Emotion recipe
🌧️ Melancholy
Two ways to play the same feeling: Flow (smooth, familiar) and Color (expressive, cinematic). You’ll practice it in three steps: smooth chords, play with feeling (rhythm + touch), and lift it higher.
How to play melancholy on piano (beginner): start with smooth chords, then repeat them with a simple rhythm, and finally lift the emotion by playing the same idea higher on the keyboard.
- ✅ No sheet music

Smooth chords · Part 1 — See the chord
We reveal each chord note-by-note (root → third → fifth), then play the full chord.
Smooth chords · Part 2 — Right hand
Play the chords with your right hand only. Take your time — let your hand learn the shapes.
Smooth chords · Part 3 — Left hand
Now anchor the emotion with your left hand. One note per chord. Stay grounded.
Smooth chords · Part 4 — Together
Bring both hands together. Same chords. Same emotion.
Next: Step 2 (play with feeling) and Step 3 (lift it higher).
