Schoolgirl Stops By The Piano On The Way Home

15 year old Jasmine was on her way home from school when she passed the public piano and played Clair de Lune. The station was very busy and the piano was not in the best condition for Debussy, but she managed to eclipse the noise and the chaos with her wonderful piano skills.

[@natemarx4999]

She really does play the piano beautifully. You could tell that she was shy at first and then started feeling more comfortable. She should continue this talent.

[@smiley9872]

Yes, she’s a natural!

[@lookoutforchris]

@@smiley9872I love Debussy when it’s natural. And this young girl has a very nice Debussy I’m sure. What a lovely Debussy you’d probably say.

[@brianrowbotham5867]

Absolutely beautiful. What a talented young lady. God bless you, my dear.

[@GenaF]

I imagine she has many piano exam passes under her belt. My friend at school did an hour practice every day of the week. I know when we left school she was one grade away from being able to teach piano herself.

Fantastic to see young talent enjoying their music - congratulations young lady!

[@NoNonsense316]

Brendan, you have a knack for attracting and encouraging new talent. She plays masterfully. Great job to both of you!

[@maly2ts408]

Wish I could play like that

[@drewmog123456]

He’s not there to attract new talent. You may be surprised to realise that it’s a communal piano for everyone to share.

[@romanstenfourteen]

One of my favorites, one of the most beautiful and touching pieces ever written... She played beautifully on an out of tune Piano, go for it, you have a gift young lady, use it, use it to bless others and glorify God! My great grandmother was a Concert Pianist and Clair De Lune is one of the pieces she first played, my daughter now plays, she loves DeBussy as does my son.

[@ROOKTABULA]

I think she should play to glorify Spider-Man. That's a fictional hero who did a lot more good for people, did not commit mass murder, didn't promote slavery and wasn't a vengeful psychopath.

[@katiemcgraw3874]

That’s what I thought. Dr K, piano sounds like old out-of-tune upright that was great for my parents’ parties.

[@aliceje39]

Sad that people were holding up signs... disrespectful...

[@romanstenfourteen]

@@ROOKTABULA 🤔😆 Aren't you clever and special, I used to be an Atheist, a God hatter just like you, and Spider Man is a creation of a Godless man who went to Hell, God bless you. "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good."

When I need deep uplifting I listen to this piece. She made my heart sigh ...such intensity & beauty in her style, thank you for posting ✨💞✨👏👏

[@josefschiltz2192]

She's brilliant and especially not being distracted by the piano needing tuning and the surroundings.

Пианино расстроено в правой руке, где Брендон играл ногой в предыдущем ролике😂

[@ЭммаБондарь-й7з]

​@@serglerner3431Брендон так играет ногой, как ты и в следующих перерождениях никогда не сыграешь рукой. Я закончила муз.школу по классу фортепиано, играла с 5 лет и исполнения, подобного Кавана никогда не слышала. У него и удар и свободное движение кистей рук- божественны.

No words. What a magical young woman and she plays beautifully. May she go far and have a life in music.

[@wenyddarling9548]

Jasmine described hard work, self-discipline, and a strong desire to pursue something she loves and wants to do. Wishing her much success and happiness for a bright future. Well done, Jasmine. Your parents must be so proud of you.

English Rose 🌹, enough said. Lord have Mercy, her beauty and talent is beyond measure. ❤

[@nidh1109]

I was applauding at the end. That was really beautiful to listen to. I'm awe struck how anyone can remember such a piece without the music in front of them..

[@Dave5843-d9m]

It’s muscle memory. Learn it once and solidify it with practice.

[@pmster92]

I was thinking the same😊

[@aliceje39]

I can remember it ... every note ... but I couldn't play it.

[@aliceje39]

Not muscle memory ... the brain has to be involved. ​@davidelliott5843

[@Floating_Lotus]

Repetition. When a musician learns hard the music stays with them kinda like riding a bike once learned never forgotten.

[@isftish]

Beautifully played, and such a natural talent...she is feeling the music rather than just playing it. And she can talk to you at the same time. And OMG she's 15?!?!?! Brilliant beyond words And i dearly hope that piano gets fixed.

[@Paola11852]

Brendan she played amazingly 💯💯💯

Jasmine! Congratulations for performing a lovely rendition of Clair de Lune in such a frenzied atmosphere! I will look forward to hearing you sometime playing a Steinway in concert in a concert hall.... You have a soulful presence at the piano and a wonderful gift of demonstrating personal technique as you play. Many thanks for sharing your talent with us today.

Dear Brendan,your attitude towards giving opportunities to new talents is very commendable. She is great. Very grateful for more this gift you offered us. You are amazing.❤ from Brazil.

[@witchfindergeneral13]

Debussy is one of my favorites. Especially this song. I love the way she plays this piece. It made me want the piano to be in tune. Yet somehow she still made it sound beautiful. Her feel is amazing. She totally gets the emotion of this piece.

[@sketchartist1964]

So good to see young musicians playing music by the great composers. Not many around these days.

[@robinsierra1029]

Beautifully played. My favorite classical piece of music.

[@jonathan-livingstone-acoustic]

Well done that young lady, playing very confidently, and an assured performance in that public environment. Well done too Dr K for showing the acknowledgement of that and highlighting her determination, commitment and goals to become a concert pianist.

[@traceyelliot8571]

when she started to play .......... i felt this lump in my throat well up and tears started to flow ................

[@CarolynClemens-e1s]

How beautiful she played from her heart and was relaxed when she got into the music...God Bless her

[@IronBhoy]

Quite astonishing. That’s a very difficult piece to play never mind play from memory.

[@DanPurdy1]

Dr. K was enjoying this as much as the rest of us have. One great pianist. What is going to be like in another 20 years? She is as quietly beautiful as her playing.

[@colinjohn2708]

She beautifully carressed those keys and the effects on this old 78 year old was tears of deep enjoyment and appreciation of her special talent. A sentimental Aussie. On

[@mikenf1185]

For some reason Jasmine playing this piece so beautifully on an out of tune slightly ratty public piano made it all the more enchanting and mesmerising.

You don't even have to like classical music to appreciate it when created in front of you. Wonderful...
