Hey guys,
it`s Thomas from werdemusiker!
Welcome to my new piano tutorial!
Sing me to sleep by Alan Walker!!!
I dedicate this tutorial to Jerry Sommer 😃
When you don`t know why,
please have a look at my last Q&A video! 😉
I hyperlinked it here.
If you are new here,
if you are a beginner at the piano,
if you are new to my channel ,
then I recommend you my crash course!
That`s a really good start!
You get all the info in the description box below the video!
You will get to my website and
there you can sign in
just with first name and email address.
Then I will send you the free lessons per mail. 😃
Okay, I wish you lots of fun with this tutorial!
This tutorial is very detailed
and suitable for beginners, advanced and intermediate players.
Have fun! 😃
First I will show you
what you will learn in this piano tutorial!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Okay, this is what you will roughly learn in this tutorial 😃
What else do I want to say ?!
 
You can play this song very easy and light.
 
 
The melody is quite easy.
There are not so many notes.
 
 
And what I did here at the end…
 
 
 
 
 
This part is quite difficult to transfer and realize at the piano.
And I also improvised somewhat with the chords.
 
At this point we have some liberties!
This is more for advanced piano players.
But you can theoretically also play it like this:
 
 
 
 
 
Somehow like this
You can also play this in an easy version
Okay, enough talk!
That was just a short overview
Here we go with the first part!
 
In the first part I will show the verse, the beginning of the song.
We start with the right hand.
 
 
With this melody in the right hand.
We have G
I play it with pinkie.
By the by, it`s E minor chord.
 
It`s E G and H down here.
And your hand can lie like this.
 
 
 
Here I play:
G E E E F sharp D D D H
 
again
 
 
again
 
 
That`s the first practice part!
Repeat this very often
and memorize it!!!
Then we go on to the next!
 
 
Actually it`s the same,
but at the end you play C instead of E.
At this point we have C major chord.
This is E minor chord.
And here we have C major chord.
And you also see immediately
why C is played here.
 
 
Besides, what else did I do here?
 
I played H before.
 
 
You could also do this in the first practice part.
 
It`s just a small grace note.
According to syllable it`s sang
According to the syllable of the lyrics
whether it`s first or second verse.
But I just like to play it,
not every time but occasionally.
And especially here in the second part!
Now we play part one and two together!
 
 
 
 
 
This is repeated.
 
 
 
 
 
This was actually already the first part
- you might say so.
Next we will add the left hand!
It was half of the verse or the verse itself
- you can interpret it differently.
 
 
With the left hand we play
E at the beginning!
Together with G.
 
 
 
And then when you strike the next G here,
you strike C in the left hand.
 
 
 
again
 
This is also repeated.
 
 
 
Okay, this is basically the verse,
the first part of it!
 
Now comes something for the advanced players:
If you know the chords
It`s E minor here
E G and H
Then you can play E minor like this!
 
 
It`s: pinkie, thumb, middle finger, thumb
That`s the figure.
 
And if you keep on repeating it,
then it sounds like this.
 
Over C major it sounds like this.
 
C E and G are the notes.
And together!
 
 
 
 
 
If you think your hands are too near together,
then you can play the right hand one octave higher.
 
 
 
 
Or you can choose a different pattern in the left hand.
For example in the second verse I play this
because the rhythm in the original version is a bit different.
 
Then I play:
 
It`s E and E in the octave
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
That`s just an example.
You can also play a 1 5 3 link
- you can play E G and H here -
so I play E H and G up here.
 
 
You could also play it like this
 
if you would have enough fingers 😉
Come up with something 😃
Have again a look at the beginning of the video
how I played it there.
 
This was the first verse, the first part!
We will go on in the second part!
