VIDEO: Bumble Boogie Woogie Piano Fun Show Performance

Playing the fun Bumble Boogie on stage in Armstrong Auditorium. Thanks to my brother for sending the video from the Edmond Fun Show of my performance. It was a lot of fun to play and I was thankful for the opportunity. The neatest thing for me about this was that I didn't know that Mr. GRF was in the audience until he told me at work on Monday; and he said he really liked my performance. That meant soooo much coming from him though I was glad I didn't know he was there or I would have been super nervous! :-)

Piano is Exercise

Why piano is so hard: You are reading both treble and bass clef at the same time verses most other instruments where you read only one clef at a time. Yes, that is why I always did better on the flute. Then, your right foot is pumping the damper pedal, and your left foot is pumping the soft petal, and the poor middle and often forgotten sostenuto pedal, usually the quiet more balanced one, but when you get into more advanced lessons you sometimes have to pump the middle sustenuto pedal too but you only have two legs so OH NO....that means you have to move one of the legs that you have over to pump that one! :-) Also, if you use fitness apps, you can see that you burn a lot of calories playing the piano. Both hands/arms are constantly moving, your eyes are keeping up with the music which means your brain is constantly active; and if you're playing from memory you are totally depending on brain power as well as muscle memory. Also, your feet/legs are constantly moving in pumping the pedals. Who needs the gym if you play piano! :-)
