More about this title

Why we love this

The E-Z Play format strips away unnecessary complexity without sacrificing the infectious energy of this beloved melody. Students get immediate gratification and quick success, which matters enormously when building confidence at the keyboard.

What to expect

Perky and spirited, with the unmistakable swagger of a polka. The Can Can melody practically dances off the page, inviting you to lean into its playful swagger and rhythm.

Who it's for

Early elementary to intermediate pianists ready for recognizable melodies in a simplified format. This works beautifully for students who benefit from jumping into familiar material rather than progressive method book work.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the tempo bouncy and light; resist the urge to push the tempo faster as excitement builds. Polka rhythms depend on a steady pulse for their charm.
  • Shape the melody with gentle dynamic peaks to match the phrasing of the original tune rather than playing it all at one level.
  • If a recorded accompaniment is available, practice separately without it first to lock in the melody securely before layering the two together.

How to use it

Use this as a fun recital opener or an encore that gets audiences smiling instantly. It also pairs well in a themed concert showcasing folk and classical dance forms.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading simple melodic lines in treble clef
  • Playing with rhythmic precision and articulation
  • Maintaining steady tempo in dance rhythms
  • Building confidence with recognizable melodies
