As soon as it was released, this pop song was a huge success with the public and critics alike. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Song of the Year.

Today, The A Team is one of the most popular piano pop songs among beginning musicians.

And that's partly due to the ease with which it can be played quickly.

That's why we decided to include it in this ranking and make it a tutorial for learning it on the piano.

Notes of the right hand

To play the notes with the right hand, you simply press the following keys:

C – D – A – A# – C – D – D – F – D – C – D – F – F – C – D – A – A# – C – D – D – D – F – D – C – D – F – F – A# – F – A# – A# – A# – A# – F – D – A# – A# – A# – F – D – A# – A# – A# – A# – C – D – A# – C – D – A# – F – D – A# – A# – A# – A# – F – D – A# – A# – A# – A# – F – D – A# – F – D – A# – D – D – D – D – D# – D – C – A# – A# – A# – D – D – D – C – D – C – D – F – D – D – D – D# – D – C – A# – A# – D – F – G – F – D – C – A# – A# – A# – C – D – C – D – C – D – C – D – D – C – D – C – D – A# – D – D – D – D# – D – C – A# – D – F – G – A# – A – F – D – C – A# – A# – F – D – C – A# – F – D – D – A# – F – D – C – A# – C – D – C – A# – D – A#+D.

As for The Lord of the Rings Theme, this sequence of letters is very long to realize. We advise you to play it little by little. Once you have mastered one part, you can move on to the next part. This technique will allow you to better assimilate the order of the notes to play with the right hand for the song The A Team.

Notes of the left hand

Once you have managed to play the whole right hand, you must, as usual, learn the left hand. Fortunately, there are a few less notes (phew!) for this part. Here are the keys you need to press in succession to play the accompaniment for The A Team:

A# – A# – A# – A# – A – G – G – D# – A# – A# – A# – A# – A# – A# – A# – A – G – G – D# – A# – A# – A# – C – C – C – D# – D# – D# – A# – A# – A# – A# – D – D – D – C – C – C – D# – D# – D# – A# – A# – A# – A# – F – F – F – G – G – D# – D# – A# – A# – A# – A# – G – G – D# – D# – A# – A# – A# – A# – G – G – D# – D# – A# – A# – A# – A# – G – G – D# – D# – A# – A# – F – F – G – G – D# – D# – A# – A# – A# – A# – G – G – D# – D# – A# – A#.

This is a long sequence for a left hand to accompany the melody, but it will fit eventually, I promise!
As for the right hand, work in small parts in order to gradually assimilate the letters of the notes to be played.

Both hands (piano tutorial with letters)
