So This Is Love (from Cinderella): E-Z Play Today

A waltz that moves with genuine grace and romantic warmth. The melody floats over a gently rocking accompaniment, creating the sense of spinning slowly through an enchanted moment rather than anything frantic or showy.

Elementary and early middle school pianists working toward actual performance capability rather than exercise books. Students learning to play from notation while building familiarity with film music that resonates across their peer group.

• Shape the melodic line with subtle dynamic peaks rather than playing at one volume throughout. The waltz rhythm wants to breathe.
• Listen for the harmonic movement in the left hand; let those changes guide your tempo and phrasing rather than relying on metronome rigidity.
• Balance the melody so it sits naturally above the accompaniment without forcing a dramatic separation. This is an intimate moment, not a showpiece.

Pair this with other Disney arrangements for a spring concert exploring film music, or use it as a solo showcase piece for a student pianist during an ensemble concert. Works especially well in programs that include younger students, since it bridges accessibility with real musicality.

• Reading and sustaining 2/4 or 3/4 meter with consistent pulse
• Shaping a melody over moving harmonic accompaniment
• Balancing left-hand chords with right-hand line without dynamic overpowering
• Pedal choices in a romantic, lyrical context
