This piece is a clever way to work on your smile while you perform and get your audience smiling. The idea in writing this piece was considering what a person does with their smile. One can keep it or share it. Often times flashing a smile can make a difference. We hope you enjoy playing this upbeat feeling song and don’t forget to smile when you are finished!

There is a substantial amount of lever changes throughout this piece. If it becomes too cumbersome, you could easily omit measures 80-93 and continue playing without altering the integrity of the piece.

Did you know that there are health benefits to smiling? Smiling makes us attractive, changes our mood, relieves stress, boosts your immune system, lowers your blood pressure, releases endorphins, lifts the face and makes you look younger, makes you seem successful and helps you stay positive. Smiling is contagious.

Pure yellow — the most cheering of all colors — represents creativity and playfulness, while more subtle hues of yellow promote feelings of harmony and well-being.
The musical artists of Watercolor Harps, Tammy Naze of Algoma and Cheryl Murphy of Green Bay, invite you to escape into their impression of the color yellow. Their goal is to create a CD series based on a color palette, painting "watercolored" sounds — audible imagery — to match your mood, or help you create a new one.
