The accuracy and musicality of your leaps and jumps on the piano are better than those generated by any computer. Best of all, you are playing happy music. Happy music is coming back. We need it more now than ever!
I don’t know how/why it took me song long to find your channel but no words can describe how good you are at piano, you’re truly a once in a lifetime talent!
The thought hit me as I was here reclining, Enjoying the music as Kristen's hands were flying That I must be a king, fer At the touch of my finger, I command the epic concert At my discretion and leisure. I don't need to travel by car or by train, No charge for admission, no delay from the rain, No need to find parking or rent a hotel, No waiting in line, no unfamiliar smells. I don't even need to verbalize a single command; Just a click of my mouse or a tap of my hand And suddenly this performance is filling my ears alone By means of my personal noise cancelling headphones. Why am I so honored to have this experience? I must be a king... or at least a prince. :) And if I be royalty, then with all my prestige, The applause that I offer might be what Kristen needs. Oh, but maybe she didn't hear me when I did that before... I can do it again: *clap clap clap* Bravo! Encore! (What's really cool is not a flinch from her is required For me to enjoy a replay of what just transpired. :D ) Alright; I'd better stop awing about what the internet brings, But I don't ever want to stop being grateful for all my blessings. Thank you, Kristen, for sharing this vid I've just seen! You deserve stanning fans who non-cringily say "Yaaasss Queen!"
Really! There are other versions of hakuna matata ragtime/jazz piano on youtube, but you really got a great feel and dynamics in your playing! Joy to listen.
As time passes by, a soulful layer of uplifting maturity enhances your already perfect technique. I hope you´re loving your music as much or more than we do. All the absolute very best in unfolding into whatever direction you want to go.
I've been playing piano since I wad a child. I'm 38 now & I've played professionally (mostly studio) with some pretty big names. I've met, heard, & played beside some of the best musicians in the business & I'm telling you now, that's pure talent &better than a VAST MAJORITY of players I've come across. I too play with no sheet music, & to find someone that plays@ your level without it always makes me smile. Keep it up, you're amazing at what you do. 👏👏
I really love your arrangement of Ragtime with all your tunes. I don't know what your age is but you have a real gift and I get great enjoyment from watching your music. Keep on keeping on Kerstin!
What a nice present to come back to after a holiday!!! As usual, a fantastic cover - in particular the ragtime conversion itself is fantastic and I really love it!! Can’t wait for whatever’s next!!!
This was SENSATIONAL! (bit of a Lion King fan here...) I feel like you really pushed your own limits higher with this song, everything was perfect, it looked absolutely epic and was magic to listen to! Thanks for uploading ;)
I would love to see you playing on the ragtime piano in Disneyland! I've seen other youtube videos of pianists that volunteer to go up for a song. I think your play style fits in perfectly. Keep up the great work!
As someone who is just picking up the piano at nearly age 40 (been playing the guitar for 25+ years), I find your playing impressive and inspiring. Keep it up!
Thanks for your recent Q and A video. I have been watching your music and was wondering who you were. I like Disney, musicals, and ragtime. For the last 50 years, I was fine with my player piano, but have recently started learning to play. Thank you for your music and insperation.
Awesome effort!!! You deserve a big round of applause! Not only when real instrumental sounds come at their best they're way better than computer kinds, but you mixed the two most go-lucky songs in the Lion King in one grand song! Keep up your amazing attitude and interpretation of these masterpieces!!!
Fantastic! I love ragtime music, I love covers of modern songs in old-fashioned styles, and I love Disney, so this was perfect! It really sounded like something that could have been composed and played in the early 1900s.
I always come back to this video, its really damn good. I've been working on my left hand bounce and now i'm going to try and learn this piece! I will try by ear + sheet music reading even though im not the best at reading sheet music. You're an inspiration!
Wow! You are a very talented piano player for your age. I love ragtime. Your piano playing brought a smile to my face and made my day. I love Disney music, especially the way you play it. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Hi Kristen 👋 enjoyed your music like always! I wish you would come on more often but if you're busy I'm happy you can fit whenever you can to be here. Enjoy your summer! 😊😍❤️
It blows me away that you have a mind that can operate your fingers in so many different patterns, to make so many variations of beautiful music. Not to mention you yourself are such a delightful doll. Weird comment maybe but you dazzle me in so many ways. Thanks so much!
I imagine a black-and-white silent movie version of the Lion King, the characters speaking in the form of title cards, with this playing in the background.
I wouldn't do a lot, but I would support you on Patreon a little bit if you set it up. Got excited to see what I think is your first new video since I found you.
I just started piano -- I guarantee if I tried that kind of fast hand/finger movement it would sound like I was just open-palming the entire keyboard. She is exceptional, and of course it goes without saying, beautiful. Although, I guess I just said it. Anyway, new sub here! Cheers!
The accuracy and musicality of your leaps and jumps on the piano are better than those generated by any computer. Best of all, you are playing happy music. Happy music is coming back. We need it more now than ever!
For sure! Happy music :-)
Champagne music you might say...
I’m a happy chap all the time anyway but a new ringtone for me. This is exquisite, well done girl 🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻 😁😁
Never stop playing! My favourite Disney movie being played by my favourite TH-cam musician. Day has been made! 😊🤩
Disney, Lion King, Ragtime Piano! What's not to love? Thanks Kristen for giving me something new and fun to practice!
Hakuna Matata?
Yeah. It's our motto!
What's a motto?
Nothing. What's a-motto with you?
_Moto Moto wants to know your location._
Haha I loved the new movie who has watched it 🦁🦁
HA HA HA HA hi hi hi iiiii
Ha ha...reminds me of "hello Motto"....a cellular phone comertial from a celular phone maker.
You can't fool me, there ain't no sanity clause.....
A common phrase used around where I come from to describe how good a musician is “you made that thing talk”, well you certainly did! Great job
Been waiting for this one!! And you blew it out of the water!! Great job!!
Good to hear some music that makes me feel happy in these troubled times and so well played ❤️
The Lion King has a lot of good music. I like the pairing of these 2 upbeat and bright songs.
I don’t know how/why it took me song long to find your channel but no words can describe how good you are at piano, you’re truly a once in a lifetime talent!

