Memory β€” Easy Piano Notes for Beginners

16 people have learned this song

Learn "Memory" on piano with easy notes β€” perfect for absolute beginners. Large color-coded note names show exactly which keys to press. No music reading required. Key of Eb, 75 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement will seriously level up your left-hand Alberti bass β€” you're rolling through 27 different chord shapes in E-flat, so your fingers need to know where they're going before they get there.

Start hands-separate at around 50 BPM, focusing entirely on the left hand first; the jumps between distant chords like A-flat minor to B-flat major seven can catch you off guard if you haven't mapped the physical distance.

Your right hand carries a vocal-style melody that needs to sing above the bass, so keep your touch lighter and more legato up top.

Use the sustain pedal generously but change it cleanly with each chord shift β€” muddy pedaling will wreck the melancholic mood instantly.

Loop any section where you hit back-to-back unfamiliar shapes until transitions feel automatic.

Once this clicks, you'll have real confidence navigating flat keys and complex chord movement, and that transfers to everything you play next.
