Rhythm Of My Heart — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
16 people have learned this song
Watch "Rhythm Of My Heart" by Rod Stewart 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, 135 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for steady left-hand octave bass at a brisk 135 BPM — your left hand needs to feel almost automatic so your right hand can drive the melody with confidence.
Most of the chords sit comfortably in C major, but watch that B♭ — it's a borrowed chord that will pop up and catch you off guard if you haven't drilled the transition from Dm to B♭ and back.
Start hands-separate at around 90 BPM, and loop any passage where the B♭ appears until your fingers find it without hesitation.
The Am7 to G7 movement is another spot worth isolating, since both chords share a similar shape and it's easy to fumble the voice change at tempo.
Keep your wrist relaxed on those left-hand octaves; tension will creep in fast at this speed.
Once you can play it cleanly at 110, bump up in small increments.
This is the piece that'll make borrowed chords feel like second nature in your playing — a skill that opens up dozens of pop-rock songs down the road.
