Que Sera, Sera — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
8 people have learned this song
Watch "Que Sera, Sera" by Doris Day 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, 125 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with jazzy color chords in your left hand — you'll move between standard triads like C and F and richer voicings like Cmaj7, C6, and C#dim7, which means your fingers need to know those shapes cold before you try to add the melody.
Start hands-separate: drill the left-hand block chords at around 80 BPM until every transition feels automatic, especially the chromatic slide from C into C#dim7 and back — that's the spot most students fumble because the diminished shape sits a half-step away and your hand wants to overshoot.
Once your left hand is steady, layer in the right-hand melody; it flows naturally in a waltz-like three feel, so count carefully and resist rushing at 125 BPM.
Watch the Dm7-to-G7 turnaround — land G7 cleanly and you'll set up each return to C with real momentum.
A light touch on the sustain pedal, changing with each new chord, keeps the peaceful mood without muddying those close voicings.
This is the piece that'll make chromatic passing chords feel like second nature in your playing.