This is amazing!!
well said...I concur
It takes skill to make some pieces sound good as ragtime covers. And to be fair you smash it with these!
Seriously jealous of how you can play so fantastically just absolutely fabulous
Really! There are other versions of hakuna matata ragtime/jazz piano on youtube, but you really got a great feel and dynamics in your playing! Joy to listen.
Fantastic! You're the princess of Ragtime! :)

I have no words!!! Except....INCREDIBLE !!!
WOW that was PHENOMENAL WOW absolutely FANTASTIC. Mind Blown
I could watch and listen to you all day... I just love ragtime.
Your music and renditions always make for a wonderful start of the day, nice work

You ought to be thankful and proud of every hour you've spent learning and practicing the piano. Well Done!!!
Hi Kristen, I like the sound of your piano. Really loud for that kind of piano.
Sounds so great! Love the left hand method.
Simply Amazing! I just cant stop watching those hands bounce around!
Always enjoy listening - - big smile every time
Im gonna buy the sheets for this one for sure 💕 This is my favorit part of the lion king when they wander off 🙂
She’s back!!
I really love your arrangement of Ragtime with all your tunes. I don't know what your age is but you have a real gift and I get great enjoyment from watching your music. Keep on keeping on Kerstin!

OH MY GOD THE LAST SECTION
What'd I do!?
Oh absolutely AWESOME! Brings me back to when I was a kid in the 90s!!

Whooo!!! And on the day I'm seeing Lion King 2019 😄❤
Fantastic! I love ragtime music, I love covers of modern songs in old-fashioned styles, and I love Disney, so this was perfect! It really sounded like something that could have been composed and played in the early 1900s.
Cool!
Who keeps watching at how fast her fingers move?
I don't think the difficulty of this kind of peice is the rate at which your fingers move
@@woofelator my fingers are very slow guys i know what im saying
You are a master of the left hand. So smooth!
Awesome! I'm glad this video popped up!
Never clicked on a video so fast
I always come back to this video, its really damn good. I've been working on my left hand bounce and now i'm going to try and learn this piece! I will try by ear + sheet music reading even though im not the best at reading sheet music.
You're an inspiration!
Bro your left hand is on point with those jumps so amazing!
That was awesome! One of my favourites yet!
Caramba !! Muita versatilidade . Controle motor e independência de hemisférios sensacional !!!

Looking great and sounding great! Hope you’re enjoying the summer.
It blows me away that you have a mind that can operate your fingers in so many different patterns, to make so many variations of beautiful music. Not to mention you yourself are such a delightful doll. Weird comment maybe but you dazzle me in so many ways. Thanks so much!
Honestly could listen to you play all day. Please do Ducktails Moon theme in rag time if its at all possible.

Just so talented,this made my day!!!
I imagine a black-and-white silent movie version of the Lion King, the characters speaking in the form of title cards, with this playing in the background.

Paper cut: you’re not playing for a while
Kristen: Hakuna matata!
Don't worry, it busted back open! ...worth it
Wonderful playing. Do you happen to know Elite Syncopations by Joplin? If so, could you do a cover of it?
This is so entertainingto hear becuse it brings me back to my childhood the and rhytm is so spot on, not unlikely others do, thank you :)
Just perfect , you’re my inspiration as a modern ragtime pianist
I wouldn't do a lot, but I would support you on Patreon a little bit if you set it up. Got excited to see what I think is your first new video since I found you.
Pure greatness
I very much enjoyed this rag!
Great job, really amazing.
Gnarly!
How many times did you play this through before you were satisfied with the end result ?
Seriously love this arrangement! Amazing work .
Brilliant performance. Love it!
