More about this title

About the Artist: Bette Midler

Bette Midler rose to prominence in the 1970s as a powerhouse vocalist known for her dramatic interpretations and commanding stage presence. Beyond her recording and performance career, she has become a cultural icon whose music spans pop, rock, jazz, and theatrical styles, influencing generations of performers who study her phrasing, emotional depth, and ability to connect with audiences.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the soaring emotional arc of one of Midler's signature songs in a form that pianists at the easy level can actually enjoy playing. The simplified voicing preserves the song's warmth and theatrical quality without requiring advanced technique, making it accessible for students who want to perform a recognizable, emotionally satisfying piece.

What to expect

Warm, tender, and hopeful. The melody soars with genuine emotion, inviting the player to slow down and feel each phrase rather than rush through the notes. This is music that asks you to listen to yourself play.

Who it's for

Pianists in their first years of study who love contemporary songs and want a piece that feels rewarding to perform. This works equally well for students preparing a casual recital, filling out a mixed repertoire program, or simply learning a song they genuinely connect with.

How to get the most out of it

  • Pay attention to the lyrical phrasing even though you're playing piano; imagine singing the melody and let that shape your touch and tempo flexibility.
  • The easy arrangement likely simplifies the original's harmonic richness, so use pedal thoughtfully to create sustain and warmth without muddying the chord changes.
  • Build the dynamics gradually through the song to mirror the emotional journey; avoid playing at the same volume throughout.

How to use it

Include this in a recital or studio showcase where you want to feature a contemporary song alongside classical or traditional repertoire. It bridges the gap between what students hear in the world and what they're learning to play, and audiences respond warmly to recognizable music performed with care.

Skills your students will build
