  • Love the inclusion of Spring Awakening - one of my faves.

    

  • What's with the stethoscope?

  • I can't imagine where you can go if you formally study music.

  • I am AMAZED that you do this all by ear! maybe you can make some broadway karaoke! I would love to sing to it for you!

  • I am just fascinated by all of your piano work. I hope someday I can play as well as you can. =)

  • This video reeks of awesomness. I am in love with these shows!

  • Could you only play Defying Gravity?

    I would so love it as a piano version.

  • buenisimo!

  • Wonderful!!!!

    I Am SOOOOOOOO Jealous

  • PLEASE.PLEASE.PLEASE.PLEASE.PL­EEEEEASE post an mp3!!!!

  • PLEASE post an mp3 link to this =)...you have no idea how obsessed with it I am. I am a huge theatre fan, these are some of my favorite songs and you play them so, so beautifully. I like them better than the original versions.

  • Amazing...

  • BEAUTIFUL rendition, I especially liked the Another Day part. You really are gifted at piano.

  • Woah! Really beautiful. I've been playing for 10 years and I'm still not this good. This inspired me to keep working hard, though. :)

  • Great job!! Loved it! And about spring awakening, totally bring teenagers!

  • definitely my fave of all of your medleys...and that's a tough choice!

  • 5 stars ;)

  • You are just so talented. You play beautifully. Thank you for this.

  • is this all by ear? cuz i play a lot of the same songs, yet they are a little different. just curiousss

  • i would love the sheettt music for all of this..hahaha

  • rent all the way!

  • Brilliant :D I just love your playing!!

  • Great sound quality on this vid :P Beautiful job!

  • YES YES YES!!! Love it.

  • loving the smooth technique

  • awesome

  • This is absolutley beautiful and so is your playing. Thanks for posting it, definately a fave video of mine

  • OMG this gave me goosbumps!...and not just because all the songs were beautifully played, but because they just so happen to ALL be from my favorite plays ..

  • very relaxing sound i like it

    u play good :D

  • AMAZING!!!!!

  • so sad rent is over:( really wanted to see it!!

  • is it possible to download an mp3 of this?

  • amazing (: put the biggest smile on my face

  • No matter what you play, even if I don't know the song(s), you still manage to bring me to tears or near tears...your style just reminds me so much of how my father used to play before his alcoholism got the best of him. I used to love to listen to him play.

    I haven't seen Wicked either, but it's in my top 3 must-see Broadway musicals: 1) Phantom of the Opera; 2) Wicked; 3) Beauty and the Beast (and I still include that because I'm convinced it will be revived someday!!!)

  • Beauty and the Beast I don't know about but hopefully I'm going to Wicked in San Francisco and I've seen Phantom. Phanominal!

    Anyway, huge props to this player. I can't even touch this and I'm self taught.

  • Rent and Wicked my two favorite broadway shows, you amaze me!

  • Way to be. I have the most utmost respect for you. Fantastic work!

  • this is AMAZING

  • This left me speechless. WOW! Broadway Musicals are quite possibly the most amazing things on the planet and you played songs from my top 3 favorites!! Spring Awakening, RENT and Wicked!!

  • haha we have the same favorites! lol

  • Nice!!

  • Great, simply great, thanks for sharing = ).

  • am actually jealous, you make wicked look so effortless. it took me months to learn defying gravity. wow

  • 200th rating. Brill. Youve inspired me to go and practice for my lesson tonight haha.

  • wow! really good! *hey you posted this on my birthday! woohoo!*

    I just saw The Color Purple yesterday and it was amazing. Our Prayer was my favorite song from the show so thanks for putting it in your medley :]

  • I really am at a loss for the best words. I am ... in awe. (and totally envious, but in a good way) I have always been able to plunk out any tune... but only occationally can add the right chords... Your style is absolutely beautiful. I hope you are making some money with your talent/skills. You certainly are at the top of the best. VERY entertaining. I just can't say enough good. I want ( to ....borrow )your fingers! Do you teach? ok, enough is enough! :o) Play on!

  • its nice to see great alent glad i subscribed!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!

