Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence moving through a handful of closely related chords in the key of B♭.

Your left hand plays block bass, so keep those notes firm and steady — the drama in this song comes from letting the right hand melody soar over a rock-solid foundation.

Pay special attention to the shift between C, C6, and C7; the differences are subtle (often just one note changing) but they color the whole mood, so isolate those three shapes slowly until your fingers find them without searching.

At 120 BPM the tempo is brisk, so start at about 80 BPM hands-separate, lock in the left hand's Bb–Dm–F–C pattern until it's automatic, then layer the melody on top.

The trickiest spot is usually the transition back to B♭ after C7 — loop that two-bar passage until it feels easy.

Stick with it: this piece will make your I–iii–V–IV progressions feel second nature.
