The music came before the movie: Christopher Nolan gave Hans Zimmer a letter and asked him to compose something inspired by it. Check out the full story and dive deeper into this lesson on our blog >> www.pianote.com/blog/interstellar-theme-tutorial/

Partially true. The theme was not Cornfield Chase, it was 'Day One Dark'. There's a version of the very first version somewhere on KZread if I remember correctly.

When I got the beginning parts I just cried. I’ve wanted to play and have loved film score music my entire life and never thought I’d get to a point of being able to play the songs I love so much. I’m 26 and never played the piano but I bought a piano back in June and the realization that I actually CAN learn this made me emotional. Thank you for your awesome lessons!!

"You can't make an Interstellar tutorial that's easy to follow along with, it's not possible" Lisa: No, it's necessary.
I have been playing piano for about 20 years and this has to be one of the best worded and presented tutorials/lessons I have ever seen! Concise, straight to the point yet in depth enough for people to learn correct technique! Awesome!!
It really helps when she NAMES the chords and or keynotes. When she covers the lessons at a slow pace and when the keynotes LIGHT up it is easy to follow along!! 🙏💐❤️💡💐
I started piano 2007, had to stop cold turkey when diagnosed with M.S. in 2008, i felt like the very thing i desired for myself was snatched away from my memory and fingers. I heard this song 2 weeks ago for the 1st time and something awoke within me with this song. Ive been on my keyboard determined to learn this song for myself. Im now 46, its been a rough 20yrs with this disease but im going to get it. Thank you for making it much easier to learn.

Interstellar / Cornfield Chase from Hans Zimmer is my absolute favourite composition. Even broken down in lesson chunks it sounds sooo beautiful. The way Lisa is explaining it all, I’m very much a beginner and feel like I could actually learn this with time and practice. A couple of weeks back I had no idea what an arpeggio pattern was and thanks to Lisa, I incorporate arpeggio pattern in my daily practice and they sound so pretty!! 😍✨🎹✨
Love your teaching style. I learn so much. You make it look so easy.

I took piano lessons for a few years when I was just a kid. Now at the age of 33 I am becoming interested in the piano again, and I have landed on your channel. Thank you. Because I discovered that I still have many things in my mind that I thought I had lost over time. I think I'll start from here, from this wonderful music, and from your lessons
Didn't seriously play something like a piano since schools music lessons. Just started with this lesson after breakfast and learned a considerable part already. She has such a nice way of teaching, so smooth and gently.
I left playing the piano for 6 long years and almost completely forgot how to play. Always loved Zimmer's this music score and wondered if I could ever play that. I've started playing again this year and just playing along with you felt so comfortable it was like I never stopped playing. Being able to play this music feels so beautiful and emotional at the same time. Thanks for this amazing video, this has been a GREAT help!
I did not expect this tutorial to be so useful! You''re really gifted as a teacher, everything feels so easy when mixed with practice. Thank you very much! Stay healthy!
I have tried to master it for months and the cords are really hard, this is beautifually explained and helped alot, Thank you so much ♥️ The fact the he wrote it before the movie is insaaannee!!
Thank you for doing what you do. I've restarted playing at 47 after not playing since I was a teenager. Being a big fan of instrumental music and science fiction this song was one of a few that that motivated me to want to learn again. Your style of teaching is amazingly easy to follow and I believe will help me a lot. I will become a subscriber soon.
Love how passionate you are in teaching music and going step by step. Thanks a lot!
This music is so beautifully. I always cry hearing it.
It's amazing how much music can just transport you to places. The beginning just makes me feel I'm just staring into the vast emptiness of space and I just feel so insignificant. I get a weird feeling in my chest each time
Thank you so much for this tutorial 😭😊💞 Interstellar is my all time favourite film & score. I just have a keyboard, I usually play by ear. But lately I've been struggling with depression so I haven't played it. I decided I should try to learn my favourite, the cornfield chase, to motivate me, but I don't have the energy to play by ear like I normally do- I just need someone to show me how so I can more quickly feel some joy from playing it. This is perfect! And you emit such joy as well, it makes me smile. Thank you.
Like I can't believe that this all was for free..... People pay to learn and still do not get such a wonderful teacher as you . I am so grateful to you an god that I found this video with such a Talented teacher..... It just made my Dayyy🙏🙏
Lisa. I think I told you this already. You're such a character. My personal number one tutor on KZread. Video is stored for when I feel to play some piano again probably in autumn and winter. I really need to take some time again and try to improve my play. That song is so good too.
Just wow. What an amazing teacher and pianist you are.
You are my favorite KZread piano teacher BY FAR. Having a beautiful voice that is on-pitch is such a bonus - for us!
My favourite movie ost!!! Brings me back to the movie each and every time I hear this
Geez where were you when I was a kid! I play by ear primarily before I could even begin to learn a song by reading the music. My teachers used to get exasperated with me when I would ask them to play it over and over. Thank you!!
Love your way of teaching, piano can seem so intimidating but you take that away ❤
I want to thank you for your amazing videos!!! They are always so helpful! :)

