Easy piano arrangement in the key of C at 97 BPM. Difficulty: medium. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement sits at a moderate 97 BPM, which gives you just enough breathing room to lock in the syncopated right-hand rhythms that drive the verse — but don't let that comfort fool you, because the off-beat accents will trip you up if you haven't internalized the pulse first.

Your left hand will cycle through familiar pop chord shapes in C, so spend your first few run-throughs hands-separate, letting your left hand memorize the transitions until they feel automatic.

The trickiest spot for most students is where the chorus lifts dynamically and the right hand pushes into quicker melodic phrases while the left hand keeps steady — slow that section to about 70 BPM and loop it until both hands feel independent.

Watch your sustain pedal too; change it cleanly with each chord or you'll get muddy harmonics stacking up.

This is a fantastic piece for building rhythmic confidence against a steady chord foundation, and once it clicks, you'll carry that coordination into every pop song you touch next.
