More about this title

About the Artist: Emma Stone, Callie Hernandez, Sonoya Mizuno & Jessica Rothe

Emma Stone is an Academy Award-winning actress and vocalist whose work in La La Land brought renewed attention to her musical abilities. The ensemble cast of this film, which includes Callie Hernandez, Sonoya Mizuno, and Jessica Rothe, performed this iconic musical number as part of one of the most celebrated contemporary film musicals.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the infectious energy and infectious joy of the original film scene without requiring a full ensemble. Students get immediate gratification playing a recognizable, sophisticated melody that sits well on the piano, making it ideal for intermediate players who need motivation to practice.

What to expect

Bright, aspirational, and celebratory. The piece radiates the optimism and camaraderie of the original scene; it feels like sneaking into a party full of possibility and dancing without overthinking it.

Who it's for

Intermediate pianists who want to perform recognizable contemporary music without tackling a full score. Teachers looking for engaging supplementary repertoire that connects students to film and popular culture.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the tempo buoyant and slightly playful; this piece thrives on forward momentum rather than dramatic weight.
  • Balance the right hand melody with a light left hand accompaniment so the tune stays in the foreground.
  • Pay attention to dynamics marked in the score; they shape the emotional arc of the piece from excitement to introspection.
  • Experiment with the pedal sparingly to maintain clarity in the faster passages and ensemble moments.

How to use it

Include this on a recital or student showcase to reach audiences beyond traditional classical music circles. It pairs well with other film music selections or can anchor a contemporary music set that appeals to students exploring diverse repertoire beyond the canon.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing melodic and accompaniment textures in the right hand
  • Maintaining steady rhythmic drive in contemporary idioms
  • Interpreting dynamic markings to shape phrasing and emotional intent
  • Translating ensemble energy to solo piano performance
