The Show — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
17 people have learned this song
Watch "The Show" by Lenka 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, 124 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for your left hand's "oompah" bass pattern — that steady low-note-then-chord bounce that drives the whole song at 124 BPM.
Most of your chords sit comfortably in C major territory (C, F, G, Am), but watch out for the G#dim7 — it's the spicy one that creates that bittersweet, melancholic pull, and your fingers will want to fumble it the first few times.
Practice that transition in isolation, slowly, until the shape feels automatic.
Also pay attention to the Gsus4-to-G resolution; let the sus4 hang just long enough before releasing.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first, getting that left-hand oompah groove locked in before layering the melody on top.
Once both hands are steady at around 90 BPM, gradually push toward full tempo.
The Fmaj7 adds a lovely color — voice it cleanly.
This is really the song that'll build your confidence moving between simple and chromatic chords without losing your rhythmic footing.
