Had the pleasure of playing this beautiful piano just outside of the Frisco Discovery Center:
Shirō Sagisu – Rei 1
From Neon Genesis Evangelion! So mysterious. Who is Rei? What is her DEAL even???
Beethoven – Sonatina No 1 Exposition
Short and sweet this week! A little phrase from a very young Beethoven.
Nobuo Uematsu – To Zanarkand!
From FFX! Wildly beautiful. For 9 year old Chris, this was the midi arrangement that played on his Neopets page! 😂
Billy Strayhorn — Take the "A" Train
🚞 An oldie but a goodie
Gwynn — Woodland Waltz
A sweet dance from one of my Mom's old piano books 🦌
Faber – The Medieval Piper
Been enjoying sightreading short and sweet 5-finger pieces like this.
Satin Doll
Trying out stride piano! All without looking at my hands 🙌
Time to Boogie Woogie!
Walking that bass! Trying out playing without looking at my hands as well.
Followed this great video tutorial for the tune
New Album — Flowers 🌸
Incase you missed it! Celebrating the arrival of spring! I've always loved how these two flowers speckle the hills and fields this time of year.
