Let Me Down Slowly — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
113 people have learned this song
Watch "Let Me Down Slowly" by Alec Benjamin 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 E, 74 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with block chords in the key of E, where your left hand will sit comfortably around shapes like C#m, G#m, A, and B for most of the song.
The block bass pattern keeps your left hand steady—no fancy arpeggios—so focus on clean, even transitions between chord shapes.
Watch out for that C major chord: it's borrowed from outside the key and will feel like a surprising hand shift, so isolate any passage containing it and loop it slowly until the move feels automatic.
The B6 voicing is another one to drill on its own before playing through.
At 74 BPM you have breathing room, but don't rush—start even slower, hands separate, and lock in the rhythm before combining.
This is the piece that'll make your minor-chord transitions in sharp keys feel second nature.
