Easy piano arrangement in the key of E at 80 BPM. Difficulty: medium. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a fantastic workout for playing confidently in the key of E — four sharps means your fingers need to feel at home on F#, C#, G#, and D# without hesitation.

Your left hand plays block-style bass, so focus on locking in clean chord shapes, especially the C#m and F#m7 voicings where your hand has to stretch across black keys.

At 80 BPM you have breathing room, but watch the transitions from B7 to C#m and from G#m into A — those shifts cover real distance on the keyboard.

I'd suggest learning hands separately first, then loop the chorus at half speed until the chord changes feel automatic.

The power chords (Epow, Bpow) should land with weight but stay controlled — resist banging.

If sharp-heavy keys have ever felt intimidating, this is the song that'll make E major feel like home territory.
