“My Heart Will Go On” piano notes and finger positions<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s break it down hand by hand.<\/p>\n

“My Heart Will Go On” piano notes in the right hand<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ll start by setting up your right hand. Place your middle finger (3) on C, then let your other fingers rest naturally on the nearby white keys.<\/p>\n

This hand position covers the first line of the song.<\/p>\n

The opening melody goes like this:<\/p>\n

C(3) \u2013 C(3) \u2013 C(3) \u2013 C(3) \u2013 B(2) \u2013 C(3) \u2013 C(3) \u2013 B(2) \u2013 C(3) \u2013 D(4) \u2013 E(5)…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"my<\/p>\n

Play this slowly and evenly with your right hand. Keep your fingers relaxed and let each note connect smoothly to the next. The rhythm is gentle, so don\u2019t rush.<\/p>\n

“My Heart Will Go On” piano notes in the left hand<\/h3>\n

For the left hand, we\u2019ll use a simple bassline to support the melody. Don\u2019t worry about playing full patterns yet, just press the root note or the basic chord when the symbol changes.<\/p>\n

Place your left thumb on the F below middle C and let your fingers fall naturally over the consecutive white keys. The note order goes like this:<\/p>\n

C(1) – G(4) – F(5) – C(5) – G(1)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"my<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re just starting out, playing only the root note of each chord is enough to make it sound complete.<\/p>\n

How to play “My Heart Will Go On” on piano?<\/h2>\n

Playing with both hands might feel tricky at first, but if you keep a slow tempo and steady rhythm, the melody and harmony will soon start to flow naturally.<\/p>\n

Start with your right hand playing the melody:<\/p>\n

C \u2013 C \u2013 C \u2013 C \u2013 B \u2013 C \u2013 C \u2013 B \u2013 C \u2013 D \u2013 E<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then add your left hand with our simple bassline:<\/p>\n

C – G – F – C – G<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The key is to hold each note in the left hand while your right hand plays through the phrase. When the melody moves to the next section, change your bass note. Don\u2019t worry about speed, focus on making the notes clear and even.<\/p>\n
