How to play The Weeknd — Blinding Lights sheet music


The Weeknd — Blinding Lights is composed in a binary verse-chorus form. Both sections are repeated before a short coda.
This song follows the traditional model for the disco form. Its rhythmic basis is sustained throughout, so the LH’s principal duty will be to provide a rock-steady footing.

Piano Playing Method


Accuracy in articulation are essential for playing The Weeknd — Blinding Lights piano sheet music.
Your tone should be energetic and rhythmic. It should impart the lilting feel of a lullaby. Figuratively speaking, you should communicate a sense of comfort, ease, or pleasantness. To sound quietly, keep your fingers close to the keys and do some firm practice from the knuckles.
The articulation in this piece is tricky because it alternates between legato and staccato.
Accent every note, varying the accents each time you play. Once played lightly and up to speed, the ornament should flow naturally.
It’s worth trying out this technique for the entire song.

Among the hardest facets of piano playing is controlling a lightness of attack, and when coupled with playing at a faster speed, a reliable warm-hearted leggiero touch must rank as among the most prized piano skills.

The patterns in verses can become repetitive if not coloured imaginatively and played with rhythmic stamina.

Right Hand


Listen to the actual track The Weeknd — Blinding Lights as you begin to learn the arrangement, in order to balance parts in left and right hands.

Imagine a duet between a band and a singer, so color the two hands differently. Coordinating the parts may take some time to organise convincingly.

The RH here plays a melody (topline) and the LH provides some harmony (accompaniment).

Practise slowly at first, giving a distinct emphasis on the topline while playing the accompaniment as gently and as evenly as possible.

Don’t forget to bring dynamic colour to your performance by quickly moving from piano to forte; play every new part with different volume level.

Left Hand


After getting familiar with the RH, focus on the LH. The LH is generally soft throughout.

A relaxed wrist will help you to balance sound.

Pedal

Judicious use of the right pedal can do much to enhance the music.
