Teacher’s notes
This arrangement is a great workout for getting comfortable in the key of E♭, where your hands need to feel at home on those black keys — especially the B♭ and E♭ chord shapes that anchor most of the progression.
Your left hand plays block chords, which sounds straightforward, but at 138 BPM that means clean, quick jumps between six different chord positions with no room to hesitate.
Watch the move into the C major chord — it's the one shape here built entirely on white keys, and paradoxically that shift out of the "flat-key feel" is where most students fumble.
Start at around 70% tempo, hands separate, and loop any four-bar section where you notice a hitch in your left-hand transitions.
Once those are smooth, bring hands together and gradually push the speed up.
The Gm to Gm7 change is just lifting one finger, so use that moment to breathe and reset.
Stick with this one and you'll build real fluency moving through flat-key chords at tempo — a skill that pays off in a huge amount of pop repertoire.
