More about this title

Why we love this

The E-Z Play Today format strips away unnecessary complexity while keeping the melody and harmonic integrity intact, making this 1925 standard accessible to students who might otherwise skip over jazz standards. The two-page length respects attention spans and practice time while delivering an authentic piece of American musical theater history.

What to expect

Intimate and gently playful, like a conversation between two people sharing a quiet moment. The melody dances above steady harmonic support, unfolding with the understated charm that made this 1925 number a lasting favorite.

Who it's for

Early-intermediate pianists exploring jazz standards and musical theater repertoire. Students ready to move beyond classical exercises but not yet comfortable with full lead sheets or complex voicings.

How to get the most out of it

  • Let the melody sing through the right hand with a relaxed, conversational quality. This isn't a technically showy piece; clarity and phrasing matter far more than speed.
  • Treat the harmony as supportive rather than ornamental. Keep left-hand accompaniment light and swing the eighth notes slightly to capture the era's feel.
  • Find the natural breathing points between phrases and use them to reset dynamics and momentum, especially over the course of the tune's gentle arc.

How to use it

Perfect as a solo recital piece for students demonstrating jazz standard literacy, or pair it with other Broadway selections for a musical theater showcase. Consider it a bridge between classical training and jazz exploration.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading leadsheet-style notation and figured harmony
  • Swing phrasing and subtle rhythmic interpretation
  • Balancing melody and accompaniment independently
  • Understanding jazz standard form and structure
