Monsoon — Easy Piano Notes for Beginners
12 people have learned this song
Learn "Monsoon" on piano with easy notes — perfect for absolute beginners. Large color-coded note names show exactly which keys to press. No music reading required. Key of B, 90 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence playing in the key of B, which means your hands will live on black keys more than usual — embrace that from the start.
Your left hand keeps an octave bass pattern throughout, so lock that in first at around 60 BPM before adding the right hand's chord shapes.
With fourteen chords including seventh voicings like C#m7, D#m7, and Bm7, the real challenge is smooth transitions rather than speed — 90 BPM is forgiving, so use that breathing room to land each shape cleanly.
Watch especially for the A#dim chord; it'll sneak up on you, so isolate the bars around it and loop them until the fingering feels automatic.
The A7 and D7 are borrowed chords that give the song its bittersweet pull, so voice them gently.
This is the piece that'll make sharp keys and minor seventh shapes feel like home.
