Was playing a Chinese song (月亮代表我的心) for my mom on mother's day. Tripped over some notes but the effect was cooler than I intended 🤭

Original song sounds like this: (in a different key) youtu.be/hj4bnnek9MU

Let me entertain you with The Entertainer! Or rather my embarrassing beginner's rendition... Might not be a good idea to use the RODE mic after all as it picks up all the details of my laboured breathing and bad playing 😳

Memory from Cats (musical), played to a collection of memories from mid-May over the past decade. Things I miss: travel, playing with the orchestra, hanging out with people...

(Yeah, could've added piano accompaniment to the video, maybe next time 🤷‍♀️)

One year ago: Trips for orchestra and conferences AND visiting friends & family 😭😭😭

Theme from Dvorak's - Largo. Originally played by the English Horn, transposed and butchered by me. Now I'm just getting complacent and transposing everything to the comfortable lower register. Need to break out of my comfort zone and face the high notes. 😱

The series features an incompetent inspector Clouseau, so this White Penguin series gets me as the inept player 🤪

(also an incompetent videographer - didn't think the sun's glare would totally wash out Fuzzbutt the penguin until too late)
