Piano Covers

So, this is something that maybe probably sort of likely will happen. I've considered taking videos of me (well, my hands) playing songs on the piano, and then posting them to this blog. What do you guys think? It would be pretty rare, since my camera might not work, and the sound quality could be bad, but it's a though.

If I do post videos, the first one is likely to be "On My Own" from Les Miserables. And maybe "God Help the Outcasts" as a second?

PLEASE tell me what you think and any song recommendations (I have Les Miz, Phantom, Disney, West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Love Never Dies, and lots more). I have mostly musical songs, but also some very well known songs, so leave some ideas! Thank you!

  1. I'd LOVE to see you do piano covers. I'm currently learning to play the piano and I think I'd like to be able to do piano covers when I'm fully able to play the piano! Do post them! :D xx

  3. I would love to see your piano covers. I love music and instruments, but sadly I am just no good at playing instruments, and I've tried many of them (ehh. Not many...only like 6 or so, which in comparison to how many instruments exist is nothing)

    Hmm. Here are some of my favorite piano covers:
    Viva la Vida (by Coldplay)
    A Thousand Years (by Christina Perri)
    Secrets (by OneRepublic)
    Continued Story (from Code Geass xD it's from an anime but the song is really good)

    Please post your covers! :)

  4. that is a very good idea. I just saw on your side bar that you are reading Les Mis. I just started it!! I'm on the second book of volume two.

  5. Er, I tried to post a comment earlier but either it didn't work or you just didn't want to accept it but let me try again just in case :)

    I would love to watch your piano covers!!! I suck at playing instruments, put simply. I am just no good at it. But I love watching song covers on YouTube and would like to see yours! :)

    As for some song ideas:

    A Thousand Years (song by Christina Perri)
    Secrets (song by OneRepublic)
    Viva la Vida (song by Coldplay)
    Continued Story (from the anime Code Geass)

    Don't know if you're going to do any of these, but those 4 are some of my favorite piano covers! Can't wait to see your first one :)

    And by the way, can I post about fairy tale retellings for a guest post?

    1. Don't worry, it worked just fine! It just took me a while. And fairy tale retellings would be AWESOME :).

  6. I've tried posting my comment three times... And I don't think there was any profanity or flaming, so maybe you just didn't like my comment, but I'm going to try one more time just in case.

    I would love to watch your piano covers!!! I'm really bad at playing instruments myself (well, bad at the 6 instruments I've tried), so instead I love watching people play. You should look up The Piano Guys, they have amazing covers.

    Some song ideas to cover:
    -A Thousand Years (song by Christina Perri)
    -Viva la Vida (song by Coldplay)
    -Secrets (song by OneRepublic)
    -Continued Story (from the anime Code Geass)

    Not sure if you'll cover these songs, but they are some of my favorite piano covers! :)

    1. I am SO SORRY. I have to wake up really early to go to camp and I don't go on my computer then, and then camp lasts all day and when I get home I've been forgetting to check :(. So sorry!
      Wow, 6 instruments? Which ones did you try?

  7. It's okay, haha. Sorry for posting my comment so many times...

    I've tried piano, flute, guitar, violin, alto saxophone, and clarinet... I can't play the blowing instruments (if that's what they're even called...) as I just make these awful squeaky noises. And my violin playing is horrendous, to put it mildly. As for piano and guitar, I still try to play those, but I can only play very simple songs, haha.

    Okay! I'll get that fairy tale retelling post to you as soon as possible :)

      Wow, that's really cool! I play the alto sax, and it is hard not to squeak. It just takes A LOT of practice.
      Yay!

Hi! I always LOVE to hear what my readers have to say, and it would make my day if you would comment! I'm sure you all know what's accepted and what's not, so I'm not going to bug you with a bunch of rules. Pretty much keep it clean, no profanity, and no flaming. Thanks!
