More about this title

Why we love this

This piano/vocal arrangement gives singers and pianists direct access to a classic standard without requiring a full band arrangement or accompaniment recording. The chord symbols make it flexible enough for different harmonic approaches, whether your pianist plays it as written or uses it as a springboard for improvisation.

What to expect

Urbane and witty, with a theatrical edge that suggests both sophistication and playfulness. The standard's melody is immediately singable and memorable, making it accessible while maintaining the style and charm of its era.

Who it's for

Singers working with a pianist for recitals, lessons, or informal performances who want a flexible, straightforward arrangement of a beloved standard. This format suits jazz singers, music theater vocalists, and classical singers looking to expand into popular repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal line so it sits naturally above the piano without forcing; let the accompaniment support rather than compete with the melody.
  • Work through the chord changes with your pianist separately before full rehearsals to ensure they're comfortable with any chromatic or jazz-inflected harmony.
  • Use the written chords as a starting point for interpretation; discuss whether you want a straightforward interpretation or one with swing rhythm and rhythmic flexibility.

How to use it

Perfect for a vocal recital where you want to include a standard without committing to a full ensemble accompaniment. It works equally well in a casual cabaret setting or as a encore where you have only a pianist available.

Skills your students will build

  • Interpreting chord symbols for accompaniment voicings
  • Balancing vocal line with piano accompaniment
  • Phrasing and articulation in jazz standard style
  • Collaborative communication between vocalist and pianist
