Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence moving through six chords in A♭ major, and the octave bass pattern in your left hand will really strengthen your reach and timing at a brisk 136 BPM. Start hands-separate: get your left hand comfortable jumping those octaves on A♭, B♭, D♭, and E♭ before you layer in the right-hand chord shapes. The trickiest transitions are B♭ to Cm and the move up to D♭—your fingers will want to hesitate, so loop just those two-bar spots at half tempo until they feel automatic. Watch the Abmaj7 voicing too; that added major seventh gives the happy mood its shimmer, but only if you voice it cleanly without buzzing against the root. Once both hands are solid individually, bring them together at around 90 BPM and nudge the tempo up in small increments. Pedal lightly on the downbeats to connect the octave bass without muddying the chord changes. By the time you're up to speed, you'll have a rock-solid feel for I–ii–IV–V movement that transfers to dozens of other songs.
