Monkey Shows That She Can Play The Piano, Too

Monkeys are creatures of many talents. Some know how to turn the car ignition key, some know how to make perfect somersaults and some know to juggle. Well, in this video we have Cassie the Capuchin monkey who knows how to play the keyboards. Why? Because she aspires to one day be able to play chopsticks all by herself... nah, just banging out a tune is more fun!

Sitting next to her owner, Cassie is delighted by the fact that she can hit the keys of this incredible musical instrument along with her owner and even more, she has the honor to do it herself. However, banging the keys from the front is somehow not satisfying enough for this monkey, so she hops on the other side to inspect how the keyboard works on that side. The curious Cassie realizes that the white and the black keys make different sounds, so while she is at the top of the instrument, she can have a go with the black ones and then decides what sound is more pleasing to her ears.

Being a monkey means a short attention span - just like a little child, so she needs a little kick to remind her that she has to keep on playing. Thus, whenever Cassie sets her mind on some other part of the instrument, her owner gives her a kick by hitting a key to which Cassie responds well and follows suit. She is one smart girl, indeed! But when it comes to changing her place of sitting on the keyboard, she might get a bit fussy. However, no sooner she understands that that is for her own good, she gets calm pretty quickly. Go Cassie, go, do not let anybody stifle your musical dreams!
