She is very good.  But the mellotron seemed to confuse and delight her.
 
I think I understand what Reich was trying to do in his piece, the inteweaving or "phasing" of 2 piano lines into one, with what sounds like 2 different but close tempos.  Something like that.  What a memory challenge!  She did it well.

A very talented young lady indeed.  She can play anything from ELP, Coltrane, Miles, Jobim, Guaraldi, Bach, Beethoven, Corea, Reich, etc...

She has a promising future ahead of her in music.
