Piano Matt! & Coldplay!

Yes. Piano Matt! here, finally after a little bit of a break I suppose. I can't help but tell you that I will be off on another break, a tea break that is. I am going british with some new coldplay songs and BeaTle songs! This is not playtime with the queen however, I am Bond. James Bond. A secret mission to play the piano and use notes of fury.

James Bond Theme, Austin Powers, everything Britain will be celebrated with in the next few weeks and upcoming weeks.

All Hail The King!

LONG LIVE KING GEORGE III! We Salute You United Kingdom.

To the brits!!

Cheers!

I am off lads,

off to save the world!!

Tally hoe!

PIANO MATT!

Piano Matt! Alla Turca

This song was requested by Nolan Bell, and only two days ago did I look at it first, at first sight it seemed extremely hard; don't get me wrong, it wasn't easy, but its good to attack it with full force; that I did, that I did.

PIANO MATT! in Chopin's Prelude in C Minor

An excellent song. I love it! I really do.
Here is Piano Matt! playing Prelude in C Minor.

Piano Matt! Puts everything into Die Fledermaus

This is perhaps my all-time favorite Strauss II opera. Here is the main overture. Very hard! Its in its original form.
But who doesn't want to try?! HERE IT IS!!!

Hallelujah

Hallelujah from the motion picture from DreamWorks, "Sherk."

Pirates!!

Pirates of the Caribbean!!
Yes, its about time!
After one whole week of no videos because I was in Virginia,
I have wasted no time in getting back into the swing of things!!
This video is recorded at the school I went to this past week, 'Grundy Mountain Mission School'.
I helped with a lot of their work that needed done, and had a blast doing so.
They are a school who accepts kids who are less fortunate than others from ALL across the world.
They are great people in Grundy, and here is a song that had won the poll I put up.
I now present to you: "Piano Matt's Pirates Of The Caribbean Themes".

Piano Matt! Announces Trip Next Week: This Sunday

Can you believe it? I started this blog on Febuary 14th and already its become a pretty big hit. I can not believe its been almost a full month. I have been recording videos like crazy in the past few days, and hope to put them up ASAP. I won't be here AT ALL from this sunday to saturday, I will be in Virginia, HOWEVER, I am setting it up so that everyday at a certain time, at least one post is made, with a video attached, so I can pan it evenly out.
Pirates of the Caribbean will be on there, yes.
Another week and two days, and it will be the "1st Month Anniversary!!"
I am going to celebrate that awesome sunday with at least 5 videos, 2 pictures, and a brand new poll.
This is just the start, this is...

BeaTles & Piano Matt!

Well, I have gotten a request from a friend

up in Richland. Well to save the story and

about 50,000 words, she really loves the

BeaTles. Who doesn't??? So, to save all

that, I have decided that in her honor

I shall dedicate my next Piano Matt!

theme, "The Beatles".

I have searched through every single

song book I have, flown papers, and papers

of seperated sheet music in the air, and I have

managed to scavage quite a few of the groups

hits. Oh, I almost forgot! To the right is

a picture of The Beatles (and me).

I think I make a GREAT addition to the

group, don't you? Yeah. I think so too.

Well, I am gonna go work on some

vids of the Beatles and their AWESOME music!

Piano Matt! (BeaTles Rule!)

POKERFACE!!!! (Piano Matt! Style)

Well, there are 3 hours left! Yes, it still has a chance to lose, but I am pretty sure
that this is it, so I have decided that I could wait no longer!
I am now feeding my camera into my computer...
The song?? POKERFACE!!!!!!
Here it is!
P-P-P-Piano Matt!

Piano Matt! does a tribute to Bach

Well, we already went over the fact that Bach is a pretty cool guy; given
hes now deceased, but hey, that makes him pretty quiet and chilled, right?
Yeah, well I decided that since I started the topic, I might as well
give you something of his.
Thus I have recorded a video of me playing Brandenburg Concerto No. 5,
one of Bachs more well-known pieces.
Thanks!
Piano Matt

Bach is Cool, dude!

