My performance of Merry-Go-Round of Life from Howls Moving Castle arranged by Joe Hisaishi at Chapel Hill High School.

For the arrangement I used, I took two separate arrangements and intertwined them--the coda was from the "Ghibli Best Stories Piano Book" while (most of) the rest was from this arrangement:    • 【楽譜あり】人生のメリーゴーランド／久石譲（ピアノソロ中上級）"Howls...  . Give them support! very well scored

learning Merry Go Round of Life on the piano took approx. 2-3 months, with about 1-1½ hours of practice a day. I started taking piano lessons around the age of 7-12 years old, stopped playing, and then picked it up about a year ago at 16 years old.

My guess as to what abrsm grade this piece is; around grade 7.

This piece has very deep meaning towards me and I decided to share with an audience to reveal my passion for the song. This was the second day I had performed this piece, with a very shaky and crappy performance due to anxiety the previous day.

the show was not a competition, but the lead tech manager had said the audience had cheered the loudest she had heard in her life, that being said, there were some AMAZING other acts.

I have a deep love for Joe Hisaishi's compositions and will continue to post more of them on my channel. Give a like and a sub if you're interested!


thank you so much for watching
