Mendelssohn - Wedding March
🤵
Funiculì, Funiculà
Carnival of Venice
🎠
Pachabel's Canon (2026)
Dvorak — New World Finale (2026)
Taking another swing, eyes of the hands!
Liszt – Liebestraum No 3 (arranged) Revisited
Revisiting this one. So romantic.
Faber — Phantom of the Keys
Nothing says spooky like the chromatic scale!
Beethoven – Rage Over A Lost Penny
Will this piece still be funny now that pennies are no longer being produced?
O Come, All Ye Faithful
Merry Christmas, everyone! ❄️
Clementi – Sonatina, Op. 36 No. 1 Mvmt. III
A huge milestone in developing proprioception! One of a handful of pieces performed with eyes off the hands and on the sheet music. You can hear me "sounding-out" the next few syllables when a sizable leap is involved. But! All around not too shabby. Progress!
Faber – Jazz Reflections
Diving back into the Faber books to get practice on proprioception!
Peach's Theme – Paper Mario 64
The Go Team – Hold Yr Terror Close
Here, the future is only so near~
Dawn from Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Miranda and I saw a rescreening of the film in theaters at the start of summer and I was NOT PREPARED for this to become a new favorite movie!
Took a few months to work at this. Definitely one of the busier pieces I've played so far, so I'm proud of that!
