Talent Show 2010

Caleb was very excited to perform in a talent show this last month. He had so much fun performing a preview of a song he's working on, and then 2 other full songs.

You've already heard him play his Piano Concerto in A Minor, but here is the other song he played for the show; Ballade by Burgmuller:

He can't wait for next year to hope they do another talent show!

Piano Concerto in A Minor

Caleb has been working on this new song that he will perform in a talent show.

Here is Piano Concerto in A Minor by Grieg:

Piano Competition in Park City

Caleb went to Park City, Utah for his first piano competition.

He played his Spinning Song and Bach's Invention No. 1.

There were a bunch of older kids there who played too. He didn't win this time, but he can try again next year. Maybe in a few years when he is bigger he can win if he practices really well.

He had fun and got a certificate and a prize.

Here he is pretending to win the big trophy:

Caleb's Spring Recital!

Caleb performed in his Spring Piano Recital on Monday night playing 3 songs:

-Invention No. 1 by Bach,

-Siciliana by Schumann,

and

-Piano Concerto No. 1 by Tchaikovsky

He did such a good job and he was so cute too!

Caleb's Composition Wins Best in Region!

Caleb went to an award ceremony this week to receive an award for his musical composition he created last October.

He won out of his division for his school, and then went on to win out of his age division for the region.

Here he is with his composition and his medal:

He even got to meet the mayor!
Here is a picture of him with the mayor and his daddy:

Here he is accepting his award with the other winners in musical composition:

Next his composition goes onto the state level.
Congratulations and good luck!

A New Song, but Not the Real Deal

Caleb really likes this song, but it isn't quite the real thing.
This is Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1.
The real Piano Concerto No. 1 is pretty intense with orchestra and major playing, but anyway, this one isn't so bad, and Caleb likes it a lot.

We shall see if he gets to play it in a recital if not just for fun.

Caleb's Piano Solo at Church

Caleb was lucky to be asked to play a piano solo at church during Christmas. He played the song Still, Still, Still. Everyone thought he did really well. We couldn't record it in church, but here is a video of him practicing:
