Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a wonderful workout for navigating rich chord voicings at a gentle ballad tempo — don't let 108 BPM fool you into thinking it's easy, because thirteen distinct chords means your right hand will be reshaping constantly.

Your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern, so lock that in first until it feels automatic, then layer in the right hand.

Pay special attention to the transitions around F#m, F#m7, and Bm — those black-key shapes sit differently under your fingers than the open C-area chords like Fmaj7 and G, and rushing between them is where most stumbles happen.

Loop any passage that shifts between sharp-heavy and natural-key chords until the motion feels smooth at half tempo before speeding up.

The suspended chords (Asus2, Asus4) need clean resolution into A, so voice those deliberately.

This is the piece that will genuinely build your confidence with major seventh and suspended shapes in a musical, peaceful context.
