Easy piano arrangement in the key of G at 88 BPM. Difficulty: medium. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement sits in G major at a relaxed 88 BPM, which gives you breathing room to focus on smooth chord transitions in your left hand — expect shapes built around G, C, D, and Em that move in patterns typical of pop ballads.

Your right hand will carry the melody with a mix of stepwise motion and small intervals, but watch for syncopated rhythms where notes land just before or after the beat; tap the rhythm on a flat surface before adding pitch so your timing feels natural rather than stiff.

I'd suggest learning hands separately first, especially drilling the left-hand chord changes until they're automatic, then layering the melody on top at around 60 BPM before building back up to tempo.

The trickiest spots tend to be transitions where both hands shift position at the same time — loop those two-bar passages until they feel boring, because boring means solid.

Use a light sustain pedal to connect chords without muddying the melody.

This is a fantastic piece for training your ear to lock left-hand harmony against a syncopated right-hand line, a skill that transfers to almost every pop song you'll learn next.
