Contorting himself casually into a yoga crab pose, Will Pickvance manages to tinkle the ivories upside down and back to front. He also shows how to play very tuneful piano with a roll of duct tape, or play a familiar classical tune in reverse with sheet music the wrong way up. 

Clearly a very polished pianist, Pickvance has created a solid narrative for a gentle, family-friendly story around his playing, so we follow the young Will to Salzburg where he has won a chance to represent his school as part of Mozart’s birthday celebrations. The hyper-competitive world of concert performance doesn’t faze wee Will and he has fun instead, making friends with Wolfgang Amadeus’ ghost and teaching him the theme tunes to Bluey and Super Mario. It’s a chance to gawk at his clever playing (taking familiar ditties like ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ or ‘Happy Birthday’ and giving them a jazz or rock’n’roll reworking) mixed with a light lesson about the history of music and some famous composers. 

Pickvance is joined by the enthusiastic Ben Winger (or Sam Jameson every other day) to slip on wigs and act out extra characters in the story. Animated projections liven up the production, which should appeal to junior musicians but is pretty entertaining for grown-ups too, with its message about embracing new creative styles and not getting too wrapped up in ego. 
Will Pickvance: First Piano On The Moon (Revisited), Summerhall, until 27 August, 11.50am.
