Hints & Tips: A triplet is a group of three notes, equal in length, which are to be fitted into the time that two notes of the same type would take. Thus the triplet quarter notes in this piece should be played within two beats. Moderately slow ( 60) —3— don’t you —3—, ary your | eye.

Composed by long-time Disney collaborator Terry Gilkyson and sung by characters Baloo and Mowgli, this song was the only track to survive from the earlier, rejected draft. Hints & Tips: Follow the words of the song to help you with the tied rhythms. 2/2 means two beats per measure, which gives this tune a bouncing, energetic feeling.

Little surprise then that this similar song appeared in the film and became a hit single, most notably for Perry Como & The Fontane Sisters. Hints & Tips: Practice the R.H. alone in measures 1-4. Note the triplet rhythms and the accidentals. Plan your fingering. These measures are repeated again in measures 5-8, and again (with a different ending) in measures 13-16.

Gabriella freezes when she sees ‘everyone staring at her, but encouraged by Troy, she finds the courage to sing this song. Hints & Tips: The chorus (measures 21-36) should be played with more energy than the rest of the song. Keep the L.H, light and bouncy and make sure the tempo doesn’t drag when you get to the tied notes in the RH, of measures 23-24 and 31-32.

Hints & Tips: There is a lot of syncopation in this song, creating a calypso feel.

Strongly influenced by Shakespeare's play Hamlet and set in the Pride Lands of the Serengeti, the movie tells the story of the relationship between a lion cub and his father. Hints & Tips: Most of the rhythms and fingering in this piece are straightforward, so take the opportunity to be ‘expressive in your performance—think about phrasing (where to breathe) and dynamics. Listen carefully to the thirds in the right hand of the chorus to ensure the two notes are sounding at exactly the same time.

Travers and starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, the 1964 musical film ‘Mary Poppins is thought by many to be the pinnacle of the Sherman Brothers’ decade-long association as staff songwriters at Disney and the crowning achievement in Walt Disney's long career in the film business.

Hints & Tips: Rather than keeping strictly to the tempo as you play this piece, achieve a relaxed, wistful feel by ‘employing rubato. This means you “give and take,” moving forward with the tempo at times and holding back with the tempo at other times.

Hints & Tips: This song is based almost entirely on the C major scale.

In 1993 this became the first Disney song ever to reach #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Hints & Tips: Don’t forget that the key signature is F Major, which means there are Bbs to remember.

Drained of all powers bar his strength, he becomes a hero by battling various monsters sent to destroy him. Hints & Tips: This up-tempo gospel number should have real pizzazz, but try not to rush. Instead, listen carefully to be sure the left and right hand notes sound at exactly the same time, particularly where there is eighth note movement in the left hand, for example, bars 3, 7, 13, 15 and 17.
