Two Birds — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

11 people have learned this song

Watch "Two Birds" by Regina Spektor 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, 155 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with a pedal bass — your left hand will anchor on a repeated or sustained note while your right hand moves through the chord changes above it.

That steady left hand is your foundation, so practice it alone first until it feels automatic.

The chord palette here is richer than most easy pieces: you'll encounter borrowed chords like Fm and Bdim7 sitting right next to familiar shapes like C and G.

Isolate those transitions — especially moving into and out of Bdim7 — and loop them slowly before bringing the tempo up toward 155 BPM.

Watch your E7 to Am resolution; land that minor chord cleanly and the melancholic mood clicks into place.

Once the pedal bass feels effortless, you'll notice your hands start to feel independent of each other, and that's a skill you'll carry into everything you play next.
