In My Life — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
21 people have learned this song
Watch "In My Life" by The Beatles 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, 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a lovely way to settle into a steady left-hand oompah pattern — bass note, chord, bass note, chord — at a relaxed 80 BPM that gives you time to breathe.
Your right hand carries a singing, vocal-style melody, so aim for smooth, connected lines and resist the urge to rush phrases.
The real challenge here is the chord variety: nine chords means your left hand will meet some unexpected shapes like Dm, C, and G that sit outside the key of A.
These borrowed chords can trip you up mid-flow, so isolate those transitions hands-separate first and loop them until the jumps feel automatic.
Watch the move from F#m into A7 especially — keep your thumb anchored as a pivot.
Once the left hand feels steady on its own, layer the melody back in at half tempo.
This is the piece that'll make borrowed chords feel like old friends instead of strangers.
