About this piece

Written by Gioachino Rossini (1792–1868), The Green Hills of Tyrol is cheerful and quick on its feet, in the Romantic style. There are 3 versions to grow through: start with the level 1 (beginner) arrangement, 0:48 in G major, and move up to level 2 when it feels comfortable.

About Gioachino Rossini (1792–1868): Italian opera composer of The Barber of Seville and William Tell, whose tunes have been arranged for piano ever since.

How to play The Green Hills of Tyrol on piano

  1. Find your starting position before you play: look at the first notes on the falling-notes player and place your hand over them, one finger per key.
  2. Start in Wait mode: the music waits until you press the right key, so you can learn the notes without worrying about speed.
  3. Practise the right hand alone first. If there's a left-hand part, let the app play it while you learn the melody, then swap.
  4. Start with the level 1 version. When you've learned about 80% of it, move on to the next harder version; the notes you already know make it quicker to learn.
  5. Short daily sessions beat one long weekly one. Ten focused minutes a day is enough to make steady progress.

In the PianoKite app you can learn it with your own digital piano over Bluetooth or USB, or with any piano through the microphone: the score scrolls past a playhead, the keys light up, and every bar gets a score so you can see what's learned.
