Latika's Theme — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
23 people have learned this song
Watch "Latika's Theme" by A.R. Rahman 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, 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a beautiful way to develop your left-hand independence thanks to that walking bass pattern — your left hand needs to move steadily between chord roots and passing tones while your right hand floats a gentle melody on top, so start hands-separate until each feels automatic.
At 80 BPM you have breathing room, but watch the transitions into Am7 and Am9 specifically: that added ninth can feel unfamiliar under your fingers, so isolate those chord shapes and drill the switch from G or Gsus4 into Am9 until it's smooth.
Speaking of Gsus4 to G7, let your fourth finger release cleanly into the seventh — rushing that resolution is the most common stumble I see.
Use sustain pedal generously but change it with every new bass note to avoid mud.
Loop the trickiest four-bar phrase ten times before playing end to end.
This is the piece that'll make walking bass feel natural in your hands for everything you play next.
