Treasure Bruno Mars piano: a series of rich chords.

The sequence of chords you will need to master is as follows:

• Bb7sus7

• cm
• BB

Each of these chords brings a unique color to the progression, contributing to the overall mood of the song.

Before tackling rhythm, make sure you understand and master each chord individually.

Practice moving smoothly from one chord to the next, particularly working on the transitions between chords. Once you're comfortable with the individual chords, move on to the rhythm of the song.

Treasure Bruno Mars piano: a syncopated rhythm

You will need to work on the following rhythmic figures on the piano:

Half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, dotted eighth notes and sixteenth notes. I advise you to work slowly (50 bpm) in order to be precise in your placements. When you are comfortable at this speed, progress two by two with your metronome until you reach 116 bpm. At this speed it will take you time to master this arrangement.
Good practice !
