    In all seriousness, if this is your brother's first time playing piano, then he picked that up unbelievably fast.

      @MrMarci878 7 лет назад +1

      You mean I sounded worse than that when i first started playing?
      Thank god i use headphones for practice, i couldnt bear anyone listening to that lol

    • @8ytan
      @8ytan 7 лет назад +1

      + MrMarci878 I don't know about worse, depends what song you started with.

    • @MrMarci878
      @MrMarci878 7 лет назад +2

      It was just a joke mate, anyone starting out would sound terrible since you have to get a feel for the instrument.
      How it responds to your touches if you know what i mean lul

    • @ciri151
      @ciri151 7 лет назад +16

      It's pretty hard to sound terrible on a piano. It's not like a guitar or violin where you sound awful if you put your finger at the wrong spot, or you press too hard or whatever.. On a piano when you press a key you always get a clear sound.

    Wow, Kristen you are very talented and fun to hear your playing these older tunes that most people don't hear today. Your brother is a hoot. But as a parent myself, I have to say I loved your Mom saying you were her favorite and then the reactions from both of you, classic! Obviously a family that loves to tease each other, and very loving and supportive of each other. Never lose any of that!

    @cynthiamoon372 5 лет назад +7

    My three older sisters tried to teach me to play the piano. Each had a different idea of what is “right”. It was maddening. Finally mom had a real teacher square me away. Eventually I became an accomplished pianist so I could work in a bar to pay for college. Mom was mortified that I spent evenings in a bar.

    • @sdgathman
      @sdgathman 4 года назад

      A bar can be good or bad, depending on whether it's like an English Pub with fellowship around tables, or an American Saloon where addicts go to get drunk and the owner is a pusher. And then there is the mixed offspring where people desperate for romance go to find ill advised alcohol fueled matches.

    This video is so hilarious and down right truthful when it shows the gaping cavern between "easy looking" inspired and when you try to duplicate that inspiration. I play piano and struggle to read music. I enjoy playing by ear more. But it's fun to watch people learning and growing on the keys.

    Many years ago I was hanging around Coke's Corner at Disneyland and when the piano player went for a break, he said it was ok for me to play something. I played the introduction to Maple Leaf Rag. That was all I had memorized. 12th Rag by Euday Bowman is a great one as well to play. I like your little improvisations on the orginal sheet music.

    “But Kristen’s my favorite” I’m sure that’s true. I grew up in a house like that. My younger sister was my Mom’s favorite, and there was never any doubt about it. Ironically, when my Mom could no longer take care of herself, I was in charge of taking care of her.

    btw, and quick edit, super crazy amazingly talented. absolutely blown away by your level of play. I wish I was that good at anything.
