You Raise Me Up — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
19 people have learned this song
Watch "You Raise Me Up" by Il Divo 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, 56 BPM.
This arrangement gives you a real workout in chord variety — with 27 different shapes across the piece, your left hand needs to navigate some surprising shifts, especially moving between clusters like Bm, Bsus2, and B6 or jumping out to Bb and G#.
At 56 BPM you have time, so use it: don't rush transitions, and keep your block bass steady and grounded rather than punchy.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first, particularly through the dramatic build sections where the harmony gets dense with chords like C9 and Fmaj7 that may not sit naturally under your fingers yet.
Loop any four-bar phrase where you fumble a chord change until it feels automatic before moving on.
Watch your sustain pedal — in a ballad this slow, muddy pedaling is the number-one issue I see, so change it cleanly with each new chord.
This is the piece that'll make reading and voicing complex chord symbols feel routine, and that's a skill you'll use in everything you play next.
