Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with seventh and extended chords — your left hand will work through Am7, Dm7, C7, and that lovely Bbmaj9, all as block voicings, so focus first on snapping each shape into place cleanly before worrying about tempo.

At 120 BPM the pace feels easygoing, but the transition from Bbmaj9 to C7 can catch you off guard if your fingers aren't pre-mapped, so loop just that two-chord change slowly until it's automatic.

I'd suggest learning hands separately for the first few passes: lock in the left-hand bass pattern until it feels boring, then layer the right hand on top.

Watch your sustain pedal — in a romantic ballad like this it's tempting to over-hold, but lift and re-press with each chord change to keep the sound warm without getting muddy.

This is the piece that'll make extended chords feel like home under your fingers.
