July 2009

I know it seems like everyone is caught up in the Michael Jackson craze, including myself. I am a fan of his music, and think that some of his bass lines are the best ever written. Anyways after a brief moment of wondering how I could express my tribute to MJ, I decided one afternoon to transcribe an old Jackson Five tune. Then I recorded it in my parent’s living room (on my favorite piano, though she is a bit out of tune). I’m not sure how long I will keep this video up, because I think it has a “cheese” potential. But if people like it, I’ll post more because I had fun doing it. Of course, anything to procrastinate from rehearsing all that Chopin is reason enough for me!

In music of Debussy, Chopin and Schumann...he played like a pro, giving clean, flowing, atmospheric performances that displayed confidence and musical know-how.
