Easy piano arrangement in the key of F at 100 BPM. Difficulty: easy. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to stretch your chord vocabulary — nine chords is a lot for an easy piece, and several of them (Ab, Eb, Cm, Fm) sit outside the home key of F, so your hands will need to venture into unfamiliar shapes.

Start with your left hand alone and lock in that oompah bass pattern at around 70 BPM until it feels automatic; the steady bass-chord alternation is the rhythmic backbone here, and if it's wobbly nothing else will sit right.

Once that's comfortable, add the right hand and pay special attention to the transitions around Cm and G7 — that's where most students hesitate because the hand has to shift position quickly.

Loop those two or three bars until the movement feels smooth, then gradually bring the tempo up to 100.

Keep your pedal changes clean on every chord switch so the borrowed flats don't blur together.

By the time this one feels easy, you'll be genuinely comfortable moving between major, minor, and seventh chords in real time — a skill that transfers to almost everything you'll play next.
