For Beethoven | Insane Version of Für Elise Musical Manuscript 2022-07-08 | This insane version of Für Elise was arranged by @MusicalBasics, and is one of my favorite pieces to play currently.I decided to record this piece in sections similar to my last video, so there are a few places where you will notice that.I hope you all enjoy this piece!
Random Piano Shenanigans | Mellow Improvising (POV) Musical Manuscript 2025-10-02 | Here is a raw uncut video of my creative making process.It’s pretty much just letting my brain come up with whatever it wants to, whether or not certain melodies sound cohesive together or not.Oftentimes, some of my best ideas come from semi-improvisation because it is easy to get stubborn and force melodies to go where I want them rather than letting them take me where it wants to go.But when I let loose, I’m able to look back and pick my favorite parts and think about how I can use those ideas to compose a piece in the future.So this video isn’t too interesting and I considered not posting it BUT I want to have this documented so that I can look back and see how far I’ve come with improvising.The goal is to improvise like @MusicalBasics!My equipment:Piano - Casio GP-510Camera - GoPro Hero13 BlackWatch - Casio F-91W
45 Seconds of INSANE Piano Shredding | EPIC Piano POV Musical Manuscript 2025-09-29 | I composed this a few months ago and plan to create a full piece using these melodies and ideas.It's pretty cool looking at what I've got here and seeing the style of @MusicalBasics shine through my playing and my compositions.After all, I learned from his videos almost exclusively to get where I am today. I studied his movements and adopted his playing style and eventually got those arpeggios down after a LOT of practice.I also just finished composing another piece that I honestly think is one of my best works, it is very difficult so I am practicing it for a while until I am ready to post it.I think that the melodies in this video would be fun to improvise with, so I may do that for this Thursday's improv!P.S. Yes, I am wearing bunny slippers. I thought I would show them off too ;)Anyways, here's my gear:Piano - Casio GP-510Camera - GoPro Hero13 BlackWatch - Casio F-91WSweatpants - Hollister Relaxed Fleece Joggers (EXTREMELY comfy)Bunny Slippers - From RWBY, sadly they don't make them anymore
I Improvised… and THIS Happened | Reflective / Epic Piano Music (POV) Musical Manuscript 2025-09-25 | Give me your best name suggestions in the comments! I'll choose a winner after a week or two. As I roll out more improvisations and we do more name battles like this I'll develop a more solid timeframe for when I pick the winner.This improv took a couple of takes, but each take I played something completely different.Every time I stopped the recording and restarted, I picked a different key, a different theme, and just let it take me where it wanted.Personally, I know I've done better improvs than this one (not to say this one isn't good!) that I didn't have recorded (of course lol) but I am excited to share my growth in the realm of improvisation on this channel. My goal with improv is to get to the point where I can improvise like @MusicalBasics. When I would learn his insane piano pieces by ear, I wouldn't even realize until after I learned certain pieces that they were improvs all along, and it still blows my mind. I should have asked him more questions about improvising and composing when I got the chance to meet him at one of his concerts!Anyways, drop a name suggestion and enjoy!My equipment:Piano - Casio GP-510Camera - GoPro Hero 13 BlackWatch - Casio F-91WSweatpants - Hollister Relaxed Fleece Joggers (EXTREMELY comfy)
Watch this to have your spirits lifted. | Uplifting Piano POV Musical Manuscript 2025-09-22 | Take a break, and just listen.Let the lightweight melody lift your spirits, out from the abyss.(Cover of Hanazeve Caradhina from Made in Abyss by @Animenzzz)This piece means a lot to me. Two years ago a friend came out of state to visit me after I had moved away and during the two weeks that she came out to visit me, I learned this piece start to finish. She would sit and listen to me play on my grandparent's Steinway and this piece sort of became an anthem of our friendship.It's always a special moment when I play this piece.My equipment:Piano - Casio GP-510Camera - GoPro Hero 13 BlackWatch - Casio F-91WSweatpants - Hollister Relaxed Fleece Joggers (EXTREMELY comfy)
This will give you CHILLS | Haunting Piano Improvisation POV (the end is EPIC) Musical Manuscript 2025-09-18 | A few months ago, I challenged myself to compose a short piano piece in under an hour and threw this together.I have always been so inspired by the way @MusicalBasics improvises absolute masterpieces on the spot.When I met with him at one of his concerts, I regret not asking him more questions about how he improvises.But it turns out it comes down to practice.You may know a lot of music theory, but if you don’t actually practice the act of improvisation, you won’t grow that muscle.In fact, I know just about nothing about music theory, I just watch people’s hands and learn my pieces that way.Over the past year I have been working on my improvisation and I am very excited to be showing you.I’ll roll out a video every Thursday of me improvising on piano and I want you guys to put in the comments your best name suggestions for the improv, and I’ll choose a winner for each and that will be the title of the piece.I think that’ll be fun to do each week!I want you guys to be a part of the channel so keep an eye out for my weekly Thursday improvs and give me your best name suggestions!For now tell me what a good name would be for this epic piano song.My equipment:Piano - Casio GP-510Camera - GoPro Hero 13 Black

Also, I was having such a hard time playing this piece perfectly all the way through so I settled to record it in sections. That’s why there are some weird transitions going on.
