Sonatina Op. 36, No. 1

Here is Caleb's latest new song he has been working on. It has 7 pages with many repeats, but this is just the first 2 pages. We are wondering if he will be learning the rest, or maybe he'll be doing this for the next recital. We will see. We are quite entertained by all his hand flying.

Nocturne of Happiness the Extended Version

Caleb once again was lucky to play his mommy's favorite song. This one is a little more fancier than the one paged one he used to play. The music is written to use the pedal, but Caleb is still too short to reach them, so it makes the song not as flowing as it could be. He tries his best to connect those long stretchy notes!

Follow the Prophet

Caleb loves playing this primary song from church. I think it is because it has 9 verses and he can play it over and over and over again. Too bad you only get to hear 1 verse! Ha!

The Wild Horseman

Caleb has a new song he likes to play. We think it sounds like one of those old silent movies that had people riding around on horses and shooting at each other. It's called The Wild Horseman.

Caleb's 1st Piano Recital

Caleb had his first piano recital tonight at a real concert hall. He got to play 2 songs he's been working on on a big stage in front of an audience. We were all nervous, but Caleb did an awesome job!

Here's a video of his great performance:

Can You Tell The Difference?

Caleb has been taking piano lessons now for 2 whole months. Our question is; do you notice a difference in the way he is now playing, or do you see an improvement? We do! Here he is on that song he's been learning, now completing the whole thing and with much better timing:



What do you think?

Clair De Lune

Per his Grandpop's request, here is Clair De Lune. (Some of you may have become refamilarized with this piece due to the movie Twilight.)
