The Wind Beneath My Wings — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
5 people have learned this song
Watch "The Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler 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 G, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with extended chord voicings — those Gmaj7 and Gmaj9 shapes will stretch your right hand just enough to start feeling natural with jazzy colors.
Your left hand has a walking bass line throughout, so I'd strongly recommend isolating it first at around 80 BPM until the pattern feels automatic; walking bass at 120 demands steady, even timing that falls apart fast if you're still thinking about note choices.
Watch the B major chord — it's the one outsider in this key of G and tends to catch people off guard, especially moving into or out of Em.
Practice that specific transition in a short loop.
Pedal generously but change it with every chord shift to keep the walking bass clean, not muddy.
Once both hands sync up, this song will genuinely solidify your confidence with smooth, sustained ballad playing and those beautiful major seventh sounds you'll use everywhere from here on.
