"For Q" makes a lot more sense than "For 0"! Hahaha.

She's finished! I can't see the name of the piece in her hand very well, but I think it looks like it says "For 0" to me. What are your guesses?

According to Twitter, she is done recording now. Only a matter of time now before we will have a new CD to listen to!

I can't wait for this CD! ;D
Trini, you are lucky to have played a concert grand! I wanted to play the Steinway concert grand at our piano store, but someone had bought it, so I wasn't allowed to touch it. I like walking into the piano store, but then never really playing any of them.

I like the medley by itself, but I want to hear more of them too! I've always wanted to know if she had just written a tiny bit of a song, or if they were full songs that she shortened.

Oh, I forgot about Diversity! Yes that one would be awesome too! I hope she takes some of the songs from the new music medley and makes them longer on the CD too!

It says she is "making a CD of all original compositions over the next three days" So I hope it will come out quickly! What songs do you guys think she'll put on that we have heard on youtube? I'm really hoping for Tutti Cuore and Chasing Up The Down.

A fun website to play around with naming notes by ear, except not really, because once you get the first note right, it's all relative pitch... It's still fun though! detrave.net/nblume/perfect-pitch/

Murray Gold (the person who writes music for Doctor Who) has his own youtube channel now! ;D
If anyone happens to know what instrument this is, I would really like to know!

Yes! That's the one! It was really interesting. I learned a bunch of stuff from it. I didn't realize until I read this book that not everyone could listen to an orchestra in their head or remember a song in the right pitch. I've read a lot more books by Oliver Sacks now, and their all pretty interesting but Musicophilia was deffinetly the best one.

I've always wanteed to mention the book Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks on this forum, and I guess this is probably the most appropriate place. Finally I get to tell you about this book! So Oliver Sacks is a neuroscientist, so the entire book is about music and it's affects on the brain. I won't give away too much in case you want to read it, but there is an entire chapter on perfect pitch called "Papa Blows His Nose in G" which is where I first heard about perfect pitch. It says: "People with absolute pitch can immediately, unthinkingly tell the pitch of any note, without either reflection or comperision with and external standard... For most of us, such an ability to recognize an exact pitch seems uncanny... but for those who are born with absolute pitch, it seems perfectly normal." The entire book was really interesting also, but that chapter was really awesome. There are also chapters on things like music imagery, songs that get stuck in your head, and synesthesia. Overall, it was probably one of my favorite books. If you ever have the chance to read it, please do!

Yeah, whoever decided that all instruments should be in different keys was not really thinking of how it would affect people with perfect pitch!

Also, I used to play the alto sax, so when my music said to play a G I kept hearing a Bb. Hahaha.

Haha, I don't have perfect pitch (as far as I know) but I can sing a note before I play it, just by remembering what it sounds like. Also, it can really bother me when I hear a song in a different key than it should be in.

That room is absolutely gorgous if you ask me. All the chandeliers make this room look amazing! Emily must have loved playing there.
