Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to get your left hand comfortable with an Alberti bass pattern — that broken-chord rocking motion where you play low-high-middle-high across each chord. At 123 BPM it's gentle enough to feel natural but fast enough to demand evenness, so start hands-separate and slower until your left hand can autopilot through the chord changes. Your right hand mostly moves between familiar D-major shapes, but watch the sus4 resolutions: Dsus4 to D, Asus4 to A, and especially Bsus4 — that fourth-to-third finger release needs to land cleanly without rushing. The F♯m7 and Bm7 voicings sit close together on the keyboard, so map those transitions slowly before speeding up. Loop the verse progression a few times until the Alberti pattern feels like breathing, then layer the right hand on top. This is the piece that'll make sus4 resolutions second nature for you — enjoy how peaceful it sounds once everything locks in.
