This is bird note.

11 year old Zianzez Bell took an early interest in birds after he learned his first bird call.

For me, birding just brings a lot of joy.

I just got compelled to it because I saw like a whole bunch of chickadees in my backyard

and I was like, what are they called?

The chickadee call it sounded just like so happy that I just

weren't to learn more and so I just kept on taking a little bit of time to listen.

And as a piano student, Sienz says soon blended his love of birds with his musical skills

by creating piano compositions inspired by bird calls and songs.

Like this one inspired by the otherworldly voice of the common loon. A lot of bird claws are actually kind of high.

Usually like an octave higher than when I first thought.

With the call of the Carmen Loon, I realized

and it wasn't very high.

It was just like the smooth going up sound.

But it's really hard to do that without playing like a whole bunch of notes.

And so I realized that I'd have to play like a note under it and

sustained that while playing the other notes to create a kind of like

echo-y smooth upward term.
