Are you wondering How to Play Purple Rain on the Piano<\/strong>? Are you looking to learn how to play the hit song “Heathens” from Twenty-One Pilots on the piano? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, you have come to the right place. Playing songs on the piano can be an enriching experience and an enjoyable way to spend your free time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog post, we will review some basics of playing Heathens on the piano, from learning music theory to playing specific notes. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Play Purple Rain on the Piano<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Music Theory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, we need to learn some music theory before we can start playing Heathens. Music theory is essential for understanding how musical notes interact with each other. Specifically, it helps us understand how different notes sound together and create chords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chords create the harmony of a song and are essential for creating that desired full-bodied sound when playing any instrument, including the piano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning Notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once we have a basic understanding of music theory, it’s time to start learning individual notes. Before beginning “Heathens” specifically, familiarize yourself with all 12 keys (C-B) and practice using them in various combinations until they become second nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will help you build confidence as you play and easily transition between different sections of any given song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning “Heathens”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that you understand music theory and know your keys well enough that you don’t have to think about them consciously while playing, it’s time to learn “Heathens” specifically! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by watching tutorials from experienced pianists so you can mimic their motions while also listening closely for which notes they use in each song section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you feel comfortable with what you are hearing, try playing with your left hand while keeping your right-hand stationary (or vice versa) until both hands are comfortable enough with their respective parts to combine them into one cohesive piece! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, practice songs in different keys so that your brain becomes accustomed to hearing slightly different combinations each time instead of getting stuck in a rut doing the same thing repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
