Very beautiful song to listen to and even better to play. Being able to play this required rapid arpeggio and fractured chord change. Double plucking as well as normally playing the strings to play the base and cover sounds really great. Enjoy!

Andantino by A. Khachaturian
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSaxmCfvZv8
This is Andantino by A. Khachaturian: a fairly difficult section. The timing is odd as the notes change on every fifth beat. That was one of the main difficulties but the bigger one was the rapid notes with the left hand change on the third note- very odd. But I was able to over come by practice; this is Andantino by A. Khachaturian: enjoy.
The Sick Doll
This is the complete The Sick Doll from Tchaikovsky’s Album From the Young. I practiced for a fair amount of time to finally complete the entire song. The song itself isn’t impossible but the timing is odd and it was difficult to get the tempo set in my mind but I did it! Here is the Sick Doll; enjoy!
Video coming soon!
Dolls Funeral
I have finally completed the Dolls Funeral by Tchaikovsky. This one of my favorite songs of all the songs that I have learned. I also learned Minute in G Major, Moonlight Sonata, The Sick Doll, and of course The Dolls Funeral. I felt like I did well on learning the notes but I need to improve on playing a perfect consecutive time signature. The Dolls Funeral is below, enjoy!
Tell Tale Heart Soundtrack
This is a sound track of The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe. This soundtrack is a small summary of what happened during the story. In The Tell Tale Heart, a mad man is tormented by an old man’s eye. He believes that the eye will keep tormenting him if the old man continues to live. So, the mad man breaks into the old man’s house and kills him. While hiding from the police within the floorboards, he thinks that he hears the old man’s still beating heart. The mad man thinks that the police will hear the heart and find him so he confesses.

- Rondo all Turca (Part 1)
The way to stay loose when recording your piano track is to just keep looping the song (playing it over and over) and don’t worry about getting one perfect take.

Rondo alla Turca Part 3 and 4
Rondeu ala Turka prt 3 and 4: I have practiced day and night to make this piece near perfection. I learned the parts after three weeks and then I started my Garage Band project. First I recorded it, then I created and added the drum track, and posted it to my blog. Through this process I’ve learned coordination and patience. I had a lot of fun learning this and I hope that you enjoy Rondo alla Turca part 3 and 4.
