By Bruno Mars. By Andrew Wyatt, Ari Levine, Bruno Mars, and Philip Lawrence. Arranged by Matt Arnett. Pop. Octavo. 7 pages. Matt Arnett Music #683749. Published by Matt Arnett Music (A0.1079571).Another solid title from Bruno Mars, Middle School students love this piece! If you've worked with them, you know that they love heartache and broken relationships, so this song definitely delivers. I kept this one very simple and it was just fun. Students really like and find accessible the easy alto harmonies throughout. There's definitely more of an opportunity to learn about dynamics and have a powerful moment in this piece than in most pop music, but make sure you have a big drop before the third verse - students love the feeling it gives them. The piece is also notated in cut time with swung eighths, so there are opportunities to teach some more complicated metric principles as well, though you can also easily ignore those details and keep it simple for a young group. The piano part is kept very simple throughout.
