How to Practice APT. on Piano
ROSÉ & Bruno Mars
About this piece
An infectious, high-energy pop track with a driving piano hook. Despite the fast tempo, the piano part itself is built on simple repeated patterns that are very beginner-friendly.
Practice tips
- The main hook is a short, punchy repeated chord pattern — practice it at 100 BPM first, then gradually increase to the full 148 BPM over several days.
- The Bb major chord shapes sit naturally under the hand on the black keys — use the Bb and Eb as tactile anchors to find your position without looking.
- Keep the rhythm tight and percussive by lifting your fingers sharply off the keys — this song is about rhythmic energy, not smooth legato.
Common mistake
Losing the groove by focusing too much on individual notes — the rhythmic feel matters far more than hitting every note perfectly.