  • oh goosebumps on touch me...i was singing along...and i literally jumped out of my seat from goosebumps! you are really amazing! :)

  • you are awesome

    =D

  • Thanks again everyone! And JB, I actually don't have perfect pitch at all - I do have relative pitch, which I developed over a long time with a lot of practice. Combine that with a really good musical memory and the result is that I can play pretty much any song that I can "hear" in my head (just like anyone gets songs stuck in their head). Glad to hear I inspired you - keep on practicing!

  • This inspired me to practice for 2 hours every day over vacation on piano! not to mention i sing a long as well to all these songs. You are the best!

  • can you make this into a MP3 please? I'd like to listen to it while im at school.

    thanks

  • i agree! I would love to be able to download this one.

  • You are amazing...seriously I wish I was that talented. I cant believe you'd have time to learn all this while going to medical school. Awesome job

  • it is called perfect pitch! it is a gift that most people don't have! unfortunatly i wish i had his gift wah:( oh well i love reading music and playing anyway!

  • I was going through your videos just now and actually gasped out loud when I saw the title of this one. Thanks, you are incredible! All by ear too!

  • You have skills. FOR REALZ.

    No. Seriously. I wish I could play half as good as you on the piano. I'm an amateur compared to you.

  • THIS IS GREAT.

    Never seen The Color Purple, but the other three are some of my faves.

    : D

  • You HAVE to post an mp3 link of this =)

  • Í´m dreaming if  you play ! It´s magic!

  • you are ah-mazing at piano.

    do not give this up. you are wayyyy too good.

    can't wait 4 #2. =]

  • nice :D i love wicked!!! you played defying gravity so beautifully :D i wish i could play piano... ah well... ill have to stick to what i know. guitar and violin.

  • I'd just like to say that I think you're an amazing pianist; very skilled and accurate - which is so hard for those of you that don't play. I've watched this video so many times and think that your Wicked and Rent adaptations are so very good. Best Wishes

  • Your segway from Toych me into Blue Wind, then into Don't Do Sadness most just made my day.

  • MW! I am once again inspired, relaxed, and in awe of your wonderful gift. It's been too long since I've heard your beautiful music! Your fingers flow on the keyboard naturally and with such grace. I miss the songs you used to play in my living room! I still play the few you taught me :) Hope all is well- I would love to catch up with you one day! :) It's a pleasure listening online to your music. Maybe one day you'll get discovered. I'll alert Oprah ASAP. You are truly amazing!Love you! Hylari

  • perfeeeeeeeeeect! my favorite songsss

  • This. Was. BEAUTIFUL. Oh god. I don't generally listen, for 10 minutes, to piano. But I did for this!

  • This is amazing! Keep up the great work! :D

  • Wicked!!! Seasons of Love!!! EEEEEEPPPPP!!!! you played all my favorites!! You are incredible!!! I.LOVE.YOU!!!

  • You playing and more importantly your seamless arrangements are inspiring. Awesome awesome awesome!

    Can you make all of your songs available for download the way the more recent ones are? I listen to all your music when I am writing in my journal.

  • Absolutely stunning arrangement.. I hear your pain about not seeing Wicked yet... I live in Brisbane and it's only playing in Melbourne for some unknown reason! :(

  • The songs that were from Spring Awakening were the best, especially Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind ^_^

  • OMG. YOU'RE SOOOO GOOD

  • make it an mp3 to download like your others!!

  • If you are talented in medicine just like in playing piano... OMG... I wish you to be my doctor xD

  • wow you are extremely talented i love this video !

  • Wicked!!!! OMG!!!! wowowowowowow!

  • PLEASE put up a download link for this! =) I'm so hurting about Rent closing, and hearing you play it makes me tear up. Seasons of Love especially, just sounded SO perfect and beautiful.

  • Hi, I'm Audrey. This is literally probably the best thing I've ever heard, and the fact that you did it by ear... wow. I'm doing "Mama Who Bore Me" from Spring Awakening for this big concert called POP's in a while, and I could really use your help finding out things, since sheet music isn't available and I'm not nearly as talented as you. If your up for it, just respond. Thanks!

    P.S. You really SHOULD be a music arranger for a living.

  • sheet music for spring awakening is available starting july 17.

  • you should go see wicked... did you learn all of this by ear??? omg!

  • Hey from the bottom of my heart thank you for this! its simply amazing and shows off the powers of those musical scores, you need to think about a career in arranging music you have talent, im sure all the orginal composers would be really proud!

    well done and remember!

    No day but Today!
