To: Not Your Mother's Piano Teacher:

I am in great need of a piano lesson... I really can't tell you how much I love playing piano.

Now I'm working on my own 3 minute showpiece song, which is going great. Plus I joined my church's worship team band... playing worship music on the piano in the band!!

Worship, gospel, pop, all totally new styles to me... yet low and behold, all the music theory studying is paying off. And the result is ridiculously fun! whew lol

So I really could use a quick lesson or two...

My 3MM Spoken Word Lyrics

My 3MM - My Three Minute Medley Masterpiece Ballet Spoken Word Lyrics

00:00 to 03:30

  00:00

Sarabande, composed for the cembalo (harpsichord) by G.F. Handel in 1733, London

Sarabande from Suite IV in D minor, HWV 437

  00:20

I would like to dedicate this portion of the medley to the Jews of Auschwitz-Birkenau.  
That is when I first heard this as the theme song to a five hour documentary about Auschwitz-Birkenau.  

  00:50

I find that it’s harrowing tragic that German composer George Frideric Handel, who died in 1759 wrote this Symphony of the Holocaust 186 years before that horrific incident in Warsaw Poland.

  01:10

This is my interpretation of Sarabande…    Sarabande (from French sarabonda, itself derived from Spanish zarabanda) as defined by Wikipedia  ….   Sarabande is a dance in triple metre.

  01:30

And this of course is Beethoven Classic Masterpiece Für Elise...    In about ten percent of its glory.  
This is just the first 20 seconds that took me five years to learn…  This song I can play now play with Flow and with my Eyes Closed…  The reward of my years of practice, so worth it :)

  02:15

Now we move onto Pachelbel Canon, aka Canon in D, meaning in the key D major...
A soothing medley if you ask me.... Johann Pachelbel died in 1706  

  03:00

Last but not least is a little Mozart; Eine kleine Nachtmusik, meaning of course “A Little Night Music” in German. My ultimate goal is to learn to play Mozart’s brilliant piano masterpiece Ronda alla Turca, which I'm giving myself ten years to learn.... I’ve got 5 years to go….

  03:15 The End  ….   start playing  Pomp and Circumstance God Bless

Thank you for listening and God Bless…….

  03:30 real end  ….    applause… ty dw

Piano in the Sunlight

9/15/14 1905

There is a certain time of day that I love to practice piano. Sometime in the afternoon each day, the sun shines right through the window directly on my keyboard. Making it shimmer and shine brilliantly.