Hi there first of all thank you for allowing me at 62 years of age to play one of my favourite pieces of music of all time it just connects with me every time and btw I primarily play drop c guitar so bit of a metal head by nature but brought up around a piano but seriously I can’t put into words the enjoyment you have given me thanx again 👌
i thank you so much for this incredible explanation! it really does help me understand this piece of art and the piano itself 💗💗💗
i appreciate you SOOO much for teaching this and being so detailed with it as well❤️
I just love your teaching, Lisa. I can play this song after just a few sessions at the piano (though the last 20 bars were a bit tricky). What a beautiful song. Thank you! Also an update, I can play the 1st movement of the moonlight sonata too thanks to your teaching! ♥️♥️
I swear I’m currently on bars 45 to 56 and the G arpeggio is SO hard, but I’m working through it. This tutorial is REALLY easy to follow, I’ll post an update when I finish learning the whole piece ❤
Thank you so much for this, picked up piano again for the first time in around 5 years and this tutorial was so simple to learn.. huge request for me would be Gladiator now we are free! Thanks heaps guys keep up the uploads!
I love how enthusiastic you explain every part of the piece. You also are amazing at explaining things at a reasonable pace!! :)
So much tug has this vibe, love it, such and array of emotions as it builds, some folks performing it in the big church organs is amazing
I was just thinking about this theme and how to play it and here it is😂. Go Lisa and Pianote. You guys are awesome 🔥

Wow, that's the most amazing illustration for interstellar I have watched so far. Thanks a lot!
Beautiful combination of both hands Miss Lisa, that's awesome, look forward to practice that progression..
This is very helpful, especially the tips for relaxing the hands. The teaching style is clear and easy to understand. Thank you.
What a great tutorial! Thank you so much!! I don't play piano but accordion, it took a bit time to "translate" this to accordion but it has a very beautiful result, even with the stradella bass system.
I dont know if the most gorgeous thing here is the song, the way you play it, your voice or the way you teach it, thanks for all the above (thanks Hans too) !

Thanks a lot! I already fiddled around a bit with the melodic and harmonic idea of this fantastic piece earlier on a synthesizer, which was lots of fun. Hans Zimmer's music is so minimalistic but loaded with emotions from another world (perfectly fitting these kind of films) ♥I'm just starting to learn the piano and after watching this I found myself googling for piano teachers in the neighborhood 😆Can't wait to be able to play such pieces! I'm so grateful I got back into music after a long break (I'm almost 40 now but I I'm pretty sure this rediscovered love will last this time), and to all the very helpful and inspring content of all sorts that is freely shared on the internet 🙏
I want to learn this song now. Great job Lisa!
You are the type of teacher I always needed 🥰
Was literally thinking about this song today and then you shared a tutorial. Been in a slump lately and this has made me want to sit down and play. Thanks!!!
