You Are The Sunshine Of My Life — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
11 people have learned this song
Watch "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" by Stevie Wonder 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, 130 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with jazzy chord extensions in a feel-good setting.
Your left hand will cycle through shapes like Cmaj7, Cmaj9, Dm7, and F9 — chords that look intimidating on paper but sit nicely under the fingers once you find the common tones between them.
At 130 BPM the changes come at a relaxed clip, but watch the move into Eaug and the quick E7-to-Am turnaround — those are the spots where most students stumble.
Start hands-separate at about 90 BPM and loop just those two transitions until they feel automatic, then bring the tempo up gradually.
Keep your right hand light and rhythmically steady; the melody likes to float slightly behind the beat in a soulful way, so resist the urge to rush.
Once this clicks, you'll have a solid foundation for voice-leading through extended chords in any key.
