The Brady Bunch: E-Z Play Today

This arrangement captures the infectious cheerfulness of the show's theme in a format that young pianists can actually play. Four pages strikes the right balance between accessibility and substance, giving students a complete, satisfying experience without overwhelming them.

Bright, cheerful, and thoroughly 1960s. The arrangement carries genuine warmth and humor, never condescending to its audience. It's the kind of piece that makes students smile when they recognize it.

Young pianists tackling early intermediate repertoire will find this engaging and motivating. Teachers looking for recognizable material that builds technique without feeling like a drill will appreciate how well this serves that dual purpose.

• Keep the tempo steady and light. The charm of this tune depends on a buoyant feel rather than rushing through the melody.
• Balance melody and accompaniment so the vocal line sings through. This isn't just a left-hand/right-hand exercise.
• Notice where the harmony shifts. DeVol's arrangement includes moments that reward careful listening and controlled touch.

Program this as a palate cleanser between more serious works, or feature it in a pop culture or television themes concert. It also works beautifully as a confidence builder early in the school year when students need wins.

• Playing recognizable melodies with proper phrasing and shape
• Coordinating melody and accompaniment patterns
• Maintaining steady tempo in a light, dance-like style
• Reading and executing straightforward harmonic progressions
