What A Day That Will Be — Visual Piano Sheet Music
40 people have learned this song
"What A Day That Will Be" in visual bar notation — see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of Db, 135 BPM.
This arrangement is a wonderful workout for left-hand independence — that oompah bass pattern needs to stay relaxed and steady at 135 BPM while your right hand floats the melody on top.
Start hands-separate and slower, maybe around 100 BPM, locking in the left hand's bass-note-then-chord rhythm until it feels automatic.
Playing in Db means your fingers sit naturally along the black keys, which is actually comfortable once you trust the hand shape.
Watch the move into Bbm7 and Eb7 — those transitions can trip you up if you're not anticipating the chord change a beat early.
The Ab7 resolving back to Db should feel like a satisfying exhale; lean into that.
If any section stumbles, loop just those four bars until they're boring.
This is the piece that'll make oompah patterns in flat keys feel like second nature, and the peaceful mood rewards a light, unhurried touch throughout.
