In this piano and cello arrangement of A Thousand Years song composed by Christina Perri, you can learn and also play along with the video. A tip is to reduce the video speed and pause and as you gain confidence, return the video to normal speed.
Arrangement for Piano and Cello
In this video, you will find the visual tutorial for the piano part and also the sheet music for both, cello and piano. The visual tutorial with falling notes will help those not familiar with the music scores, making the learning easier.
the colors of the notes at the keyboard show the right hand in purple and the left hand in orange. Also, as the notes scroll down the screen, you can see the name of each one. So have fun learning!
In some cases, you will see the enharmonic notes names instead of the correct note in the score, but remember that the correct name is the one in the score. This does not take away the benefit of knowing which notes are being played on the piano.
Benefits of the visual tutorial
Another benefit of this type of tutorial is that you can learn to play without knowing how to read the sheet music, or even use the tutorial to learn some reading. People are looking for quick ways to learn to play but don’t forget that if you want to play like a pro, you need to take it a step further. Learning more about music theory and sheet music reading is essential to becoming a professional musician. Music is like a language, you can learn to speak it first, but if you want to unlock it and use the language professionally, you’re going to have to face grammar.
The song A Thousand Years is part of the soundtrack of the film Breaking Dawn of the Twilight saga which was based on the novel by Stephanie Meyer.

A Thousand Years (Christina Perri)
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
one step closer
I have died every day, waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more times stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
One step closer I have died every day, waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
