More about this title

Why we love this

This piano/vocal/chords arrangement gives singers and pianists a flexible, accessible framework for interpreting a classic story song. The chord symbols mean pianists can comp freely, add textures, or simplify based on their level, while singers focus on narrative clarity and character.

What to expect

This piece has the warmth and humor of a well-told anecdote. The chord symbols suggest flexibility, swing, and personality; whether you lean into comedic storytelling or wry observation depends entirely on your interpretation.

Who it's for

Singers preparing cabaret, musical theatre, or jazz-inflected vocal recital material will find this a natural fit. Pianists comfortable with chord-based accompanying and singers seeking conversational, character-driven repertoire will connect immediately.

How to get the most out of it

  • Establish the story's arc before diving into the music. Clarity about who this 'new girl' is and why she matters will shape your phrasing and the pianist's accompaniment choices.
  • Use the chord chart as an invitation to dialogue between voice and piano. The pianist needn't play every chord symbol literally; choose voicings that support the story's emotional momentum.
  • Lock in the lyrical rhythm first, then work with your pianist to find places where the accompaniment can breathe or fill space around the vocal line.

How to use it

Pair this with other character songs or narrative-driven vocal pieces to build a themed recital set. It works equally well as a charming opener or an engaging mid-program moment that showcases a singer's sense of humor and the pianist's comping skills.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and interpreting chord symbols in real time
  • Narrative phrasing and character development in vocal delivery
  • Collaborative listening between singer and pianist
  • Stylistic flexibility and improvisation within a chord framework
