Hey there! My name is Kara, and this is where I give my concerts. I'm 35 years old and have been playing the piano for 28 years of my life. My love of video games started at only a few years old, when my older brother received an NES for his fifth birthday. We grew up playing games like Mario, Donkey Kong, Bubble Bobble, Zelda, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, and many more! I am a classically trained pianist, but discovered the beauty of video game music later on, when I won the Final Fantasy XIV music contest for writing my own arrangement. During my streams, you'll see a girl trained in classical technique, but with a nerdy gamer side! My repertoire builds with each new request, so don't hesitate to send me new sheet music or make a request via streamersonglist during the stream! I also enjoy playing many other kinds of music, such as pop, blues, Disney, broadway and more!

## Bump your song to the top of the queue! Most songs on the songlist: $10.00 Live-Learn (see below): $30.00 ## Q: Do you take requests? **A:** I sure do! If you want to suggest a song for me to play during the stream, follow my Twitch channel and head on over to [StreamerSonglist](https://www.streamersonglist.com/s/karacomparetto/songs), log in using your Twitch account and pick out a tune from my repertoire. You can also type **!sl** on Twitch Chat to bring up the link to the site or **!sr** (name of song) if you already know the name of your song. If you would like to change your song, just type !ws to remove your request from the queue. Many of the songs on my list have not been played by me before. If you pick a song with a low number of plays, you risk imperfection! But I assure you that I can usually rock a new piece too. ## Q: Does it cost anything? **A:** Making a request is completely free but a tip is always appreciated, which you can send through [StreamElements](https://streamelements.com/karacomparetto/tip). ## Q: The song I want is not on your list. Can I submit sheet music for you to play? **A:** Yes of course! You can send them in PDF Format to [karaquestsheets@yahoo.com](mailto:karaquestsheets@yahoo.com). Use the song's official English title as both the Email Subject and the File Name (Example: Artist/Source Name - Song Name). Also please attach only one song to each email and make sure to include your Twitch handle somewhere in the message. I'll evaluate the song during my free time, and if I like it I will have my mods put it on StreamerSonglist so it can be requested in the future. **Limit three song sheet submissions per person per month.** ## Q: But I really want you to play my song! **A:** Well you can Bump a song! You can make a donation through [StreamElements](https://streamelements.com/karacomparetto/tip) with the message “Bump (Name of Song)" to push a song to the top of the queue! All songs require a minimum donation of $10. Once my mods get the notification they will move the your song to the head of the queue. Bumped songs will be given guaranteed play during the stream. **I reserve the right to decline to play your request so please have an alternative song in mind before bumping a song just in case.** ## Live-Learn For $30, you can request a live-learn, which means you can send me sheet music during the stream to this email: [karaquestsheets@yahoo.com](mailto:karaquestsheets@yahoo.com). Please contact one of the mods before you pay, just in case the sheet music is not playable by me! Once approved, you can send $30 and it will be added to the queue. ## Q: I made a mistake with my donation. Can I get a refund? **A:** Donations are final and non-refundable! My mods will work with you to try to make it right but by donating you agree to not making any charge backs on any tips made.
