If you’re looking for a fun, fast-paced piano song to learn, look no further than “Movin’ Out” by Billy Joel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This classic hit is an absolute blast to play and will have you singing along in no time. In this tutorial, we’ll break down the basics of this lively song so that you can start playing it yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Play Movin Out on Piano <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting Started<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you’ll need to do becomes familiar with the basic chord progression in “Movin’ Out.” The chords are C, G7, C\/B, Am7, Dm7, and G7<\/strong>. Once you understand these chords and how they fit together, it’s much easier to move forward with learning the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning the Melody<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know the chords of “Movin’ Out,” it’s time to learn the melody. The melody consists of two parts; an A section repeated several times followed by a B section played once at the end of each verse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by learning the A section consisting of 8 bars of 8th notes alternating between C5 and E4 on each beat. After you have mastered this part, move on to the B section, which involves playing a more melodic pattern on top of a walking bass line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve gotten comfortable with both sections, practice playing them back-to-back until you can play through them without any mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting It All Together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know all the components of “Movin’ Out,” it’s time to combine them into one cohesive performance. Start by playing through each section slowly until you can get a feel for how they sound when played together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As your confidence grows, gradually increase your speed until, eventually, you can play through each section without any mistakes or hesitation! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve mastered all three sections of “Movin’ Out,” add more flourishes like trills or runs to give your performance more character and personality!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
