This piece "Spooks" performed - both the playing of the piano and acting by Robbie Crawford Douglas, with the help of his brother and father to act out this very funny story. I'd be spooked too if this happened to me!!
Piece written by James Bastian

The Entertainer! Performed by Stella Davidoff and her mother Rowan. (and of course - the circus characters in the show lol).
Stella and her mum worked really hard on this and created a stop motion video to tell the story of some circus performers who were happily doing their thing until some rather large animals chased them off stage - how rude!
This piece was originally written by Scott Joplin and comes from the movie "The Sting" in 1973, but was first written in 1902. A very famous piece of music indeed!

"Dragon's Dogma" Theme song from a video game of the same name. Performed and edited by Samuel Harland.
Samuel worked on this piece on and off for approximately one year - first learning how to play the theme, then co writing an accompaniment, figuring out a story that goes with the music and then using images from the video game to piece together, and then lining up the music with the story. It was well worth the effort, as you will see after watching this.
Congratulations Samuel Harland. I'm so proud of what you have created here. It's very impressive :))

Beatrix Mihaly! What an awesome stop motion music video! So much creativity and imagination. She created all the figures and scenery using play dough and put it together and edited it herself. What a clever girl!!
This song is called "Spacewalk" by James Bastian. Beatrix made her own story to go with this piece about a couple of aliens innocently playing soccer until a human in his spaceship comes along and squashes it. But it's ok because in the end they become friends and play together with a basketball the human just happened to have in his spaceship. Yay for them!

Another music video performed by Greta Smith, "I'm a little teapot".
Greta had only been learning piano for a couple of months before creating this video with her friend Mar Villamizar. What a talented little girl!! A big thank you to Greta's mother- Renae Smith, who filmed this.
Did you know that "I'm a little teapot" was originally written by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelly in 1939 as a way to teach very young children the steps to a dance in a dance school. Who knew huh?

Oscar Mihaly's music video!
This next video is a very different take on Eminem's song "Without you". Oscar named this video "Cheese Song" which is the story of a dog who loves cheese and goes on a bit of an adventure to find some, and in the process, gets himself in a bit of trouble! The story and stop motion film was created and edited by the very funny and creative Oscar Mihaly. Of course - he also performed the music on piano.
Well done Oscar. What an awesome music video!!

Love me Tender played by Emmett Everton. Only after two months of lessons! With the help of his father Brett, they used AI to find these short videos to string together to create this very heartwarming story.
Fun fact - Love me Tender- a melody known by many. Most think that Elvis wrote this song, but actually, the melody was originally written by George Poulton in 1865. The tune's original name was called "Army Blue" and was sung for graduating cadets. It seems George wrote something that stood the test of time!

Here's a music video performed by Henry Roydhouse. The whole family got involved with this one!
This video is set in a Music Museum with a very valuable painting being auctioned off.
The piece is called "Olympic Games" by James Bastian - but the only sporting event in this story is running! I won't spoil it - I'll let you find out for yourself - enjoy :)

Waltzing Matilda! Still a very Australian story but a modern take about how the simplest things in life bring people together to share happy times. Such a gorgeous story - and played beautifully by Joshua Sulistyo. The video also stars Joshua and his sister Scarlett, filmed and edited by Joshua using the Cabcut app.
Music originally written by Christina MacPherson in 1895
