Ordinary Miracles — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

3 people have learned this song

Watch "Ordinary Miracles" by Barbra Streisand 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, 80 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a beautiful workout for navigating jazz-flavored chord extensions — you'll encounter 9ths, major 7ths, and minor 9ths across a wide spread of key centers, so your hands need to be comfortable reshaping quickly.

Your left hand drives a steady oompah bass pattern throughout, which sounds simple but gets challenging when the harmony slides from C-major territory into flat-key regions like Ebmaj7, Dbmaj7, and Fm7.

Start hands-separate at around 60 BPM, and give your left hand extra time memorizing those bass-note-to-chord jumps through the chromatic passages.

When you put hands together, loop any section where the key center shifts suddenly — that Cm9-to-Bm9 type movement is where most students stumble.

Use the sustain pedal to smooth transitions, but lift cleanly on each new chord so the harmonies don't blur.

At 80 BPM the pace is forgiving, so prioritize clean voice changes over speed.

This is the piece that'll make distant key shifts feel like home.
