That Should Be Me — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
770 people have learned this song
Watch "That Should Be Me" by Justin Bieber 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 Ab, 70 BPM.
This arrangement sits in Ab major, which means your hands will be living on a lot of black keys — if that feels unfamiliar, it's actually an advantage because the raised keys give your fingers natural landmarks.
At 70 BPM the tempo is forgiving, but don't let that fool you into rushing; the real challenge here is keeping your rhythms steady through syncopated melodic phrases in your right hand while your left hand holds down solid, even chord voicings.
Start hands-separate and really lock in those left-hand transitions, especially any moves between Ab and Db chords where your hand needs to shift smoothly without gaps.
Once both hands feel confident alone, combine them at half tempo and loop the chorus until the coordination feels automatic.
Watch your pedal changes carefully — in a ballad this slow, muddy sustain is the most common mistake I see.
Clean pedal lifts on each chord change will make everything sing.
This is a fantastic piece for building confidence with flat-key chord shapes you'll use in dozens of other pop songs.
