working with five chords (Am, Dm, Em, F, and G), and the trickiest transition is usually Am to Dm, where your hand needs to shift quickly without losing that steady bass rhythm.
Start hands-separate: get the left-hand oompah feeling automatic before adding the melody on top.
Once you combine hands, slow it down to around 70 BPM and loop the Am–Dm–G–Em sections until the chord changes feel effortless, then gradually bring it up to tempo.
Watch out for rushing during the energetic sections — keep your pulse locked in.
This is the piece that'll make oompah patterns second nature for you, and that skill transfers to dozens of Latin and pop songs ahead.
