Trip — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with minor seventh and ninth chord shapes — your left hand will settle into a block bass pattern that repeats predictably, so once you've memorized those Bm7 and Em7 voicings, they'll anchor everything else.

At 81 BPM you have breathing room, but watch the transition from F#m7 up to C: that jump can catch you off guard if you're not anticipating it, so isolate that two-chord shift and loop it slowly until your hand finds the distance without looking.

Start hands-separate, locking in the left-hand pattern first until it feels automatic, then layer in the right-hand melody.

The syncopation in the melody is subtle but essential for the R&B feel — tap the rhythm on your knee before you add pitch so you internalize the groove.

Use light sustain pedal, lifting cleanly on each chord change to keep those ninth chords from muddying together.

This is the song that'll make extended minor chords feel like home under your fingers.
