More about this title

Why we love this

The Rink sits at that rare intersection where contemporary musical theatre writing meets genuine vocal accessibility. Pianists and singers both have material that moves musicians without requiring either to vanish into the accompaniment.

What to expect

The Rink captures the bittersweet momentum of a story told through skating rinks and complex relationships. The music carries both warmth and longing, with piano writing that supports emotional storytelling without demanding virtuosic flash.

Who it's for

This is ideal for singers and pianist collaborators preparing audition material, recital selections, or rehearsing scenes for a full production. Teachers building a repertoire library of contemporary musical theatre literature will find accessible material here.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal line carefully against the piano part; the accompaniment can easily overshadow a singer without intentional dynamic restraint from the pianist.
  • Work the harmonic rhythm in your left hand so it breathes naturally rather than feeling metronomic, especially in passages with sustained chords.
  • Mark where the melody sits highest and lowest in your vocal range during first read-through; this clarifies which sections need breath management or subtle transposition options.

How to use it

Feature a selection in a contemporary musical theatre showcase or recital, pairing it with contrasting material from different eras. It also works beautifully as a rehearsal cornerstone when teaching vocalists how to navigate modern harmonic language in an intimate setting.

Skills your students will build

  • Navigating contemporary harmonic progressions in vocal music
  • Coordinating piano accompaniment with flexible vocal phrasing
  • Interpreting lyrical storytelling through song
  • Sight-reading lead sheets and chord symbols
