More about this title

About the Composer: Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo emerged as a major songwriting voice while still a teenager, writing and recording music that resonates deeply with young audiences. Her debut album Sour established her as both a skilled lyricist and melodist, demonstrating sophisticated harmonic sensibilities and emotional authenticity that transcends typical pop songwriting.

For young musicians, Rodrigo's trajectory from childhood performer to chart-topping artist illustrates the power of sustained musical commitment and artistic vision. Her songs have become touchstones in contemporary music education, offering bands and choirs access to repertoire that speaks directly to their own musical worlds.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the infectious energy and emotional weight of the original while staying true to grade 2.5 accessibility. Bernotas has preserved the syncopated drive and articulation subtleties that make the song compelling, giving your band permission to play contemporary music with the same care and precision you'd apply to a classical standard.

What to expect

Propulsive and emotionally direct. The arrangement channels the song's signature intensity and the raw vulnerability of the original, delivering a performance that feels present and alive rather than polished or distant.

Who it's for

Directors building concert programs that connect with student musicians through contemporary repertoire. This works for bands seeking grade 2.5 pop arrangements that still demand musicianship in rhythm, articulation, and ensemble balance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock the syncopation in your rhythm section first. The groove depends on crisp articulation and consistent subdivision, especially in passages where the band plays off-beat rhythms against the main pulse.
  • Conduct the groove, not just the pulse. Your gesture should reflect the song's character and energy so the band plays with forward momentum rather than metronomic stiffness.
  • Shape the chorus dynamics carefully. Mark in your score exactly where the sound needs to swell and where it should pull back; the emotional arc is what sells this arrangement.
  • Differentiate articulation between sections. What sounds clean and clipped in the brass might need gentler legato in the woodwinds; read the chart closely for those markings.

How to use it

Program this as a standalone concert feature or as part of a contemporary music set alongside other arranged pop and rock titles. The three-minute-fourteen-second duration makes it ideal for spring concerts or casual performance contexts where you want to demonstrate your band's versatility and connection to the musical world your students actually inhabit.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and executing syncopated rhythms with precision
  • Articulation control and consistency across a full ensemble
  • Playing with rhythmic groove and forward momentum
  • Balancing dynamic shaping with stylistic authenticity
  • Managing off-beat entries and ensemble alignment in contemporary style
