Apparently, if you go with mainstream pop references and pretend to be somewhat eccentric you don't even have to worry about playing shit:

But he learned piano so well that he had nothing else to do, and in his spare time he invented the world's first time machine.

I loved it, then he starting playing this pandiatonic bullshit, which I guess has something to do with some hit song by an act I never heard of. And it's kind of painful to watch from there on. He's acting up a storm; people love that kind of shit.

I can't play any real piano at all, but I can get a better effect with that wash of pastel notes than that.
But, the opening was awesome. Piano is a percussion instrument, don't forget this, and that killed.

I would have to reserve judgment on this guy, he's trying to make a living you know.

I used to do that when I was a kid, 11 yrs old, go figure

And I also used to jump off the auditorium balcony at the music college

Then go play basketball in the college gym

And only after that sit in *echh* theory class , then practice the Bach Inventions.

Luck had it the Beatles made an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show so I quit that college

And so look where I am now, typing on KVR forums
What ever happenned to Lassie and Roy Rogers ? And all I really wanted was to be a Mouskateer... or be one of the Beatles HAHA

If there's any useful theoretical tools that are by means helpful, it's this:

Music teacher at my high school stressed this as being one of the most practical foundations of developing an understanding with key signature/modal relationships, as well as a handy tool to help the learner on developing a practice routine (ie: Playing the same melody/chord pattern, around the circle), reading music on different keys etc.
