Aidan was 11 when he wrote this piece.  I told him I'd pay him $10 if he would compose another song. The next day we recorded this piece.  Money well spent!

Etude In A Minor (2020)

Aidan was 8 years old when he composed this piece.  He'd been taking piano lessons for 6 weeks when I  heard him playing this song in the basement.  I quickly turned on my computer and asked him to play it again; and recorded his first, beautiful little song.  I smile whenever  I hear it.   :)

Shack In The Forest (2018)

Aidan has never watched any Hitchcock films but I feel that this piece one would fit nicely.  I like his use of the sustain pedal to accentuate the feeling of confusion. He was 9 when he composed this song.

Confusion (2018)

Aidan named this for Guinness, a Golden Retriever that we had a couple of years back.  Guinness loved to run. :)

Guinness Run (2019)

Aidan wrote this before Christmas Break in 2017, he was 8 at the time.  I remember when I first heard the ending and how I wished he'd resolved the final phrase.  But he doesn't, it hangs, longingly.  It's since become my favourite part of the song!
