⓵ Lesson 1 – Right Hand Melody

In this first lesson, we’ll learn the iconic melody of Hymne à l’amour with your right hand — one note at a time. You’ll get clear fingering guidance, phrasing tips, and a simple technique to anticipate notes so your playing flows smoothly. This is the foundation of the piece, and we’ll build it together step by step.

 

⓶ Lesson 2 – Left Hand Accompaniment

Now that you’ve learned the right-hand melody, it’s time to bring in the left hand. In this lesson, we’ll explore simple accompaniment patterns — from single bass notes to octaves and gentle arpeggios. You’ll learn how to coordinate both hands smoothly and use the pedal to create a flowing, expressive sound. Step by step, we’ll start shaping the full beauty of the piece.

⓷ Lesson 3 – Right Hand Chords

In this lesson, we’ll enrich the melody by adding chords to your right hand. You’ll learn how to build simple harmonies directly from the notes you already know, and how to adjust your fingering to make everything fit comfortably. We’ll focus on placing chords on strong beats to support the melody and give your playing a fuller, more expressive sound — without making it harder to play.

⓸ Lesson 4 – The Second Theme

In this final lesson, we’ll dive into the beautiful second theme of Hymne à l’amour — a lyrical new section that brings contrast and emotional depth. You’ll learn the right-hand melody with expressive phrasing, explore new left-hand harmonies, and add rich chords to enhance the texture. With both hands working together, you’ll be able to perform the full piece with confidence and feeling.
