Hey Kristen, it's Jonny May. You are sounding great! I love your arrangements - they are so fun and I love all the whimsical fills you throw in between the melody to keep it interesting. I hope Disneyland hires you very soon to play at Coke Corner because the guests would love you. Keep up the great work!
+Kristen Mosca I just discovered you yesterday and quickly subscribed. I have binge watched all of your videos, and I think you're amazing. I've had so much fun listening to you play. I can't wait for what's next, you're a Star!!
+Kristen Mosca.....Got to say it....Disney would be foolish not to let you entertain all of their guests. I'm following Jonny for quite some time and recently discovered you and I can only say I dig and love your style. Tweet, post, send some pigeons if you have to..but let us know when you become an all timer at Coke Corner because it's definitely worth a trip all the way up there ;)....till then...keep up the good work!
Bravo! This was absolutely wonderful! The Jungle Book is my favorite Disney animated movie, and also my favorite Disney soundtrack. You played this just incredibly. Thank you for this great performance. I saved it to my watch later so that I can watch it over and over again. I really enjoy your ragtime spin on all your songs it improves and enhances the songs immensely.
Terrific! I love ragtime. I always think back the mid to late ‘60s when Shakey’s Pizza Parlors had a person playing ragtime piano at the peak hours. Good pizza, cold beer, and ragtime. What more could you want? They even took requests and I always put a nice tip in the jar when they played 12th Street Rag for me.
Go Kristen you are one talented lady, can listen to you playing all day. Bravo. I used to play piano a bit but a hand accident put pay to that, but never came even close to your high standard.
You have a special GOD given talent. I understand how hard you work but in the end when you play the songs it looks effortless and fun, that means your talent is very special. I hope you pursue a career in music.
Chicag0 NO! No such thing as talent - we just work friggin hard! Professional musicians just sodding practice ! I can’t stand it when people say ‘aw you’re so lucky’ or ‘you have a gift’. It’s absolute bollocks - it’s the result of 30 years of dedicated 4 hours a day practicing. (OR MORE)

Hey Kristen Möchte mich den Worten von Jonny May anschließen. Es ist solch eine Freude, Dir zuzuhören, Dich am Klavier spielen zu sehen! Du machst mir eine grosse Herzensfreude mit dem Dschungel-Rag. Ganz herzlichen Dank Dir! Du gibst Medizin fürs Herz! Danke, danke, danke vielmals! Herzliche Grüße aus der Schweiz
Listening to your playing reminds me of my dad's playing. 1930s 40s 50s He was a pub pianist in England pianist and your style is kind of like his. Not critisism I enjoyed your playing Reminds me of Dad Thanks a lot.
Jungle Book was my first movie in cinemas as a young boy. Therefore all the songs from the movies belong to my alltime favorites! :) Thanks a lot for that amazing versions!! Love it! :)
Je suis un fan inconditionnel du ragtime. Si en plus c'est joué par une jeune et jolie fille alors la je craque complétement. BRAVO (çà vaux aussi pour les autres morceaux car tout regardé avec grand plaisir et plusieurs fois). Merci pour ces moments
I've noticed that Bare Necessities is very similar to Acc-en-chuate the Positive by Harold Arlene, written some time before. Both are great songs and both great for a ragtime interpretation.
wow, wow , wow, wow ......or and ,....wow..you are fabulous , your ragtime playing is just brilliant .i love you i love you i love you ,. keep up the great work.

+Jonny May just as you played it but kristen has more harlem than fanciness. and more swing feeling than speed.
Most people play ragtime too fast...
that transition was fricking smooth, having written out arrangements with crap transitions I appreciate that..damn
Bravo! This was absolutely wonderful! The Jungle Book is my favorite Disney animated movie, and also my favorite Disney soundtrack. You played this just incredibly. Thank you for this great performance. I saved it to my watch later so that I can watch it over and over again.

