What Else Can I Do? (from Encanto): E-Z Play Today

This arrangement captures the vulnerability and determination that make the song resonate with young performers. The 8-page layout gives enough space to really dig into the emotional arc without overwhelming beginner pianists, and the Disney connection ensures your students will be genuinely invested in learning it.

Introspective at first, gradually building toward self-assured resolution. The piece balances accessible accessibility with real dramatic arc, making performers feel the weight of the character's moment while staying well within technical reach.

Elementary and middle school pianists who connect with contemporary film music and want to learn a song with genuine emotional depth. This works beautifully for students building confidence in reading leadsheet-style arrangements and interpreting character through music.

• Balance the vocal melody line with careful pedal work to create space for the accompaniment without muddying the harmony.
• Mark the emotional shifts throughout the piece; the song moves from introspection to affirmation, and your tempo flexibility should reflect that journey.
• Practice the left hand patterns separately until they become automatic, freeing your attention for expressive phrasing in the melody.

Feature this as a solo piece during a family concert or school assembly where Disney repertoire resonates with your audience. It also pairs well in a program exploring character songs from film and musical theater, especially for showcasing student pianists ready to handle pieces with theatrical dimension.
