an original composition

with randy's musical talents, it is no surprise that he is already working on madeleine's musical training. randy has shown me daily exercises to do with her on the piano to help her develop perfect pitch, and then i also let her have play time on the piano at least once a day where i hold her on my lap and let her pound away. she loves this.

lately, she has figured out that she can take her musical training into her own hands as well. she climbs up the leg of the piano, stands on her tip-toes and reaches up to the keys with one hand and then plays the keys until she loses her balance and has to stop.



i managed to sneak a brief video of her playing, which is difficult to do, due to her recent fascination with the camera.

I'm pretty sure I heard some musical phrasing in there! (Ha, ha, ha...)

i think she's been listening to randy play bartok a lot lately and that is where she gathered her inspiration.

Great timing in 3/4. She's bound to have musical genius in her, coming from both sides.
