Winter is 9 years old & learnt to play 'Macaroni Cha Cha' and 'Famous People' from memory. The pieces are from her method books (Hal Leonard Book 2 & Piano Adventures 2A).
....special thanks to the brilliant backing percussionist! 😝
Count on me!
BRUNO MARS
This is such a feel good tune! We are learning the chord progressions in lessons.
Students will get a musical advantage if they listen & get familiar with the song. Play it loud and sing along!
