Easy piano arrangement in the key of G at 112 BPM. Difficulty: medium. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement sits in the key of G and moves at a moderate 112 BPM, so your right hand will spend a lot of time navigating gentle melodic phrases that lean on syncopation — Billie's vocal rhythms love to land just off the beat, so tap the rhythm out on a table before you even touch the keys.

Your left hand will cycle through familiar chord shapes, but pay close attention to transitions where the bass note shifts by a larger interval; those are the spots where timing tends to wobble.

I'd suggest learning hands separately first, especially drilling the left-hand pattern at about 80 BPM until the changes feel automatic, then layering the right hand on top.

The trickiest stumbling point is usually keeping the left hand steady while your right hand follows those syncopated phrases — if you lose the groove, slow down rather than push through.

Use the sustain pedal lightly, changing it with each new chord to keep things clean.

This is a fantastic piece for training your hands to operate independently at a relaxed tempo, which is a skill that pays off in everything you play next.
