Easy piano arrangement in the key of B at 120 BPM. Difficulty: medium. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with minor-key chord shapes and a driving left-hand bass pattern.

Your left hand carries an oompah feel — alternating a low root note with a higher chord hit — so practice that hand alone first at around 80 BPM until the bounce feels automatic.

The three chords here — Bm7, Em, and F#m — sit close together on the keyboard, but watch the move from Bm7 to Em: your hand needs to shift cleanly without rushing the bass note underneath.

The Bm7 shape in particular deserves a few extra minutes of attention, since that added seventh can feel awkward if your fingers aren't settled before you strike.

Once your left hand is steady, bring in the right hand and focus on locking both hands to the same rhythmic pulse at full 120 BPM.

The most common stumble I see is the left hand speeding up during chord changes, so loop those transitions until they're boring.

This is the piece that'll make oompah bass patterns second nature for you — and that skill transfers to dozens of pop-rock songs down the road.
