Best part other than Kristen schooling everyone on how to play Rag.......Her brother throwing the dog onto the couch from a good range from the piano bench. Well done ya'll
Wow, Kristen you are very talented and fun to hear your playing these older tunes that most people don't hear today. Your brother is a hoot. But as a parent myself, I have to say I loved your Mom saying you were her favorite and then the reactions from both of you, classic! Obviously a family that loves to tease each other, and very loving and supportive of each other. Never lose any of that!
It was just a joke mate, anyone starting out would sound terrible since you have to get a feel for the instrument. How it responds to your touches if you know what i mean lul
It's pretty hard to sound terrible on a piano. It's not like a guitar or violin where you sound awful if you put your finger at the wrong spot, or you press too hard or whatever.. On a piano when you press a key you always get a clear sound.
I know this has been posted a long time, but I finally watched it today. It was a fun video to watch! My brothers and I fought all the time, it’s a lot of fun watching y’all! Thanks!
This video is so hilarious and down right truthful when it shows the gaping cavern between "easy looking" inspired and when you try to duplicate that inspiration. I play piano and struggle to read music. I enjoy playing by ear more. But it's fun to watch people learning and growing on the keys.
Some of best piano memories I have are playing four hands with my brother... he plays violin but can play whatever he picks up rather well. Your brother seems to have music in him. Subscribed.
I've awaited a long time to get to know your family, Kristen...thanks for introducing me to your brother and mother! you're a wonderful musician who I never get tired of listening to! thanks for your love of music and for sharing your family with me this Christmas season.
Thank You so very much Kristen!! I have spent hours listening to you play. You've been such an inspiration, and this video is A+. I had been playing piano before kindergarten and into grade school. Over time other interests took over... Now 50+ years later, I'm practicing again. Blessings ... :)
My three older sisters tried to teach me to play the piano. Each had a different idea of what is “right”. It was maddening. Finally mom had a real teacher square me away. Eventually I became an accomplished pianist so I could work in a bar to pay for college. Mom was mortified that I spent evenings in a bar.
A bar can be good or bad, depending on whether it's like an English Pub with fellowship around tables, or an American Saloon where addicts go to get drunk and the owner is a pusher. And then there is the mixed offspring where people desperate for romance go to find ill advised alcohol fueled matches.
Many years ago I was hanging around Coke's Corner at Disneyland and when the piano player went for a break, he said it was ok for me to play something. I played the introduction to Maple Leaf Rag. That was all I had memorized. 12th Rag by Euday Bowman is a great one as well to play. I like your little improvisations on the orginal sheet music.
OMG !!! my piano playing has been dead till I found you !!! I am in love with ragtime. you have inspired me to dust off my piano. its been 6 months since ive played. I am a 44 year old early intermediate. any suggestions on how to learn ragtime??? I live in a small Norcal rice farming town, no teachers out here :(
Isa Wilburn Just play piano as much as possible as often as possible. There are great resources online only a google away to teach you piano for free. Find a video series or website you like and watch it.
(1) as an obnoxious baby brother myself, I now realize I owe my sister a LOT of flowers! (2) Mom: parents are not allowed favorites-- at least not ones we openly admit, anyways. Great to see a family enjoying things together.
Well done Kristen!! There may indeed be hope for your brother yet! :) I play the Piano, Keyboard, and Organ and am no where near as fluent as you are. You play wonderful renditions of great songs both old and new....keep up the talent and please, please, please add more songs!!
I used to play this (about a hundred years ago) and I think I was every bit as good - as Matt :D Lovely family vid and the scene stealing dog is brilliant.
Yes your brother has the spice ! He makes you giggles , have him assist an improvise quarentene rag..he leafs and you pull it out of the mud...bravo , more maybe mom on a quieter paino..press on !
this is awesome! (= I've had a grin plastered on my face since the start and I'm all hyped from the awesome tune and the happy addictive personalities! (= new subscriber here (=
I wish you would re do this video to teach the likes of me,middle aged and new to the piano and only been playing my first love(boogie woogie) for 6 months but ragtime is a close second with 12st rag being my fav.only just subscribed but cant stop watching this one keep them coming.
this video is pretty funny. I imagine your brother to be right though. I think you likely have that ape like strength in your hands that makes you accidently crush door knobs and stuff... do you open all the jars in your house? btw, and quick edit, super crazy amazingly talented. absolutely blown away by your level of play. I wish I was that good at anything.
well if Matt would have ate his spinach then his forearms wouldn't burn unlike Kristen who could climb Mt. Everest with her fingers and make it sound good while doing it.
This was so much fun to watch. I LOVE the out takes! I call this song... FLING THE DOG RAG! Please stop pooch abuse but I LOVE the music but something tells me that brother knows MORE than what he's showing,

I mean, yeah.
i almost spit out my soda laughing 8D
And the dog ran straight back for more attention.

