Piano Series - Super Mario Galaxy, "Family" (re-recorded)

This is me playing "Family" on the piano. It was written by Mahito Yokota as the special ending credits music to Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii.

I've given my piano a pitch raise since last time, so hopefully this version's better on the ears.

Also, while I am a trained musician, I'm not a trained pianist. In fact, I'm mostly self-taught in that regard. While I welcome any advice, I'd also appreciate not being hounded for my bad technique :P

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy. Please comment!

This is awesome! Did you learn this by ear?

@cyberman1011: Thanks for the comment!

I transcribed it by ear, and practiced it just like any other piano score. I have a degree in music, so I prefer to do my own transcriptions... they're a little more accurate than most of the fan stuff out there.

Wow.. You're good, and you edited the video fantastic! What editing program do you use? =)

@T2norway: Thanks for the comment!

All my videos are put together in Final Cut Pro. Nothing fancy, just some cross dissolves, panning, zooming, cropping, and edge feathering.

Ewww, still out of tune, get a keyboard or a better piano!

Not only is this a well shot and edited video, the song was exceptionally well played as well. Excellent job :)

@cponte87

By the way, do you have time to at least make a tutorial or make sheet music?

[HueMann]

could you please provide a link to your sheet music? in your previously uploaded video, it showed clips of the music...i'm just too lazy to transcribe it myself =P. a picture/scan of it would be just fine!
