Easy piano arrangement in the key of Bb at 95 BPM. Difficulty: medium. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great workout for navigating minor seventh and extended chord shapes — your left hand holds block bass roots while your right hand voices chords like Fm9 and Bbm7 that sit close together on the keyboard, so accurate finger placement matters more than speed here.

At 95 BPM the tempo is forgiving, but watch the transition from Gbmaj7 to Fm7: that whole-step drop catches people off guard because both shapes feel similar yet your hand needs to shift cleanly without smudging.

Practice that two-chord move slowly, hands together, until it's automatic.

I'd suggest looping the verse section hands-separate first — get your left hand's block pattern steady like a heartbeat, then layer the right hand on top.

The Csus4 resolving into Cm7 is another spot to isolate; let your fourth finger lift precisely so the suspension actually breathes.

Use light sustain pedal, releasing on each chord change to keep the voicings clear rather than muddy.

This is the song that'll really solidify your comfort with minor extended chords in flat keys — once these shapes are under your fingers, a huge chunk of R&B harmony opens up for you.
