I just have to share this fun, spontaneous moment from a piano lesson yesterday. Check out this video:
My student surprised me by showing me that he had learned to play The Office theme song. I, in turn, surprised him by pulling out my melodica. 🙂 I’ve been waiting a long time to be able to play that with someone!!
What is a melodica? It’s a cute little reed instrument that looks like a keyboard. I bought mine on Amazon (you can browse here) a few years ago. It is the instrument actually used for The Office theme song.
What a fun teaching moment! Thanks for sharing!
That’s awesome! One of my favorite shows. I didn’t know what a melodica was, very cool.
How fun! I also had a student show up last week playing this . 🙂 . Alas, I have no melodica…
Time to get one, I think, Anna! 😉
Keeping with the melodica theme – there there is a Cosplay Anime pianist (Lilly Pichu) that attended an a Cosplay event (Indy Cosplay) in July 2017 that played various themes to popular games as she followed those characters at the event. Perhaps the instrument will make a comeback (from wherever its been…). Shows how learning to play a keyboard can branch into different applications. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o_fyuv7WT0
That was such a fun video!!
So cool!! My son learned to play this by ear after watching the Office years ago (before I was even familiar with the show!). I’d play the melody while he played the Accompaniment. But the Melodica…how fun!!
Maybe you could surprise your son with a melodica for Christmas. 😉
Haha I love this! The Friends Theme would be fun to do too.
