Creative Keyboard Club June 2016 Meeting

Marlene Forrest was the MC for the occasion and the arrival music was played by Diane Lyons on keyboard.
Our Program ...
We were delighted to have the pupils of Cheryl Tong join us once again. They played a selection of short pieces:
'New York, New York' (a very popular number this month) was played by Travis Holmes on keyboard accompanied by Cheryl Tong
'Great Balls of Fire' by Allan Xu on keyboard
'Willows' by Alicia Barr on piano
'Theme from Inspector Gadget' by Mirabelle Holmes on keyboard accompanied by Cheryl Tong
'Chiapanecas' by Carol Biddy on piano
'5 Finger Challenge' by Barack Lu on piano accompanied by Cheryl Tong
'This Land is Your Land' a dad-&-daughter duet by Naz and Clarrise Luis
'Never Gonna Fall in Love Again' by Corinne Luis on keyboard
'Just Struttin' Along' by Alan Tang on Piano.
Great to see all the youngsters (and dad) enjoying themselves.

Our program continued with our youngest playing member Hanna Tani on piano with 'Turkish March' and 'Minute Waltz'. No music Hanna, wonderful to see and expertly played.
Diane Lyons was back with 'Moulin Rouge' and 'New York, New York' on keyboard
Rob Powell on clavinova with 'Hold My Hand' and 'Different Worlds'
Great stuff everyone!

Our guest artist was Dave Hallam from Kerikeri who we all know as past committee member and club mentor. Dave started off on Tyros with 'Beyond The Sea', 'Do You Know the Way to San Jose', and 'Night and Day' (no music too Dave). He moved on to clavinova and songs included 'Nancy With the Laughing Eyes', 'Love is Here to Stay', 'Just the Way You Are', '1 Note Samba', 'I Dreamed a Dream', 'Blue Moon' and another perennial 'As Time Goes By' (great singing everyone!). Back on tyros with you guessed it 'New York, New York', Quando, Quando, Quando', and Len then joined him with the spoons for 'Sweet Georgia Brown'. Many Thanks to our guest who we always enjoy and great to see you again Dave. Looking forward to your next visit.
