Open Mic Challenge 138 - Walt Disney Theme. 3 Part violin and piano solo.
Hello dear Open Mic Comunity
I was so excited about this week's theme "magic". There are lots of songs about magic. Good and bad...but I looked at it from my childrens' perspective and my fond childhood memories.
Walt Disney movies are all about magic, making us believe in fairy tales and happy ever afters. I just had to cover this song.
I asked myself how I could make it more interesting. Everyone knows I can play piano and violin so I wanted to do a bit more.
With the limited equipment I have I decided to record a 3 part harmony, each recording on top of the previous one.
First, I started with recording my piano accompaniment as always.
Piano part:
Secondly I recorded my 2nd violin part while playing the keyboard recording back.
Piano and 2nd Violin:
Thirdly, I recorded the 3rd violin part while playing back the second violin part recording back...does this even make sense?
Piano and 3rd Violin:
And finally, I recorded the melody on top of the last recording with the 3rd violin part.
I do hope you enjoy this. Please let me know what you think and send links to your recordings for me to support you back.

Is it the keyboard itself that is doing the recording? Is that a common function?
I would love to learn to play piano/keyboard one day to challenge myself.
Yes @Jasper any keyboard has a record function but then only for the keyboard. I had to record the violin and keyboard with my phone and play it through the keyboard woth an aux cable. That's why the sou d quality is not so clear at the end.
Oh eek. I have a loop pedal for guitar-jack and microphone that I occasionally use.
I would love to experiment with a loop pedal one day!
Yes! There are enough surfer-dude, guitar-and-harmonica playing Jeremy Loops wannabes out there (ahem... cough cough... hahaha!)
I think there is a niche for a female piano and violin loop pedal prodigy instead! Throw in a kazoo to really stand out!
(Actually, I don't think I will ever make my/our act revolve around the loop pedal, but we have one or two songs that work well with it... you obviously need to use a repetitive chord structure, and it helps if it is a proper bouncy jam.)
That's the thing! You are limited to the chord structure...I will start mastering the kazoo first. Not sure how long that's going to take 😆
Probably 20 minutes? Hahaha
Magical playing for sure!
This is a lovely interpretation of this very famous theme song!
😃👏
Thank you for your kind word. I am so happy you enjoyed it.
Hello . Disney is undoubtedly a reference of magic, especially because it makes us connect with our inner child, your cover with instruments has been beautiful, I loved it. Thank you for participating and may the magic of Christmas shine in your life.
Thank you for your kind word. I am so happy you enjoyed it.
Every time you upload, you add yourself playing a few more parts. Pretty soon you'll be a whole orchestra 😁 You've got a wonderful talent there, not just to be able to play the instruments, but to understand how to combine multiple recordings into a single piece.
hahaha! I think its called a One Man Band. Thank you for your kind word. I am so happy you enjoyed it.
I am so happy to see that you can accompany yourself and do these complex works. Being able to play several instruments is great. Very good entry @marelizezeeman 👌
Thank you for your kind word. I am so happy you enjoyed it. I love playing duets with myself ;)
Yes, I suppose you do. I would like to do the same with myself, oh well, just piano with piano combination would be possible for my "self duet" 😁
Beautiful melodies and excellent interpretation. Very pretty.😊👏👏👏
Beautiful melody indeed! Thank you for your kind word. I am so happy you enjoyed it.
This is very impressive... You have done wonderfully.
Thank you for your kind word. I am so happy you enjoyed it.
