Easy piano arrangement in the key of G at 115 BPM. Difficulty: beginner. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build your left-hand independence through an Alberti bass pattern — that broken-chord technique where your fingers roll low-high-middle-high beneath the melody.

Start hands-separate at around 80 BPM until that left-hand pattern feels automatic, especially under the Bm and Cmaj7 chords, where your fingers need to stretch a bit wider than the simpler Em and C shapes.

The trickiest moment is the transition from Bm to C: your left hand has to shift position quickly while keeping the Alberti rhythm unbroken, so loop just that two-chord change until it's smooth.

Once you bring hands together, resist speeding up to the full 115 BPM too soon — the sad, haunting quality of this melody actually sounds better when you stay relaxed and even.

Light sustain pedal on each chord change will help everything sing.

This is the piece that'll make Alberti bass feel like second nature.
