I Have A Dream — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
26 people have learned this song
Watch "I Have A Dream" by ABBA 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 Eb, 124 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with the key of E♭ major, where your left hand will settle into steady root-fifth and root-octave patterns across B♭, E♭, A♭, and F minor — shapes that sit naturally under your fingers once you commit the three flats to muscle memory.
At 124 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the right hand melody uses longer, lyrical phrases that need smooth legato, so focus on connecting notes cleanly rather than rushing to keep up with the beat.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first: get your left-hand chord changes automatic before adding the melody on top.
The trickiest spot for most students is the transition from the verse into the chorus, where the chord rhythm shifts slightly and your left hand needs to move quickly between A♭ and B♭ — loop just those two bars at half speed until they feel effortless.
Use the sustain pedal lightly, changing it with each new chord to keep things warm but not muddy.
This is the piece that'll really solidify your comfort playing in a flat key, which opens up a huge amount of pop repertoire down the road.
