He plays chords! (Sorta)

Miles, our ever-present keen observer, has picked up a new piano trick. After watching his Dada, Miles now, almost exclusively, plays using his thumb and index finger simultaneously. I am not a musician, so I will describe it as a finger bridge. Regardless, the kid plays in chords. Also, watch how he uses both hands.

And I swear, that on several occasions, I heard the intro to "Hungarian Rhapsody" come from his tiny hands. Jesse plays it daily to Miles, so it's not like he hasn't seen it played before. This sampling is a bit more on the jazz-odyssey-exploration* side. Enjoy!

*That is for all you Spinal Tap fans out there.

I'm no musician either...but, that was definitely not banging. I think he deserves a standing ovation. Maybe his talent is not only on the drums but also tickling the ivories. I think you have a budding musician.
Thanks for the concert!

I agree with MK's Mom...a budding musician. How exciting is this? He is your Little Man of Many Talents!
