About our Blog

I will be putting the Synthesia recordings here for those who want to learn the music.  Some are key readers (for those who do not yet know how to read notes).  But I do encourage you guys to learn to read sheet music -- It's fairly easy!  Just need tons of practice to sight read.  Mind you I'm not an expert in sight reading sheets, but I practice a piece a lot before I am able to play with few mistakes (yes there are still mistakes!).  Enjoy the videos!

How to Play "How to Love" by Lil Wayne

One of the new songs by Lil Wayne, "How to Love", has been riding the top charts for quite a while now.  It's pretty easy to play with the piano or keyboard, the only difficulty is that most of the melody is quite "rapped" and he does it significantly fast to be able to play it on the piano.

Here are the chords that I use for keyboard/piano:

B - BM7 - EM7 - Em6  (This cycles from start to finish)

For the guitar, I put the capo on the 3rd and use this chords (just a simple transpose of 3 half steps for the piano/keyboard chords)

G - GM7 - CM7 - Cm6 (You may use Cm instead of Cm6 for simplicity)

The Lonely by Christina Perri

Christina Perri has brought us the song Jar of Hearts, and now she is with another big hit titled "The Lonely". The piano accompaniment she used here is fairly easy to master because the notes are within hands reach (no need to jump from one octave to another) as with her previous hit song. The sample music is below.



The chords are fairly easy.

Intro:

Gm - D/F# - Eb - Bb, D

Stanza:

Gm - D - Eb - Bb, D (2x)

Eb, F, Bb, Gm, Eb, F, D

Chorus:

Gm - D/F# - Eb - Bb, D

Gm - D/F# - Eb - Bb - D

2nd Stanza Intro:

Gm - D/F#

Bridge:

Gm, F/A, Bb, Bb/D, Eb

Gm, F/A, Bb, Bb/D, Cm, Bb

Gm, F/A, Bb, Bb/D, Cm - D

Skinny Love by Birdy

Just Can't Get Enough by B.E.P Partition

This one song I heard from Black Eyed Peas is really easy to play on the piano.  I have the notes here.  The site requires to sign up to view the files.  Don't worry, it's free to download, no spam emails.  I placed it at $0.  I will be placing the free sheets here in the future. (As of now, even though the file is set at $0, paypal requires at least $0.01 to get the file -- sorry about this but we're trying to fix this issue.)

You could also buy new sheets from this website.
