Once you’ve learned to play all these notes with your right hand at your own pace, you’ll be able to consider the melody part tamed, and let’s not forget that we’re talking about Rush E … the composition you wonder when you’ll crack!
In general, practice repeating each sequence several times before moving on to the next, and so on, until your playing becomes more and more fluid. You’ll feel more and more at ease, and you’ll see that you’ll naturally master the different sequences.
Once you’ve reached this stage, you can concentrate on learning the Rush E accompaniment, to be played on your piano keyboard with your left hand.

Musical excitement can reach a crescendo! We’re sharing this video tutorial for flexible, fun learning, suitable for all levels. Take your time, and don’t hesitate to move forward in short sequences.
Congratulations, you’ve deftly navigated your way through the Rush E frenzy!
Now let’s move on to the left-hand accompaniment!
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.
In this section, we’ll look at the notes of the Rush E accompaniment to be played on the piano. The accompaniment is played with the left hand.
Follow the same method as for the right hand, identifying the first note to be played. For Rush E… rest assured, it’s not an E… the accompaniment starts with the note A.
A is the first note to be played on the piano with the left hand for Rush E.'s composition.
Left hand requisitioned, fingers positioned on A, you will then play each note of the Rush E accompaniment in turn:
A – C + E – E – C + E – A – C + E – E – C – A – E – A – E – A – E – E – A – E – G# – E – A – E – B – F# – E – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – D – C – B – A – E – G# – A – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – G# – E – A – E – B – F# – E – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – D – C – B – A – E – G# – A – A – D – A – D – A – A – C – A – C – A – E – B – E – B – C – A – C – E – A – A – D – A – D – A – A – C – A – C – A – B – D – E – C – D – B – A – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – G# – E – A – E – E – B – F# – E – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – E – A – E – D – C – B – A – E – G# – A – A – A – C + E – E – C + E – A – C + E – E – C + E – A – C + E – E – C – E – A – C + E – E – C + E – A – C + E – E – C + E – A – C + E – E – C + E – A – C + E – E – C – A – C + E – E – C + E – A – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – G# – E – A – E – B – F# – E – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – E – A – E – D – C – B – A – E – G# – A – A – D – A – D – A – C – A – C – A – E – B – E – B – C – A – C – E – A – A – D – A – D – A – C – A – C – A – B – D – E – C – D – B – A – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – G# – E – A – E – B – F# – E – E – A – E – A – E – A – E – E – A – E – D – C – B – A – E – G# – A – A – A# – F – F – A# – F – F – A# – F – A# – F – A – F – A# – F – C – G – F – F – A# – F – A# – F – F – F – A# – F – F – A# – F – D# – C# – C – A# – F – A – A# – A# – D# – C# – C – A# – F – A – A#
If you can play all the notes smoothly, don’t wait! Move on to the next level!
If necessary, take your time practicing. Break the piece down into several sequences, and only move on to the next one if you’ve got it right!
Rush E on the piano: the notes of the left hand.
Below is a video tutorial to help you excel at playing the notes of Rush E’s piano accompaniment.
Left hand ready? Enjoy the note race!
The La Touche Musicale app waits for you to play the correct note with your left hand on your piano before moving on to the next.
Magnificent! You tamed the frenzy of Rush E’s melody and accompaniment, each in their own way. That’s already an excellent performance!
Now we’re going to turn up the pressure (inherent to the piece, of course – playing the piano isn’t a source of stress, it’s a pleasure). You’re going to play the notes of Rush E on the piano, using both hands simultaneously.
Don’t be afraid! Our tips are just below, and our tutorial is here to guide you!
Playing with both hands is the ultimate challenge for any beginner pianist. So stay cool and remember that it’s perfectly normal to have difficulties at first.
Don’t question your skills on the first try. You probably don’t remember it, but you didn’t get it right the first time – it took many tries and a few falls.
Start small. Don’t set your goals too high right from the start. If you try to master the piece with both hands in record time, you’ll be sorely disappointed. Learning should be synonymous with pleasure.
The main advice is the same as before: divide the piece into short sequences of a few seconds (5 to 10 seconds, no more).
First practice playing only the melody for these few seconds, then concentrate on the accompaniment. Once you feel comfortable with each hand individually, try playing both together.
As soon as you’ve mastered one sequence with both hands, move on to the next. Proceed in this way, sequence by sequence, until you reach the last note of the piece.
We remind you that this piece has energized a whole host of pianists. Think of Rush E as a game, and consider that if this is your first piano piece, it may not be the best one to learn (although it has been simplified).
Just enjoy it and go for it!
Rush E on the piano: the notes of both hands.
Ready to play the notes of Rush E with both hands on the piano?
Pay attention to the different tempos and concentrate on coordinating the notes between the two hands.
Sometimes certain notes need to be played simultaneously, while others need to be played one after the other.
Don’t hesitate to pause the video when the notes arrive on the virtual keyboard, so that you can position your fingers to play the right notes at the right time. If you get confused, go back to the basics: right hand, then left, then both.
It’s true that it’s a bit constraining to keep pressing the video’s play/stop button. Please note that these videos are taken from our La Touche Musicale app.
Our app also offers a learning mode. The main feature of this mode is that the app waits for you to play the right notes before continuing.
It also lets you display the notes in Latin (Do, Ré, etc.) or Anglo-Saxon (C, D, etc.) versions, and you can even choose not to indicate them to spice up the exercise 🙂
With these tips in mind, let’s get on with the final phase!
