Can You Imagine That? (from Mary Poppins Returns): Ukulele

This arrangement delivers an upbeat, narrative number that gives ukulele students a chance to play recognizable Disney material without requiring advanced technique. The seven pages offer enough musical substance to feel rewarding while remaining manageable for ensemble or solo performance.

Whimsical and inventive, with the playful energy of Mary Poppins herself. The tune invites performers to enjoy the storytelling quality of the melody while the harmonic language feels accessible yet sophisticated enough to hold an audience's attention.

Ukulele players at the intermediate level who want to tackle contemporary Disney repertoire with melodic interest. This works well for ensemble classes, small group performances, or students seeking material that connects modern film music to traditional ukulele pedagogy.

• Keep the tempo buoyant and conversational; these lyrics carry the musical story, so clarity of rhythm matters as much as any technical flourish
• Balance the melodic line against any harmonic accompaniment so the tune never gets buried, even in full ensemble voicings
• Lean into the character of the text; the song's charm depends on a certain lightness in the articulation

Include this in a concert celebrating film music or Disney arrangements, pairing it with other contemporary songs your students know and love. It also serves as an engaging tool for winter or spring concerts when lighter, more entertainment-focused programming balances heavier classical selections.

• Reading and performing contemporary melodic writing
• Maintaining rhythmic clarity while delivering lyrical content
• Playing within an ensemble arrangement while preserving melodic independence
