Piano Duet with Lukey
L ukey hasn't had any formal lessons on piano, but he is improving by leaps and bounds each time I sit down at the piano with him. For the past couple of weeks, we've been working on a Hoagy Carmichael piece that just about everybody knows... "Heart and Soul". We worked on this piece only a few minutes every other day but that was enough for Lukey to learn it. Lukey practiced his bass part whenever he could fit in some time at the piano. He did very, very well and he took direction exceptionally well! This morning, we kicked the girls out of the living room/kitchen area and set up a camera so we could do a quick recording of this duet standard. After about 12 takes, we finally had a good one which made both of us happy... finally! Edit: Lukey didn't really realize what I was talking about whenever I mentioned that recording is more difficult than simply performing. You become acutely aware of every little mistake and then you become more cautious whi
