She's Out Of My Life — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
28 people have learned this song
Watch "She's Out Of My Life" by Michael Jackson 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 E, 58 BPM.
This arrangement is a beautiful entry point into expressive ballad playing — but don't let the slow 58 BPM tempo fool you into thinking it's effortless.
Your left hand plays block chords, which keeps the bass simple, but you're cycling through twenty different chord shapes, including less common ones like C#dim7 and Gdim7 that will stretch your fingers into unfamiliar positions.
Start hands-separate: get your right hand melody smooth and singing first, then drill the left-hand chord changes in isolation, especially the transitions around C#m to C#dim7 and any move involving Bsus4 resolving to B.
Once you combine hands, loop those trickier progressions at half speed until they feel automatic.
Use the sustain pedal gently — at this tempo, over-pedaling turns everything muddy, so lift cleanly with each chord change.
This is the piece that'll genuinely expand your chord vocabulary beyond the basics, and that payoff transfers to everything you play next.
