Piano Poems

Piano is one of Calvin's greatest joys and he has been making up tunes since he began playing as a teenager. He calls these "piano poems," a selection of which appears below. Calvin is self-taught, he has never had a piano lesson in his life, and the evidence of this shines through his playing.
