My favourite songs this month

Here are a few songs that I've been listening to this month.
My Mom always listens to "Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive" by Ella Fitzgerald and I like it too. 

"In the Mood" by Glenn Miller is a fun song!


"Mumbles" by Oscar Peterson & Clark Terry is funny!


I really like a lot of the songs by Kronos Quartet!
One of my favourites is "Ya Habibi Ta'ala".  

I got to hear them play it in person but we didn't video tape it.

I even got to meet the members of the Quartet!



I miss playing Guitar

I was supposed to start back guitar classes this month but I stopped because my parents can't afford it right now. I really miss it.
I hope that I'll be able to go back one day soon. I had a really good teacher.

I was mentioned in a blog!

Hi Everybody,
Jamie Musselwhite mentioned me in his blog!
He was the Piano Tuner who took care of all of the Street Pianos for "Play Me I'm Yours".

Still thinking of the Street Pianos in Toronto

Even though I'm in Montreal, I still think about the Street Pianos in Toronto.
I heard it's been a rough week there. They had a lot of rain!
I hope they are still working.

I am really glad that I got to play most of the pianos!
My favourite ones were at OCAD - Nicaragua, the Sam McBride Ferry - Columbia, Nathan Philips Square - Canada, Courthouse Square Gardens - Guatemala and the one at Corus Quay - Dominican Republic.

Jamie Musselwhite has been taking care of the pianos and Mom has been reading his twitter updates for me.

Some of my favourite songs

Here are some of my favourite songs right now.

Niccolo Paganini's Caprice #24
Just look at his fingers!


Isaac Albeniz's Suite Espanola, Asturias


Papageno's Song from Mozart's Magic Flute
The words are a little crazy though.


Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights from Romeo and Juliet
I love the dancing too!


Chopin's Tristesse.
I like the tempo changes.


Symphony #25 in G Minor by Mozart


And of course Waltz by Petrov.


McGill Conservatory Day Camp - Call us, maybe

They made this video in camp yesterday.
You can see me at about 45 seconds into the video.


I don't really know the song.
Can you spot me the second time I show up in the video?

Day 7 - I found all of the Toronto Street Pianos!

I found the last of the Street Pianos!
It was the "Trinidad and Tobago" piano by Brian Wong at the CIBC at Yonge and Eglinton.

 Afterwards, we went back to the OCAD piano. It was one of my favourites.
I enjoyed going all over Toronto and playing almost all of the Street Pianos. I liked performing for people all over and meeting lots of new people.
Thanks for reading my blog!
