Unwritten — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

23 people have learned this song

Watch "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield 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 Bb, 105 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence playing in B♭ major, where your hands need to stay comfortable on those two flats.

Your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern, so keep it steady and anchored — it's the engine driving that upbeat energy at 105 BPM.

Your right hand will cycle through nine chords, and most transitions are smooth, but watch the move into Bbm6: that borrowed chord sneaks in a G♭ that can trip up your fingers if you're not ready for it.

Start hands-separate at around 75 BPM, and loop the sections where Dm7 and Gm7 voice-lead into each other until the shapes feel automatic.

Once you're comfortable, bring hands together and gradually push toward full tempo.

The syncopated phrasing in the chorus wants to rush — resist it by locking to the beat.

This is the song that'll make flat-key pop changes feel like home.
