What A Day That Will Be — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
40 people have learned this song
Watch "What A Day That Will Be" by Jim Hill 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 Db, 135 BPM.
This arrangement is a wonderful workout for left-hand independence — that oompah bass pattern needs to stay relaxed and steady at 135 BPM while your right hand floats the melody on top.
Start hands-separate and slower, maybe around 100 BPM, locking in the left hand's bass-note-then-chord rhythm until it feels automatic.
Playing in Db means your fingers sit naturally along the black keys, which is actually comfortable once you trust the hand shape.
Watch the move into Bbm7 and Eb7 — those transitions can trip you up if you're not anticipating the chord change a beat early.
The Ab7 resolving back to Db should feel like a satisfying exhale; lean into that.
If any section stumbles, loop just those four bars until they're boring.
This is the piece that'll make oompah patterns in flat keys feel like second nature, and the peaceful mood rewards a light, unhurried touch throughout.
