Easy piano arrangement in the key of E at 90 BPM. Difficulty: medium. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement gives you a real workout in the key of E major, with fifteen chords that move through some gorgeous extended harmony — Emaj7, C#m7, F#m7, and that lovely G#sus4 resolving to G#7.

Your left hand carries a walking bass line, so start hands-separate there first: lock in those steady, even quarter-note walks at around 60 BPM before you bring it up to 90.

The trickiest transitions are the moves from C#m7 to F#7 and from G#sus4 into G#7, where your fingers need to shift quickly without breaking the legato feel — loop those two-bar passages until they're automatic.

Use sustain pedal generously but change it cleanly on each chord root to avoid muddiness, especially through the major seventh voicings.

Your right hand mostly plays smooth, connected melodic lines, so focus on shaping phrases dynamically rather than just hitting correct notes.

This is the kind of ballad that will genuinely strengthen your command of diatonic seventh chords and smooth voice leading — once these changes feel natural under your hands, you'll carry that confidence into dozens of other songs.
