Learn to play Coldplay’s ‘Clocks’ with Piano M and the ROLI Learn app
Go from first steps to full performance, and practice anytime, anywhere
Celia Tewey set herself a piano challenge: learn Coldplay’s ‘Clocks’ and perform the track for her friend, a professed Coldplay fan. With the help of Piano M and the ROLI Learn app, she made that goal a reality, one note at a time. Watch her journey below.
Beginning with First Steps, Celia was introduced to the song’s iconic melody and guided through foundational piano techniques. The ROLI Learn app adapted to her pace and learning style and guided her with vibrant visuals on screen. Matching colored notes to Piano M’s illuminated keys, ROLI Learn and Piano M helped her stay motivated and made each step achievable and fun.
And, if the pace was still a bit too fast, Celia could adjust her practice sessions to her speed, play along with the metronome tool, or play in Wait Mode, so she could really feel the rhythm of the song and get hands-on with the notes.
One of the things Celia loved most was the flexibility. With ROLI Piano M, she could practice anywhere—at home, in a quiet café, or wherever she pleased. This freedom meant she could keep up her progress on the go, turning even short practice sessions into meaningful musical moments.
As she advanced and built rhythm and coordination, she took the final step of playing what she learned with ROLI on a traditional piano, to great success! Eventually, she was confidently playing ‘Clocks’ with both hands, and more importantly, sharing that moment with her friend during the performance.
Each moment she spent learning was a joyful and rewarding experience. It wasn’t just about hitting the right notes—it was about connecting to music in a new way and sharing that joy with someone else.
If you’re ready to start learning piano in a more colorful, interactive way, there’s no better place to start than with Piano M and the ROLI Learn app. And if you're looking for even more musical joy, the new 49-key ROLI Piano gives you an extended range, unlocking more songs and challenges in the app to help your skills grow.
