Until... — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
9 people have learned this song
Watch "Until..." by Sting 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 D, 135 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for navigating chromatic harmony — you'll move through thirty different chords, many of them outside the home key of D, including clusters like Abmaj7, Fm7, and Cm7 that will stretch your hand into less familiar shapes.
Your left hand drives an oompah bass pattern throughout, so start by drilling that independently until it feels automatic; you need it on autopilot so your brain can focus on the chord changes above.
At 135 BPM the tempo is deceptively brisk for a ballad, so slow it down to around 90 first and loop any section where you're jumping between sharp-key and flat-key chords — the Bm7-to-Abmaj7 type shifts are where most students stumble.
Use sustained pedal to smooth those leaps, but change it cleanly on each new bass note or you'll get mud.
Once the transitions feel predictable, bring the tempo up in small increments.
This is the piece that'll make distant key changes feel normal under your fingers — stick with it.
