Playing at the piano

Claire has been enjoying hoping up on the piano bench and playing at the piano over the past few months.

She's actually gotten pretty good in the way she plays. She presses one key at a time, mostly white keys, and works up little melodies which she sings over.

There's been a new twist in the past week. Now she brings up a book that she likes, opens it to a page, and plays what she sees on that page and sings a song that she makes up that tends to reflect the picture.

This evening she took it to a new level, and grabbed one of the clips I use to hold my music books open on the piano and clipped the pages of her book open (they were having no problem staying wide open).

It's really cool how much fun she is having at the piano.
