The Robin Hood Song

Caleb is having a fun summer learning all sorts of awesome piano songs from the radio and old movies.

Here is a favorite of many; Everything I Do (I Do It For You) from the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves soundtrack:

Piano Boy

It is summertime and Caleb has some extra time on his hands, so we went to the music store and got him all sorts of piano music.

We are usually calling Caleb "the Piano Boy", so we thought this would be a fitting song.

Here is Caleb playing Billy Joel's "Piano Man":

Only Hope

Caleb often plays songs to entertain his mom. She likes this song called "Only Hope" that Mandy Moore sang in a movie called "A Walk To Remember".



Oh, and the ear phone he has in his ear is connected to a new metronome we got. Caleb thinks he looks like a secret agent!

Chariots of Fire

We showed Caleb a video on You Tube of the movie Chariots of Fire where people were running on the beach to this song. Caleb thought it was pretty neat. He also thought it was funny if he could play the song and some one could run in the background in slow motion.

We don't have someone running in the background here, but here is Caleb's rendition of Chariots of Fire:

End of the Year School Talent Show!

Caleb played the piano in his school's end of the year talent show.

He has been working on learning Clementi's Sonatina No. 3, and so he wanted to play it for his school. If you'd like to see the video of his school performance you can click on the link at the side under "Caleb's Recitals and Public Performances ".

For a more close up view and maybe a little more learned, here is a video of him playing the Sonatina at home a week later:

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:
