Blowin' in the Wind – Bob Dylan

About this piece

Blowin’ in the Wind is one of Bob Dylan’s earliest and best-known songs, a folk song that asks its questions over a plain, singable tune. On the piano that tune is short and calm, ideal for an easy first song. What you can play here is the first 23 seconds (36 notes, about 2 a second); the whole arrangement lasts 0:45, about half of it. The full arrangement spans C♯4 to B4, less than an octave of the keyboard. Nearly every note of the preview is played on its own, so there are hardly any chords to press.

With one note at a time, Wait mode and note names are all you need to learn it.
