Lush Life — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

308 people have learned this song

Watch "Lush Life" by Zara Larsson 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, 90 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement sits in a comfortable mid-tempo groove at 90 BPM, but the real challenge is nailing the syncopated right-hand rhythm that drives the vocal melody — you'll find yourself landing between beats more often than on them, so start by clapping the rhythm alone before adding notes.

Your left hand will cycle through a repeating chord pattern that should feel predictable once you've got the shapes under your fingers, but watch the transitions closely; moving smoothly between chords while your right hand syncopates is where most students stumble.

Practice hands separately at around 60 BPM first, then bring them together only once each hand feels automatic.

When you combine them, loop the chorus until the coordination clicks — that's the section where the rhythmic push-and-pull is trickiest.

Use a light touch on the sustain pedal, changing it with each new chord to keep things clean.

This is a fantastic song for training your internal sense of offbeat phrasing, a skill that transfers to almost every pop piece you'll play next.
