My DVD Documentary Trailer “Progression of a Child Prodigy”
Me (12 years old) performing Beethoven and Chopin at a church. Different musicians got together to share each others talents. It’s normally called a shed. Chelsea thought it was comical to hear other musicians reacting to her performance. Check it out.
