Before playing the notes of Blinding Lights on the piano, let’s review the basics and learn how to find our way around a keyboard.
The diagram below shows the corresponding notes for each key on the keyboard:
The name of the notes on a piano keyboard.
On a piano keyboard, each key represents a musical note. To find your way around, start by locating a group of two black keys. The white key to the left of this group of two black keys is always the note C. The next white keys in order are always D, E, F, G, A and B.
So it’s a good idea to be able to locate the reference point: the note C. Then simply find the other notes on the keyboard from this reference point.
For the record, the black keys are the sharps (represented by the # symbol).
Now that you know your way around the keyboard, we can start playing the notes of The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights on the piano. Let’s go!
Now that you’ve learned to locate the notes on the keyboard, let’s take a look at learning the Blinding Lights melody with your right hand.

Blinding Lights on the piano: the notes of the right hand.
Congratulations, we’re sure you’ve interpreted the melody of this famous song perfectly with your right hand!
Now let’s move on to the sequence of notes to be played with your left hand.
La Touche Musicale app waits for you to play the right note with your right hand on your piano before moving on to the next one.
When playing the piano, it’s often said that the left hand creates the chords to build the musical base, while the right hand takes care of the melody. The left hand adds detail and a special touch to the piece, making it richer.
To choose the first key to play with your left hand, we’ll follow the same method as for the right hand. The first note your left hand will play on the piano is actually a chord, i.e. two notes played together: F and G#.
F and G# are the first notes to be played with the left hand for the song Blinding Lights on piano.
Excellent! You’ve now identified the first two notes to be played simultaneously for the accompaniment. Continue by pressing the following notes in succession:
F + G# – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A# – F + G# + C – D# + G + C – D# + G + A# – D + F + A#.
The accompaniment may seem more complex, so take your time to assimilate the sequence of notes. Break it down into smaller parts, and break each section down to understand it better. Take the time you need to familiarize yourself with each chord and transition. Patience and regular practice will help you master the whole thing smoothly and precisely.