Come on, man!

Don't lie, don't sit down, don't do this or that!

But what you do do, is you respect Johann Sebastian Bach!

Yaa!

Hes a pretty cool, chilled dude from a few years back.

Yes. Yes.

Well I dunno about you,

but this dude is going to be BACH in a minute!

HaHaHaHaHaHa.

Ya man!

So, take some time and look at one of the

fathers of Classical Music, J.S. is in da house! BOO YA!

Peace!

Piano Matt! & "UNDER THE SEA"

It is MARVELOUS! IT IS BRILLIANT! IT IS...IT IS...IT IS...UNDER THE SEA!! HAHAHAHA! PIANO MATT OUT!

Piano Matt! is recording UNDER THE SEA!

UNDER THE SEA!! UNDER THE SEA!!
Well it appears >> Sebastian is having a grand old time with his
maracas and well, I was jealous, yes, jealous. He was having
the party life and I wasn't, so I have given him a wake up call
of how much better the land is, and I have recorded my very own,
"Under The Sea". I planned to do a bell solo at the beginning, but
I lost my mallets, so instead, I put the Marimba on my
keyboard settings.
So, Sebastian, I think we know that Under The Sea is not
better! HA!
Please Enjoy, "Under The Sea"....

I write/compose music. After weeks of waiting anxiously by my mailbox,
I have finally recieved my new 2010 finale SongWriter that

of instruments, voices, ect. to create and print sheet music.
I can hook up my keyboard right to the computer, and it makes the music as I play it, WOW!
On top of all this cool stuff, it also allows for me to download my music I create onto
itunes, for my ipod or onto some cds.
WOW! WOW! WOW!
This is PRETTY cool.

Snow Day Blues (BLUE MOON)

It is VERY cold out today and I have no intentions of stepping outside of my music room. I am sitting here with a bag of Salted Peanuts, a glass of hot tea and my cell phone.
Here is Blue Moon. A much older song than typical oldies, but still amazing and fun.

Piano Matt! to do WE ARE THE WORLD!

Very recently, for the opening of the Vancouver '10 Winter Olympics, a remake of the
original song was made in hopes to raise money and awarness for Haiti and for the world.
Well, after searching through uncountable amounts of sheet music in my boxes and piles
scattered around, I have finally found the book that I have been wanting to find,
in it songs included are: Freedom (Paul McCartney), Let it Be (Beatles), What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong), and a whole lot more!
I hope you enjoy the new recording of We Are The World that I am working on right now...
I am off to record!
-Piano Matt!-

BeaTles: Yesterday

Well, indeed Yesterday it seemed all my troubles were so far away...
This is like one of my all-time favorite Beatles song,
Here's the video: Yesterday

Piano Matt!

BeaTles: Imagine, Let It Be, Yesterday

In about 20 minutes I hope to have these legandary Beatles classic videos posted and running. The snow is falling outside, and a perfect time for recording. I hope to see ya soon!!

Piano Matt! plays piano at Nemicolan Resort

^^I enjoyed playing during Summer Vacation at the Nemicolan Resort.

I had fun....^^

PIANO MATT!

Today, February 14th, is my first day with this new blog, and I hope to start off the first post of many to come with a bang. So I have decided to put aside past egos and reviews and start a new. Today is Valentine's Day, but due to the importance of the day and being the kick-off starter for this site, I think it is not necessary to jump the gun so quick. That said, I am taking this first post to introduce myself, and perhaps give you a better mind for what is to come. Tomorrow is President's Day and I have gotten a few requests to play "Hail to the chief" and "1812 Overture". After reviewing the two I think although "Hail to the chief" is an extremely 'patriotic' song, I feel as though "1812 Overture" has a much better sound and adventure. For the moment I remain...
