8 year old Nathan Schaumann plays "All of Me" by Jon Schmidt - with a slight mishap

[Jojeeh]

Great job Nathan! I so wish I could play it just as good as you!

[florenceobsessed]

love how the person turning the page is in an orange jumpsuit!

[Butcher0117]

i cant believe people are critical at all of this kid, people hes eight and really talented



[allinone97]

@Butcher0117 dude hes in my class and hes like ten and everyone else is like 13-12

[Tsciortino97]

this kid is getting far in life

[7LovinDaLife]

Wow!! Your amazing. I'm 15 and I can only play the first line.. Haha you have to teach me sometime :)

[Tracylovesmj]

Young Jon Schmidt :)

[ara1171]

awwww he's so young and soooooo talented the 14 dislikes are people with some serious issues!!!!! good job little dude you have REAL talent!!!!

[DarkJoker99]

Needs a lot more practice but still pretty talented. Not liking the mistake and the Dad acting like they could never record it again or something and telling him to continue though he didn't want to.

[MegaStayathome]

@DarkJoker99 Sometimes kids need a dad or mom to push them to keep on!! Kudos to this wonderful kid, who is destined to be a great. Michael W Smith always gives thanks to his mom for "making" him practice!! :)

[melimarkus]

way to go!!! such amazing talent cant imagine what he will be like by 16 on the piano.

[1Hydraulic1]

played some notes in the beginning incorrectly;but it's REALLY GOOD for your age!!

[TheWaterFallsVEVO]

prooo , te confundis pero tenes 8 asi qe no importa GENIO!

[copypasteism]

Wauw... i'm amazed!

[Nimash]

AMAZING!

[ThePseudoSlayer]

honestly, this deserves a second comment i am so envious of his ability to play this song - am determined to learn it myself and post my own version.

[ThePseudoSlayer]

this is absolutely amazing for an eight year old

[TMCstudentblogs]

I need to stop watching videos of kids who play WAY better than I! :-D

Great job, Nathan!

[boroboy70]

Fantastic. Keep playing. Ps tell your parents to stop wearing orange jumpsuits .... Makes it look like they have just been sky diving or it is a giant sizes 'morph' for those Brits who remember the show

[SirDudek]

so cute...don t stop playing...be strong and play you have can do better and you WILL DO BETTER

[elizabeth98mustang]

Great effort!!! But a piece of advice; practice. I notice that you are unsure of some notes and sometimes get the timing off; watching this though, I know that you are trying your best and I wish you good luck!!!

[lucaslim41]

Hey, great effort. More practice. Be proud of yourself. Don't stop playing in the middle of the way. Always do your best to complete a great masterpiece. That's how you respect it. :)

[spcielifemusic]

He have lots to do

[EdjTheRofler]

good work. I recommend you to play this slower first. people always think- faster is better, but first you need to play i slowly, learn rhythm, and play clear notes, than play it normal speed =)

[MrTrombona1]

Great job kid. Keep playing - don't stop!

[AWSMkidz]

Nathan says hi to you all!

[AWSMkidz]

He's one of my best friends...

And he's sitting next to me right now.

[NicoleHeartPiano]

This is amazing!!!

You ar just 8 years old and you can play this beautiful song (that i love)!

Never stop playing you are awesome !! ^^

[TheMinecraftHer0]

No matter what anyone says, never stop playing, because God gave you a gift, and you're clearly pushing yourself to the limit! Stellar performance, I didn't notice any of the mistakes, keep it up!! :D

[oioichoi18]

aww can't you see that their parents are pushing him to the limit?? kids his age should still be eating their bogies and playing in sand pits!!!! Still he is absolutely amazing :) x

[philip10210]

OMG at your age i was barely playing kids songs, congratulations, youll be a master when you turn my age, (and im not) :)

[meryna17]

Ur Totally amazing Keep on ...... <3 <3

[samtftw]

I sincerely find it hard to understand how anyone could dislike this. Okay there are mistakes and it's not perfect, but are they missing the fact he's 8YEARS OLD?! At 8 I was playing from a book called GBDF and ACE and now at the age of 20 I can just about play this. Darn he's gonna be good. (not that he isn't already)

[rhondasjr8]

That was some fantastic playing. :)

[TheDiggster13]

This piece is very hard. The only perfect version of this I've found is the one by the composer so don't worry about mistakes... I'm 16 and I'm still trying to learn this!

[MaestroLandon]

Im 15 and I learned this piece a year ago, and yours still sounds better than mine. Great job with this, but one piece of advice, never stop playing, even if you mess up. I've noticed that, as a pianist of 5 years, when I play for large audiences of like... 150 people, when I mess up, no one knows, trust me kid. No one can tell if you mess up but you, and probably your piano teacher. But all in all, you're very talented. I hope to see you around the Juilliard campus when we both make it. Haha :)

[SignoraLeggeri]

AWESOME. Inspiring. You rock.

[davidparkowski]

Bravo!

