Adorable little girl with “pep in her step” spots street band and quickly steals the show

It can be hard to find live music on the streets these days when we’ve all got YouTube and Spotify, but the jazz scene is alive and well.

As long as there’s an audience, however big or small, people will play live.

And among some great jazz bands, there’s this one here. This is Tuba Skinny.

They’ve been a band for 10 years and have a couple albums released.

Building their listeners and fanbase wasn’t easy. You’ve got to get out there and show them what you can do, which is exactly what they did.

And one day, the band performed live on the streets when they got something of a surprise collaboration.

Then along came this listener: a little blonde girl, about 3 or 4 years old, maybe younger
Seems like she liked their music a lot more than they thought. She couldn’t help but feel it in her toes, and she needed to release it.

This little girl clearly had a spring in her step, and rhythm in her bones.
She could step and hop almost in sync with the timing that Tuba Skinny was playing at, and people noticed.

“Get that kid to dance class – any dance class – all the dance classes you can find. She has music and rhythm in her bones. What joyousness!” said one of the comments on the video

The band was enjoying her company just as much as the crowd did.

It wasn’t long before some of the band members had trouble hiding their smiles.
The trumpet and clarinet players in particular have some pretty big grins on their faces. I would too.

”Sign that dancer up today. What a little scene stealer. Wonderful fun as always. Thank you one and all.” another commenter wrote

Our little dancer’s got some fans already. Much deserved, don’t you think?
You can see more of Tuba Skinny’s work on their Instagram page. They do live street performances a lot, so you may be able to catch them if you’re in their area.

And as for the little girl, we wish her nothing but all the jazz music and love she can get.

In a truly touching moment on Britain’s Got Talent, Martin and his daughter Faye brought more than just their voices to the stage—they brought their hearts.

Together, they showcased a rare and beautiful blend of familial bond and musical skills.

Martin, a seasoned singer, discovered his daughter’s vocal talent at an early age, and from there, the decision to perform together on Britain’s Got Talent seemed like destiny.

Choosing opera, a genre that demands much from its performers, they stepped onto the stage with courage and readiness to share their passion.

 

 

Yet, ten-year-old Faye, with the support of her father, rose impressively to the occasion.
Her youthful voice, full of purity and promise, harmonized perfectly with Martin’s experienced tone, creating a captivating duet of “The Prayer” that resonated deeply with everyone in the room.

The piece they selected to perform was both demanding and enchanting, perfectly suited to demonstrate their vocal range and control.

The audience was instantly captivated by the opening notes of “The Prayer,” drawn into the emotional and melodic world created by father and daughter.
It was evident from the start that their decision to perform together was not just about showcasing individual talent but about celebrating their shared love for music.

However, as the performance unfolded, these doubts were quickly dispelled.
The judges found themselves not only convinced of the technical quality of the performance but emotionally moved by it as well.

The judges were particularly struck by Faye’s maturity and control, qualities seldom seen in such young performers.
Their feedback was filled with praise, highlighting both her ability to handle the complex demands of opera and the beautiful interaction between her and her father.

7 Teens in “Barbershop outfits” take over school show with acapella hit by Billy Joel

0

At West Oak High School’s spring chorus concert took the stage for a uniquely ensembled performance.

Everything about it was wonderfully at odds.
First off, the presented themselves as a “quartet”- all 5 of them, later to become 7. They also refer to themselves as a “barbershop” group and the “West Oak HS Men”.

The only thing is, 2 of them are very much girls and, while they sound amazing, Barbershop also has specific vocal rules that make it barbershop.

 

No such rules were being followed. The fact that everything about the show is a bit off from what one might expect infuses it with some good old-fashioned humor.

And they picked thee perfect song for it, too. They sang “For the Longest Time” by Billy Joel with vocal harmony and a spirited delivery.

Their performance, though unconventional, presented a fresh take on a beloved classic.

While they may not be up to date on their definition of things, there is no question these kids are packing talent.
The concert drew an enthusiastic crowd of peers and family members. The giggles and whispers of an anticipating audience is nearly contagious.

Opting for a barbershop quartet style with a twist, the ensemble expanded on the traditional four-part harmony.

 

 

This deviation from standard barbershop didn’t diminish their charm or harmonic precision.
Instead, it offered a unique rendition that embraced the essence of barbershop’s rich, textural harmony, while presenting it in a way that was vibrant and accessible to a younger audience.

Individual talents shone throughout the performance, particularly during solos by students named Jayden and Miranda.

Such a pre-performance atmosphere often sets the tone for the engagement level throughout the event, and this was no exception.

While the ensemble’s style wasn’t strictly barbershop due to its larger size and mixed composition, their performance was nonetheless impressive.

Their adaptation managed to uphold the entertaining, technically demanding aspects of the genre.

Though it bent traditional conventions, their show was fun and admirably executed.
