Let It Be — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

64 people have learned this song

Watch "Let It Be" 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 C, 64 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with the I–V–vi–IV chord progression in C, meaning your left hand will cycle through C, G, Am, and F shapes repeatedly — commit those four to muscle memory and you'll unlock dozens of other songs.

At 64 BPM the tempo is gentle, so use that breathing room to focus on smooth transitions rather than speed; the F chord shape tends to be the one that trips people up, so isolate the move from Am to F and loop it a few times until it feels automatic.

Start hands separate — get your right-hand melody steady first, then add the left-hand chords once the rhythm feels natural.

When you put hands together, watch for the tendency to rush into each new chord slightly early; trust the slow pulse and land each change right on the beat.

Pedal lightly on each chord change to keep things warm without blurring.

Once this feels comfortable, you'll have a rock-solid foundation for playing almost any pop ballad by ear.