[wanawara111]

мура

[SwiftyStorm]

nice playing for an 8 year old, some mistakes though... good playing son

[NK1092]

be another Jon Schmidt !

[guitarfreak41658]

Your in his new video! look it up! the one with john schmidt playing it himself!

[PurpleandWhite411]

I'm working on this piece but I'm only on the first 4 pages. :/ this kid's amazing! How long did it take you to learn this??? 

[P1anoShizz]

Can see talent but not old enough to play it with the correct emotion, keep practicing thou!

[SomeoneNamedTom]

you must play a looottt of video games to have fingers that strong! or maybe just a lot of piano... but whatever it is, that was amazing! :O

[musicalmario28]

as a musician myself, when watching this I see a guy with at lot of talent, and a LOT of time and hard work must have been put into learning this piece. However, my opinion is that he isn't quite old enough to play it with the emotion and sensitivity it deserves, and he sort of rushes through it, focusing too much on playing the notes right and not quite putting in enough expression.

[shelliwsmith]

great! fabulous talent + entertainment!

[TheLP111]

I wouldn't play it so fast, because you aren't playing the Real rythm :)

[TheTonyStyles]

damn kid thats pretty gud

[ninjax261]

shit. wish i could read sheet music that well. you know, or play that well.

[NBCboy1]

Pure talent!

[sweetJesus1234]

I am almost twenty and I recently learned how to play the entertainer in beginners piano. Screw you kid. :)

[SamuelFickel]

When I was his age I was learning what Middle C was. 9 1/2 years later I'm just now uploading that song to youtube and being schooled by a kid that's 10 years younger than me. omg!

[SwishShotz]

Sub to swishshotz 

[Milliemoo43]

[thexangel55]

[hudsontriton]

[Arnetsew]

LOL i love how he got all excited for the elbow thingy and then missed the next part hahahha THIS IS WAY TOOOO CUTEE!!!!

[R3ACTORfour]

Amazing is all that anyone can say.... So talented :)

[HungryHippoSinaMus]

[GenGenzLokito]

Omg, this made my day. You played very well. Thanks for not giving up!!

[Okami163]

I can't help but smile at this awesome performance. :) Very well played. :)

[Hereson0]

Well done Nathan ;)!

[qwertyisauiop]

ARGH!! OKAY, IT'S 2:23 THEN!!!

[qwertyisauiop]

Okay, maybe it's at 2:24....Heh heh....sorry.

[qwertyisauiop]

Smile at 2:25 !! And by the way, that was a really nice come back you did, I was really surprised. :)

[qwertyisauiop]

You're how old?

[qwertyisauiop]

What's a few mistakes? When I'm playing, and someone starts humming along, I freak out and make a lot of mistakes! I haven't even tried, I'm almost thirteen, and scared of trying! You're good!

[pimpsta181]

I'm jealous of this kid......

[Lunt1557]

You are so cute and amazing...God bless you ;-)

[tappinfool29]

[ozaki94]

[GabyV96]

I stopped trying to learn this halfway because i thought i couldn't.... but when i saw that you're half my age, it inspired me to continue (: good job kid, you're great

[toryaug]

Amazing talent you have there... keep it up and it will be worth all the hard work you're putting in ... a future of great fun and success is waiting for you. Keep giving us more as you go along. I loved watching you play! You obviously have a great dad supporting you.

[funmanswife]

Totally amazing! Way to go! My respects to mom and dad too! I know it takes a lot of support from parents to have such amazing talent! Congratulations!

[theOnlyHe110]

Just saw Nathan perform in SEAMC (South East Asia Math Compition) He's now 9 and waaayyyyyy better at it now. To think of that I'm only half as good and I'm 13... =='

[ravyna95]

I saw him play live at the fobissea music festival, really awesome =) I have a video of it :P

[Clavierkid]

Good job! I'm working on this right now, hopefully I'll be able to record it soon. 

[asland5565]

you're awesome dude! although, i'd encourage you to slow down a bit so you can make it more even. you certainly have both the talent and skill, the only thing you need to do polish it.

[JohnKarnes256]

Also, I would love to see you try "Flight of the Bumblebee" or something else you can find in "My Favorite Program Album" (its green and has a piano on the front) You are truly talented man.

[JohnKarnes256]

kid, im fifteen and learning this song, its not incredibly difficult for somone as old as me, but you have TALENT. Ive been playing on and off for nine years. As wierd as it sounds, your eight years old and the only reason you made any mistakes on this that i noticed was reaching difficulties. As you get older, you can really stretch your hands if you keep playing, And you better, cause with talent like that, girls will love you. lol a little down the road but anyways. good luck to you.

[08060915]

I feel that I am a moron when it comes to music : (

[pianohombre]

Keep playing buddy! Good work!

[toyuyn]

epic talent boy.

keep up the great work!

[Leenee94]

hahha, loved the ending!

u are really good, keep up the good work!

[Glupipi]

It's like he has Parkinson but is able to control it.

[raiezza06]

ive come to the conclusion that you must be genetically modified

[BruneiBunch]

[ameagor]

@raiezza06 XDXD
