I Will Always Love You — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

18 people have learned this song

Watch "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston 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 Db, 120 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement sits in Db major, so your hands will live mostly on black keys — get comfortable with that terrain before you speed up.

Your left hand uses a pedal bass pattern, meaning you'll anchor on one low note while the harmony shifts above it, which sounds gorgeous but demands independent hands, so practice them separately first.

With fifteen chords including Bbm7, Cm7, and Ebmaj7, the trickiest moments are the transitions between extended shapes — particularly moving from Cm7 to Dbmaj7 and navigating the key-change passages where chords like F, C, and Gm suddenly appear under your fingers.

Loop those modulation sections at half tempo until the new hand positions feel automatic.

At 120 BPM the ballad phrasing is spacious, so resist rushing; let each chord breathe.

This is the piece that will genuinely solidify your confidence with major seventh voicings and smooth chromatic chord movement.
