Dream of Flying

      So this week I decided to step up the technicality, yet still deliver something quite beautiful. I have enjoyed this song since I heard it a few weeks back and wanted to share it with you. It is called "Dream of Flying" and it's written by a northwest artist named Brian Crain. The technicality and why this week was a hard one to deliver on is explained in this picture;

   Regardless it was incredibly fun for me to play. I felt in a dream every time I practiced it. I hope it takes you to a place in which it relaxes you and alleviates your day. Whatever emotion it draws, enjoy!

A Rose named Emma

  So I am back! Sorry for the two week break, as a diving trip and wedding took time away from the time here.

  I felt to really dig personal on this one and bring out an original composition. In my younger years I remember being judged for the choices I was making by my family, friends, and even community in some cases. At that time of trial in my life I remember a little lady by the name of Emma Rose come into my life. She is my brothers oldest daughter at the age of twelve now. Emma and I clicked from the time she was born and today even have one of the best relationships. There are days I hold dear in my memory spent with Emma when she was younger (2-3 years old), where we would play outside and wear ourselves out. When it was time to come in, we'd get cleaned up and I would rub her feet and hands and she would fall asleep in my arms. I remember feeling of her love for me and knowing she didn't judge me for my choices but loved me for who I was and what I could give. This little lullaby is what stemmed from such an awesome relationship with my dear niece Emma. This one is for you girl! All my love.

Nivoule Bianche

    This is probably the most requested song I know how to play. I wanted to share this artist early on with everyone because his music is relaxing and inspirational. This song is written by Ludovico Einaudi and he was introduced to me by my German friend Torben Scheel. I will forever be grateful for that introduction years ago and wish now to introduce you. The name of the song is Nivoule Bianche. I find this song guiding in many ways to me and my wandering mind. Enjoy and don't forget to become a follower! Let those you refer here  know as well to become a follower and check back! Much love!

PS. Again half volume or lower is best =) I wish I could play them perfectly for you but alas you cannot always have what you want!

The Descent

   This first song I chose is called "The Descent" by Michele Mclaughlin and it comes from her album Out of the Darkness. I feel that coming out of my own "Descent," it would be only appropriate to convey it through my own interpretation of playing the piano. I have always been a firm believer that the simple things brew complexities and this song delivers just in that manner. Simple combinations of broken cords and octaves form this beautifully flowing song. I apologize in advance about the raw recording but I promise as I continue to garner support I'll invest in better recording equipment and software. Until then enjoy the raw.

PS. I am finicky about sounds so if you listen to it half volume down its a slightly better sound =)

Here we go!

     After weeks of planning and preparation, I have finally begun. I present to you my piano blog in which I can share with you songs that touch me in some way. I am by no means a professional pianist but will strive to present you with my best. We can grow together in this adventure to explore a diversity of music.

    My goal in creating the blog is to provide you, the readers, with something or someplace you can come to find a reprieve from your week. I will be posting Sunday mornings every one to two weeks a new song. I hope to present to you with artists in which you can seek out on your own and even support them if you enjoy what they bring to the music scene.

   Please share with your family and friends! Invite them to come read and listen. Leave comments and feedback and I will respond and be interactive with what is given. Before you leave today, become a follower of the blog and come back frequently listening to the old and looking forward to the new.
