Piano Solo - Level 1 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.965079
By Alessia Cara. By Alessia Caracciolo, Andrew Wansel, Coleridge Tillman, and Warren Felder. Arranged by Andrew Goodloe. Pop. Score. 4 pages. LaLaLessons.com #6425265. Published by LaLaLessons.com (A0.965079).
This easy piano version of the Alessia Cara hit brings the impact of the original with more manageable rhythms and chords for beginning students. When possible I've made sure dotted sixteenth note rhythms in the RH are followed by a chord on the beat in the LH to make counting more straightforward.
This arrangement uses circled numbers when the hand position changes. I think I caught them all!

Why am I proud of my arrangements?
To me, most arrangements are either needlessly difficult or don't really capture the "essence" of a song in the hands of a student/learning pianist!
Most of my arrangements are field-tested on my students! Many of the fingerings and editorial decisions are based on either my experience as a teacher or actual challenges my students encountered playing the arrangements.
I usually include fingerings, which is time-consuming to put in and requires a lifetime of experience.
My arrangements may not exactly match the original recording -- sometimes they leave out parts, especially when they are written for students who have less experience.
I care about page breaks and formal structure -- I try to make sure that they make sense and, whenever possible, jumping back to a D.S. or repeat makes sense and doesn't require an unnecessary page turn.
I have a classical B.Mus performance degree from Oberlin Conservatory, a M.Mus in Afro-Latin music and decades of experience as a performer in jazz, pop, Latin, and gospel music. I've also worked as a composer, arranger, orchestrator and copyist in concert music, TV/film music, and more. I'm a member of ASCAP, I was a music consultant on Mad Men, and my classical pieces have been Grand Prize winners. My trombone music has been played by the associate trombonist of the New York Philharmonic.
Working as a "rhythm section" player has helped me decide what is important in an arrangement and what isn't, and I often put a note or two in the "right" places to help students keep a rhythmic vitality going when performing.
Just think, all of that experience helped me prepare this music for you, all for the price of an (admittedly fancy) cup of coffee.
