Teacher’s notes

This arrangement sits in E major with a gentle 84 BPM pulse, so you have room to breathe — use that space to focus on clean chord changes rather than rushing. Your left hand plays an octave bass pattern throughout, which means you'll need a relaxed, open hand position to land those octaves accurately without tension; practice the left hand alone first until the stretches feel natural. Your right hand navigates eight chords, and the trickiest moments come in the sus voicings — moving between B and Bsus4 or shifting from C♯m to C♯m7 requires only a single finger adjustment, so isolate those transitions and drill them slowly until they feel effortless. Use the sustain pedal to connect your octave bass to the chord above, lifting cleanly on each chord change to avoid muddy harmony. Once both hands are comfortable separately, combine them at around 60 BPM and gradually work up to tempo. This is the piece that will build your confidence with suspended chords and smooth voice leading — skills you'll use in almost every worship song from here on.
