Tired of the old birthday tune that can seem slow, draggy, and not terribly festive? This new Happy, Happy Birthday tune will make your students want to dance, bop their head, and burst out singing this song spontaneously in their week! It’s a new tune, a new look, a new birthday energy for the 21st Century!
A birthday present for the eyes too!
Happy, Happy Birthday is a treat for the ears AND the eyes! Say goodbye to boring black and white music and say hello to color and beauty while you play. Artwork by Dominic Flask and music by Wendy Stevens will bring a smile to your student’s face whether it’s their birthday or not.
Happy, Happy Birthday makes beginners sound more advanced
This easy to play piece makes even beginning students sound amazing! Open fifths in the right hand coupled with an easy left hand note will make your students sound more advanced. It’s just the kind of piece young students need to make them feel confident and accomplished.

Your Happy, Happy Birthday has replaced the traditional birthday song for one of my families. They’ll grow up singing yours forever!

I just have to say that your Happy Happy Birthday song has been a total success among my students! They are so proud of themselves that they can play a special birthday song for the other members of their family on their birthday.

I had 3 students learning this at the same time. They all adored it! Two of them had back-to-back lessons and had played it for each other. So when it came to recital time, all 3 wanted to play it. I could not justify having it played 3 times in the same recital so they all 3 played it! They decided what parts they would play. So they ended up adding choreography to it. They all sang it together. We set the bench (a duo bench) so that the right end of it was where they had to play. Then each student moved the previous one down the bench as they sat down to play. At the end, they played the last chord from where they were seated. It was so much fun – their parents were proud of them.

My student had so much fun learning the Happy Birthday song! And it just so happened that the lesson in which he finished the song, was his mother’s birthday. He was so excited to play it for her when she picked him up, and she was one proud mommy!

I had a “significant” birthday over the Easter break – so asked each of my students (who were at the appropriate level) to learn “Happy, Happy Birthday” for me on their own. They were pleased to play it for me when they returned from the holiday. Very accessible to them – and sounds great.

I hope you had a wonderful “significant” birthday, Lynda! Thanks so much for the review!

My students love this piece, as I do!! They especially love to play the “Hap-py, Hap-py Birth-day!” I’ve used the first page for some very young beginning note-readers. Interestingly, so many students have April birthdays or have a family member or friend with April birthdays! Thanks for a lovely, appropriate piece!!!

This is my favourite Compose Create song to teach my students! So catchy and fun, they love it!
One of my students memorised this song and played it for his family to sing for his grandmother’s special birthday party!
