Love — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
30 people have learned this song
Watch "Love" by John Lennon 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 D, 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a beautiful exercise in keeping your left hand smooth and steady — the Alberti bass pattern rolls through each chord in broken intervals, so practice that hand alone first until it feels almost automatic at 80 BPM.
The real challenge here is the chromatic chord movement: shifting between D and C#m or C#7 means your fingers need to slide down just a half step cleanly, and the F natural chord will surprise your hand if you're settled into D major muscle memory, so isolate those two-bar transitions and loop them slowly.
Watch the move from F back to D especially — it's a wider jump and easy to fumble.
Your right hand carries a simple, lyrical melody, so once the left is secure, hands together should come quickly.
Use the sustain pedal lightly on each chord change to connect the bass notes without muddying them.
Keep everything legato and unhurried; the slow tempo is your friend, not a trap.
This is the kind of song that genuinely trains you to handle unexpected chromatic chords with confidence — once these shifts feel natural, you'll navigate far trickier progressions with ease.