In all seriousness, if this is your brother's first time playing piano, then he picked that up unbelievably fast.
You mean I sounded worse than that when i first started playing?
Thank god i use headphones for practice, i couldnt bear anyone listening to that lol
+ MrMarci878 I don't know about worse, depends what song you started with.
It was just a joke mate, anyone starting out would sound terrible since you have to get a feel for the instrument.
How it responds to your touches if you know what i mean lul

Zireael Ichaer Obviously you've never heard little kids mess around on a piano
The most entertaining, clever and funny offering I've seen in a long time. Just brilliantly filmed and put together thank you!
agreed
"You make this shit look hard" hahahaaa
then says how difficult it is 2 seconds later lol
I love it when her hands touch the keys and magic happens, so in awe at her abilities
4:42 - my absolute favourite part of this rag's arrangement 🤩I wish you made a full video of how you'd play it
I know this has been posted a long time, but I finally watched it today. It was a fun video to watch! My brothers and I fought all the time, it’s a lot of fun watching y’all! Thanks!
You guys totally made my night, thanks :DDD
The best part of this video is the end, I love seeing you two enjoying yourselves!! Haha
That was a true joy to watch. Looked like you both had a great time together.
This video is so hilarious and down right truthful when it shows the gaping cavern between "easy looking" inspired and when you try to duplicate that inspiration. I play piano and struggle to read music. I enjoy playing by ear more. But it's fun to watch people learning and growing on the keys.
Sweet. Your brother certainly put on a great dancing. You guys are an outstanding team!!

Well, he may have not mastered the piano but I think we can ALL agree that his dancing skills are impeccable.
Can’t disagree there 😂
the dog went to space 1:55
collapsacore 😂😂😂😂😂
**Starts playing "Shooting stars"**
Nah, it got smashed into the chair.
You can see the hair flying.
No really, it went to space
Poor thing :(
As wonderful as it was watching you play the song, the best part of this video clip was your brother tossing the dog away!
Kristin, you are phenomenal - love all of your videos. Thanks for keep the art of rag time going, and thanks for bringing a bit of joy to my world!
Nice fun video. 🙂. Think Mom might be in trouble with Matt for what she said at the end though!! Lol
Kristen Mosca Please Please Please I need to know where I can find the sheet music to this cover... any chance you know?
+Adrian Dixon I honestly have no idea. I learned it by ear from a friend!
Adrian, if you want, I can record the Pee Wee Hunt version for you.....just need to find a record player, its a 10" 78 with a purple Capitol label.

Well, this was fun. Kristen, you are a champ. You play terrific piano! I really enjoyed listening.
I think this shows you that your true fans love your videos! Would love to see more of just you playing Disney songs, even if they aren't rag time
People like can really lighten up my day, lighten up this world! Really fun videos and energy, keep it up!
Very entertaining and FUUUNNN!!!! The enjoyment of the music comes through as well as a close family affection.
Hey, sounded good at the end with brother joining along. Musical people can really learn if they have a good teacher like Kristen!!
Awesome. Watching you play helps me with my piano practice, specially with those octaves in the left hand.
Many years ago I was hanging around Coke's Corner at Disneyland and when the piano player went for a break, he said it was ok for me to play something. I played the introduction to Maple Leaf Rag. That was all I had memorized. 12th Rag by Euday Bowman is a great one as well to play. I like your little improvisations on the orginal sheet music.
😂😂😂 great fun with your brother, and your mom killed it🔥🔥🔥
Hello from france !
Thank you for this very good sharing. It will be a very good memory for you & your brother in a few years ! 👏👏👍🎹🎹🎼🎶🎶😀
This video is one of the reasons I fell in Love with your channel
Great video!!!!! I want 5 more videos with your brother and teach your mom! Kristen, whatever you play, your brother should dance next to you!
This is the most wholesome video ever
Your family seems amazing
Impossible not to watch without laughing!! Delightful vid!!!
A big thank you to Kristen & Matt for such a delightful video. Hope we can see you in Concert sometime in Australia.
OMG !!! my piano playing has been dead till I found you !!! I am in love with ragtime. you have inspired me to dust off my piano. its been 6 months since ive played.

