Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build your Alberti bass confidence β€” your left hand will roll through broken-chord patterns on G, C, D, and D7 shapes, and at 168 BPM that left hand needs to feel almost automatic before you add the melody.

Start hands-separate and slow it down to around 100 BPM, focusing on keeping your left-hand fingers close to the keys so you're not bouncing.

The right hand carries a cheerful, singable melody that sits comfortably in G major, so fingering is straightforward.

Watch the A7 chord when it appears β€” it introduces a Cβ™― that your left hand won't expect, and the move from A7 into D is the spot most students fumble the first few times, so loop that transition until it's smooth.

Once both hands feel easy alone, combine them in short four-bar phrases before playing end to end.

This is the piece that'll lock in your Alberti pattern so it feels like second nature going forward.
