How to Practice Let It Go on Piano
Idina Menzel
About this piece
The iconic Frozen anthem with its empowering message and soaring melody. Despite the fast tempo marking, most piano arrangements use a half-time feel that makes it very accessible for beginners.
Practice tips
- The verse's Ab-Eb-Fm-Db chord pattern can be played with simple block chords in the left hand — focus on making the right-hand melody sing above them.
- The chorus has a powerful ascending melody line — build dynamics as the melody climbs higher, reaching peak volume on the highest note ('go') for maximum impact.
- The bridge section ('My power flurries through the air') has faster rhythmic values — practice this section at half tempo before bringing it up to speed.
Common mistake
Playing the entire song at the same loud dynamic — the quiet, tentative opening verse is essential for making the chorus feel triumphant by contrast.
