More about this title

Why we love this

This standard sits perfectly for pianists ready to play recognizable material without wrestling through complex voicings or rapid passagework. The Easy Piano setting strips away the density while keeping the song's essential charm intact, making it an ideal bridge between early-intermediate studies and jazz-inflected repertoire.

What to expect

Warm and wistful, with the urbane charm of 1930s songwriting. The melody unfolds naturally, inviting the player to sing through the keyboard while discovering the gentle sophistication beneath the surface.

Who it's for

Early intermediate pianists who want to build repertoire beyond classical studies and explore the American songbook. Students preparing for jazz appreciation or studying standards in a studio setting will find this accessible entry point into the style.

How to get the most out of it

  • Pay attention to dynamics and rubato in the melody line; the song's appeal depends on how you shape each phrase, not on technical flash
  • Balance the left hand accompaniment so it supports without overwhelming the tune
  • Approach the harmonic language with lightness; these standards thrive on ease and swing, not precision
  • Treat any syncopated rhythms as conversational rather than metronomic

How to use it

Program this during a recital segment featuring American popular song, or use it as a lighter interlude between more classical works. It also works well in student showcases focused on musical theater, jazz standards, or exploring different genres beyond traditional method books.

Skills your students will build

  • Phrasing melody with rubato and dynamic shaping
  • Playing standards and jazz-influenced harmonic language
  • Balancing melody and accompaniment textures
  • Interpreting swing rhythms and syncopation at an accessible level
