Easy piano arrangement in the key of C at 126 BPM. Difficulty: beginner. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement walks you through one of jazz's most essential chord progressions — the ii–V–I — over and over, so by the end your hands will know Am7 to Dm7 to G7 to C almost on autopilot.

Your left hand plays block chords, which keeps things manageable, but watch the chromatic passing chords like Db7, Eb7, and Ebdim7; those shapes will sneak up on you if you haven't isolated them first.

Start hands-separate at around 80 BPM and really nail each chord change before speeding up — at 126 BPM you won't have time to search for notes.

Loop the bridge separately, since that's where the trickiest transitions cluster.

When two chords share common tones, keep those fingers planted and move only what needs to move.

Get this one smooth and you'll have a rock-solid foundation for practically any jazz standard that comes next.
