Put On Your Sunday Clothes (from Hello, Dolly!): E-Z Play Today

This arrangement captures the infectious optimism of Herman's melody while keeping the fingerings and voicings accessible for early intermediate pianists. The E-Z Play format makes it genuinely playable without sacrificing the charm that made this song a Broadway standard.

There's genuine joy in this melody, a sense of getting dressed up and stepping out into possibility. The music bounces with optimism and charm, capturing that moment of preparation before something wonderful happens.

Students moving into early intermediate territory who want to explore Broadway repertoire with real musical substance. Teachers seeking an uplifting, engaging piece that builds both musicality and confidence in young pianists.

• Anchor the steady pulse in your left hand; the rhythm here supports a gentle, forward-moving character rather than a march despite the title
• Shape the melody with slight emphasis on the top notes of each phrase to let the tune sing through clearly
• Keep articulation light and conversational; this is an invitation to fun, not a commanding proclamation

Pair this with other Broadway selections for a lighter concert set, or use it as a solo performance piece when you want something that leaves an audience smiling. It also works beautifully as a repertoire building piece during the middle months of the school year when students need something motivating.

• Playing sustained accompaniment patterns with consistent rhythm
• Balancing melodic voicing between hands
• Phrasing longer melodic lines naturally
• Reading and executing the E-Z Play notation system accurately
