About this user

I've loved orchestral film scores and Disneyland music since I was a kid. I've also played piano since I was a kid. It was kinda inevitable that these two passions would converge. After I stopped taking piano lessons as I entered high school, I stopped using sheet music and began coming up with arrangements on my own. It's a fun process, so I thought I'd share the results with anyone who's interested!

Unfortunately, I don't have sheet music to offer for the vast majority of my arrangements, but I've written a few down, including the World of Color opening and Soarin' Over California. Download links can be found in the video descriptions. I also lack a video camera, which is why you can't see me playing.

I fully realize that I'm far from the world's most virtuosic pianist, nor am I the best at creating traditionally idiomatic piano arrangements, so I always appreciate constructive criticism. If you hear something that could be improved and know how to articulate it, definitely post a comment or send me a message!

P.S. For those of you who remember the sorts of videos I used to post, I'm sorry I had to take those down! Maybe that project will reappear someday. ;)
