Top Of The World — Easy Piano Notes for Beginners
27 people have learned this song
Learn "Top Of The World" on piano with easy notes — perfect for absolute beginners. Large color-coded note names show exactly which keys to press. No music reading required. Key of Eb, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence moving through flat-key chord shapes — your left hand will get a real workout with that walking bass line, so start hands-separate and let your fingers learn the Eb–Ab–Bb root movements before you layer in the melody.
At 120 BPM it's not fast, but the walking pattern means your left hand rarely rests, so steady rhythm matters more than speed.
Watch the transition from Fsus4 to F7 — that sus4 wants to resolve smoothly, so keep your pinky anchored and just lift the one finger.
The Cm7 to G7 shift can also catch you off guard because it's a bigger hand jump; loop that two-bar spot slowly until it feels automatic.
For your right hand, the melody sits comfortably and mostly steps by scale degree, so sight-reading it should come naturally.
Use light pedal on chord changes to keep things warm without muddying the bass line.
Once it clicks, this song will genuinely cement how walking bass supports a happy, buoyant pop feel — that's a skill you'll carry into dozens of other tunes.