That was fun to watch. Enjoy the family and the holidays!
That was great! You are so talented. Glad you uploaded this. Merry Christmas!
lol, your little bro is hilarious. Great vid, good presentation, and I like that arrangement of 12th street!
5:02 When you suddenly sped up here a second time, I started myself! Your brother gave right then and there and decided to start dancing instead. 😂😂
Well done Kristen!! There may indeed be hope for your brother yet! :) I play the Piano, Keyboard, and Organ and am no where near as fluent as you are. You play wonderful renditions of great songs both old and new....keep up the talent and please, please, please add more songs!!
6:17 dog wants to fly again lol
Bailey Wilganowski HAHAJJA DUDE YOUR COMMENT MADE MY DAY
Love ragtime...and you're both fun to watch...but the dog toss into the chair is the BEST!
Delightful....Merry Christmas to you and your whole family Kristen :)
I used to play this (about a hundred years ago) and I think I was every bit as good - as Matt :D Lovely family vid and the scene stealing dog is brilliant.
Lol I'm resubscribing to Matt after watching this! Soooo relatable! When my brother says "this is hard" I just laugh!
Yes your brother has the spice ! He makes you giggles , have him assist an improvise quarentene rag..he leafs and you pull it out of the mud...bravo , more maybe mom on a quieter paino..press on !
That was SUPERB and total fun. Keep up the good work!
12th Street Rag is a great piece, wouldn't mind hearing this one recorded in your solo style videos.
hahaha this was so entertaining to watch!!! I love how the dog wants the brothers attention at the end! OMG I love Ragtime!!!!
My dog would hear ragtime and come running from the other end of the 2 acre lot. Not Brahms, Beethoven or Calypso. Ragtime. Dogs understand music.
Really entertaining! Also your mom is super funny!
I'm a huge rag fan so this video made me smile SOOOOOO much!!!
You are an amazing piano player
this is hillarious and wholesome! Awesome!
Runs in the family! Lots of fun here! Nice left hand again, very punchy like it should be!
this is awesome! (= I've had a grin plastered on my face since the start and I'm all hyped from the awesome tune and the happy addictive personalities! (= new subscriber here (=
You need to make another video with your brother, this was hilarious haha
Hilarious! Thank you for the laugh. 😆
Haha This gave me a good laugh. Good to see some good sibling love, memories being made haha! xD
OMG… Amazing video! So much fun! How many years piano lessons at this point? Matt is a hoot!
Matt is hot.
Such talent ! Such a beautiful family - Love IT !!!
LOL !! Respect Kristen and well done. :-)
Nice to see siblings getting along.
This just popped up in my head and had to revisit 👍❤ best into I've found to this song eva!
You should write sheet music for this version
I love the bond between both of you! I wish you all the best =)
Kristen. Thank you for inspiring me once again!
lolololololol this was so fun to watch!!!
I love watching a stride piano player. It looks so easy, but think again!
Is he your little brother by any chance? He seems to tick the boxes for annoying but loveable little brother. Looks like you guys had fun :)
+Ggirl91 Yep, he's younger and he's a pro. 😂
I've mastered my craft
This was very enjoyable. Kristen, you seem like a very cool sister. Also, you are really cute.
Hahaha Karol at the end. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is so delightful I can't even...
Thanks for making me smile!
“Would you like to play the right hand while I play the left hand for you?”
“Sure!”
*throws dog into another universe*
That was fun. You’re a very talented pianist young lady.
I wish you would re do this video to teach the likes of me,middle aged and new to the piano and only been playing my first love(boogie woogie) for 6 months but ragtime is a close second with 12st rag being my fav.only just subscribed but cant stop watching this one keep them coming.
Not sure how old these vids r but ur officially my favorite people! 😂
Tanner Burdge they're brand new
MattMosca17 You guys are great! Your guitar shreddings awesome too 👍🏻
I would say congratulations on getting 5000 subscribers. But I am watching this 3 years later. At 43,600 Subs !
Great video! Also, quite cute brother :)
Your brother seems to be a natural for the keyboard. Wow. Fast learner!
You have so much fun been watching you for ages I can not stop it
"man, you make this shit look hard." is my favorite thing in this video
So THAT's the name of that tune! I remember hearing it in high school (1971-72) and never knew what it was.
Mom always loved you best! :)
Actually, you brother picked that up pretty fast. He should learn to play.
really like how goofy he was in this video.. so full of life :)
That's so awesome guys! :-D
this video is pretty funny. I imagine your brother to be right though. I think you likely have that ape like strength in your hands that makes you accidently crush door knobs and stuff... do you open all the jars in your house?

well if Matt would have ate his spinach then his forearms wouldn't burn unlike Kristen who could climb Mt. Everest with her fingers and make it sound good while doing it.
She'd do it like the music video for A Thousand Miles.
"You're also Mats' mom" I lost my shit for real XD XD XD
Ha, ha. This is great. I love the dog.
Beautiful family, beautiful energy! Thanks
You guys are adorable!
This was so much fun to watch. I LOVE the out takes! I call this song... FLING THE DOG RAG! Please stop pooch abuse but I LOVE the music but something tells me that brother knows MORE than what he's showing,
Liszt would be proud. I would love to hear you play him, I'm sure you'd do it very well.
loved it.. Ragtime is one of the things I can play on the piano. I enjoyed this video.
Loving this video