Impressive. Not just the laydown but that someone your age has a feel and appreciation for ragtime. Well done.
I love people who work and try to achieve things!
This has to be my favorite arrangement that you’ve made. The song is just amazing and fits perfectly with ragtime. Thanks for the awesome content!!!!
Love the smooth shift to "I Wanna Be Like You", my favourite song from the Jungle Book
3 years!? Whoa...
Well guess what?
"Wanna Be Like You" is still the best Jungle Book song, don't @ me.
Terrific! I love ragtime. I always think back the mid to late ‘60s when Shakey’s Pizza Parlors had a person playing ragtime piano at the peak hours. Good pizza, cold beer, and ragtime. What more could you want? They even took requests and I always put a nice tip in the jar when they played 12th Street Rag for me.
I wish I could’ve seen a time like that! 🥺
That rhythm!!
It is indeed rare to find such a lovely child prodigy ...white...with a love for ragtime music. Wonderful pianist...
If I could play like that, I would never stop! Love It !
just one word. OUTSTANDING. Sos una genia Kristen.
Go Kristen you are one talented lady, can listen to you playing all day. Bravo. I used to play piano a bit but a hand accident put pay to that, but never came even close to your high standard.
Bless your little cotton socks - after a brilliant performance, you look dead proud when you hit the camera with your 'nailed it' face. Bravo!
Excellent job, Kristen! You really have a knack for ragtime
You have a special GOD given talent. I understand how hard you work but in the end when you play the songs it looks effortless and fun, that means your talent is very special. I hope you pursue a career in music.

your timing and composition are amazing, I love the I wanna be like you!
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Well next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue?
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
Oh man this is really living
So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard
And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
With just the bare necessities of life
This is very solidly done and I would love to play at home! Very well done. We love to see it.
You've got a good feel going on in Bare Necessities. Takes me back to when I was a kid and saw Jungle Book in the local theatre. Thanks. =)
Today I watched this video 25th time! I love the melody and I love listening to you playing it and watching you playing it! Thank you for playing!
you are so freakin good!!!!!! May god bless you to continue playing for many many years!!!! I enjoyed this so much!!!
That was fantastic! Perfect placement and thumbs up smile at the end sealed the deal!

Wow! Very impressive. Time to send the DVD to Disney...

Dennijr @Kristen... We all are!!

Not realy, I like it as it is but this music gives me a smile and that is so valuable!
Great smile at end. I enjoyed that song
please play easy winners by Scott joplin, my favorite rag!
She just uploaded her cover of Easy Winners a couple days ago!
Je suis un fan inconditionnel du ragtime. Si en plus c'est joué par une jeune et jolie fille alors la je craque complétement. BRAVO (çà vaux aussi pour les autres morceaux car tout regardé avec grand plaisir et plusieurs fois). Merci pour ces moments
She feels that music! 🤝🏼 She is playing with life!! Interesting piano by the way... 😉
Came here by chance and was not disappointed - great performance indeed! Keep it up! 👍
Omg.. An excellent performer
Feeling a bit down today and this really helped brightened my mood. Thank you!!
Really great..kinda burst into tears at the transition. Keep swingin.
Particularly amazing left hand! Super! 😁
I listened for a solid ten seconds and immediately clicked the subscribe button
Love the Ragtime theme.
Loved the pop-up at the end: "Hi, I'm Kristen and I play ragtime...". Yes, Yes you certainly do! (Liked, subscribed... for quite a while now.)
Che brava.Splendida esecuzione. Goduria massima sentirti al piano .Siete una cosa sola❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for making my day happy
you go girl. just grow up and we have a winner
You are Fantastic! I could listen to you play all day! Keep it up Kristen! ;)
I can’t wait to play this for my baby brother !
Like your smile along with your playing! Keep up the good work and keep smiling
super interpretation ! bravo mademoiselle !
I've noticed that Bare Necessities is very similar to Acc-en-chuate the Positive by Harold Arlene, written some time before. Both are great songs and both great for a ragtime interpretation.
You did an incredible job with this....great to listen to. Well done!
What’s crazy to me is that you have no sheet music in front of you. You just memorized it! That’s impressive
amazing arrangement!!!
When I was eight, that was my favorite song!
I'm 54 and apparently I look like Balu 😂 but this is my favourite song
I love jungle book so much I got it when my grandkids came along and they loved it to ..I hope you don't mind me singing along
That's great, I wish that I could transpose music like that. Because I'm sure that you did that on your own. That takes skill.
Eres genial Kristen, felicidades desde España!👏👏👏👏
Great work, Kristen! Love it so much.
Love what you do with familiar themes, Ragtime is great and you help to spread it! Bravo and best of music and friendships!
Fantastic work - Really inspiring - Really enjoy the energy you put in to each piece.
Really enjoyed your performance, Thank you.
I Wanna Be Like You is just perfectly played... Thanks a lot for this moment!

What a doll! Talented, pretty, and did I mention talented?
Very impressive young lady and quite talented. Been a musician myself most of my life so I know talent.
