Today’s little bit of Amateur Creativity is my cover of Yiruma’s “River Flows in You”. It’s one of those great pieces of music that is truly beautiful, but not particularly hard to learn. 

That being said, playing it perfectly is very difficult. Professional performing artists are not paid to play 99% of the notes correctly (this is actually pretty easy). They’re paid for that last 1% (the really hard part). I realized this very clearly when recording this video. 

But even when played imperfectly, River Flows in You remains a beautiful song 🙂 I hope you enjoy!

Another thing I recognized is the need for some wires to record directly from my piano to my phone. The sound over the headphones is just so much better than the sound over the speakers that was actually recorded.

I’ll commit to taking a trip to the music store to check this out before my next piano recording.
