Memory — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

Watch "Memory" by Andrew Lloyd Webber 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 Eb, 75 BPM.

Tip: Use the speed control to practice at 70% tempo first. Focus on tricky chord transitions before attempting the full arrangement.
