More about this title

About the Artist: Josh Groban

Josh Groban rose to prominence in the early 2000s as a crossover artist, blending classical vocal training with contemporary pop sensibilities. His ability to inhabit both operatic and mainstream musical idioms has made him a fixture in music education settings, where his recordings serve as models for expressive singing and interpretive choices across genres.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the emotional directness of Groban's signature piece without requiring advanced technique. Piano students gain exposure to a song rooted in genuine vocal phrasing, which translates into lyrical, singing-quality playing even at the easy level.

What to expect

Warm and deeply sincere, the piece unfolds with the quiet confidence of someone sharing something personal. The harmonic simplicity creates space for genuine expression rather than technical display.

Who it's for

Piano students working at the easy level who want accessible repertoire with emotional weight and cross-genre appeal. This piece works equally well for young learners building interpretive skills and adult students reconnecting with piano through contemporary songs they know.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape longer phrases with gentle dynamic swells rather than playing at a constant volume; let the melody breathe like a vocalist would.
  • Support the right-hand melody with a warm, sustained left-hand accompaniment that doesn't rush through chord changes.
  • Reserve slight tempo flexibility for the final phrases to honor the song's emotional arc without losing structural clarity.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary vocal crossovers in a recital to show the range of your piano program. It also serves as a bridge piece for students transitioning from classical to popular idioms, or as an encore that feels both personal and accessible to a general audience.

Skills your students will build

  • Playing with a singing tone and phrase continuity
  • Balancing melody and accompaniment in a flowing context
  • Interpreting dynamic shaping in a song-based structure
  • Managing sustained passages without tension
