What A Wonderful World — Visual Piano Sheet Music
72 people have learned this song
"What A Wonderful World" 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 Bb, 108 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with jazzy chord movement in the key of B♭, where your hands need to feel at home on those two flats from the start.
Your left hand plays block bass, so the challenge isn't pattern complexity — it's the sheer number of chord changes.
Eighteen chords means new shapes arrive quickly, and the chromatic ones like F♯dim, Faug, and A7 will catch you off guard if you haven't isolated them.
Start hands-separate at around 70 BPM, and loop any two-bar phrase where the chord root moves by a half step — that's where most stumbles happen.
Pay attention to the smooth walk from B♭ down through D7 to Gm; get that transition feeling automatic.
Once your left hand knows where it's going, the right hand melody sits beautifully on top.
This is the piece that'll make chromatic chord changes feel normal to you — real foundation-building for jazz piano.
