Once Upon a Dream Piano Tutorial (From the Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty)

Home » Piano Tutorials » Once Upon a Dream Piano Tutorial

Welcome to another Piano Tutorial from our Disney club. We can't give you Disney tickets but we can help you play your favorite Disney song on piano :)

In this piano tutorial we're going to play the Disney piano music of the Sleeping Beuaty's theme song. While we usually accompany songs in our piano tutorials, in this one we're going to play the melody with the right hand and the accompaniment with the left hand by combining both the bass and the chords.

If you want to follow the Once Upon a Dream piano tutorial freely you should know the names of the piano keys on the keyboard. The Full Hand Position of the Once Upon a Dream piano tutorial.

During the Part of Your World Piano Tutorial we will limit ourselves to playing all chords within the range of F under middle C and F above middle C with the right hand.

Here are the suitable chord inversions of all chords within the given range.

Once Upon a Dream - The Groove

In this tutorial I first show how to play the melody and then I demonstrate how the accompaniment of the song should be played in three quarters.

Here are the first two bars of the song to visualise how the we combine the bass and the chords in the left hand.

"Thank you for your lessons. I took piano lessons as a kid, and I've dabbled off and on for years. My music teacher taught me how to read music and hit all the notes, but I never felt like I was playing for real. I always felt like I was going through the motions, like a machine. Your lessons have changed that, so thanks."

Joshua White from U.S.A
