Easy piano arrangement in the key of Db 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 in the key of D-flat — five flats can look intimidating, but with only four chords (Db, Ab, Eb, Fm) your hands will settle into the black-key geography faster than you'd expect.

Your left hand carries a walking bass line at 120 BPM, so start hands-separate and slow it to around 80 until the stepwise motion between chord roots feels automatic — the Fm to Ab transition is where most students fumble because the walk covers more distance.

Your right hand deals with syncopated melodic pushes that land just before the beat; count eighth notes out loud until those anticipations feel natural rather than rushed.

Once each hand is steady, combine them in four-bar loops, especially through the pre-chorus where the energy lifts.

Watch your pedal changes carefully on every chord switch — D-flat's rich overtones will blur into mud if you're lazy with the sustain.

This is the piece that will lock in your I–V–vi–IV instincts across all those beautiful black keys, so trust the shapes and enjoy the groove.
