Hannah's Musical Adventures

 One of my favorite pieces of classical music that I learned to play on the piano is the third movement of Muzio Clementi's Sonatina Op. 36 No. 1. Muzio Clementi is called the "Father of Piano" by many people, including Jeremy Eskenazi of the Muzio Clementi Society. This piece is very lively, which is partly what makes it so much fun to play! I do not know this little girl's name, but she plays it beautifully: Form There really is no intro to this piece of music, other than the first and second movements which come before this one.

 Hello!  My name is Hannah and I love music. Listening to it and playing it are both so much fun! Although I really enjoy music, I also enjoy learning about the world around me. That is why I am studying mechanical engineering at UAF. Also, I like to spend time exploring the outdoors with my family and friends. While I write this blog, I am looking forward to discovering the musical world more. Below is a picture of Denali from one of my adventures with my family. One of my favorite parts about music is being able to play it myself. When I was in eighth grade, I began learning to play the piano, and I have enjoyed improving my skills since then. I also like listening to music. In addition to the music I listen to every day, the two concerts I have attended were both wonderful. While my favorite artist or song changes often, below is an example of the type of music I listen to most. For another example of music I listen to, please click here.  Enjoy!
