Easy piano arrangement in the key of Bb at 168 BPM. Difficulty: medium. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement will really stretch your chord vocabulary — with 28 distinct chords including maj9 and sus voicings, your hands need to find shapes like Bbmaj9 and Gbmaj9 quickly, so spend time memorizing those wider stretches before you try to play through.

Your left hand drives a steady oompah bass pattern, which sounds simple but at 168 BPM it demands relaxed, efficient movement between the root and chord — tension here will tire you out fast.

Start hands-separate and at half tempo, focusing first on the left hand's bass-chord alternation until it feels automatic.

Watch the chromatic shifts closely: you'll move between distant chords like Bb to B and Db to D, and those half-step transitions are where most stumbles happen, so loop those bars until the fingering is second nature.

This is the piece that'll make extended chords and flat-key navigation feel like home.
