A step-by-step guide on how to play the main theme from “The Phantom of the Opera” on Virtual Piano.

Choose the right piano

Before you start learning how to play the Phantom of the Opera theme on virtual piano, you need to make sure you have the right instrument. There are many different types and styles of piano, so it’s important to choose one that’s right for you.

If you’re a beginner, you may want to consider an acoustic piano. These instruments are typically more affordable and easier to play than other types of piano. If you’re looking for a more sophisticated sound, however, you may want to opt for a digital piano. These instruments are often equipped with advanced features that can help you create a more polished sound.

No matter what type of piano you choose, be sure to invest in a quality instrument that will last for years to come.

Learn the notes

Before you begin, take a look at the notes on the treble clef staff. The Phantom of the Opera theme song is in the key of D minor, which means that the notes in the melody are: D, E♭, F, G, A♭, B♭, and C. The left hand accompaniment consists of chords in the key of D minor.

Now that you know what notes you need to play, let’s get started!
