I've been poking around YouTube looking at various performances of the Maple Leaf Rag, and this has been the best one I've found so far. Everyone else tries to play it way, way too fast, but this guy is playing it at the right speed.
Okay, there are lots and lots of mistakes, but this kid is playing it at the right speed. Which is more than I can say for the other lightning-piano performances on YouTube.
@bgboy1998 are you kidding? haven't you seen videos get out of sync? It starts out right, then slowly gets out of sync. I didnt' even post his last name.. its not like I'm trying to get him known for this video or something. sheesh.
This is so fake!!!! His hands didn't even move at the end. There is no way he was playing that. Absolutely impossible. His hands were not moving in time to the music-he was way too slow!
very nice mate - i can relate - i was 8-9 when i started playing as well - - - try and get hold of some winifred atwell music - i used to play the cd(record) and play along with it - thats how i learnt her style - - - - always remember - in this world you can be anything you want to be - but listening and playing along with the old school stars are what will make you shine - - - keep up the good work mate
@Chaoticbravo About age 6. He had a few lessons before that and I figured out he wasn't learning to read music, he was playing by ear. Even now, his teacher gives him things that are really difficult or you can't find on youtube so that he won't just learn by ear but has to read the music. She also works on sight reading.
@Cassign Wow. I'm impressed. I started a year younger and wasn't playing that well until age 12. Here's a little pointer that really helped me out: The best way to learn how to read music is to write music.
@Madogbray ha ha. That is just windows movie maker getting out of sync. Why would I bother to post a fake video? I didn't even brag about his name? You are silly.
@Madogbray If you were half as smart as you pretend... you'd notice it's out of sync... of course i realise you can't play at all... does it feel nice to go trying to ruin the reputation of people more talented than you?
Hay cada boludo dando vueltas en youtube... mamita!
OK, on the topic of memorization, aty what point is it healthy for the piano student to play a piece without looking at the music. I am a 1st year piano student and if I do this I've found I will become lazy and lose my note-reading skills. Any piano teachers out there? What say ye?
@TubeSteak007 he learns with the music, but will never continue to look at it once playing it through because he can hear it. His teacher never plays anything through for him because he will play it by ear instead of reading the music, but once played, its in there and that's that. Playing new music all the time is the only way to keep his note-reading skills up. You guys should check out his other pieces though. he is almost 14 now.
@TubeSteak007 I am not a paino teacher, but I am self-taught and have taught others informally (so take my advice with a grain of salt... this is just how it works for me). No time is too soon to start memorizing music. However, it is very important that you keep up your sight reading skills. What I do is just sightread through a ton of random piano music. After only about a year of doing this, I got to where I could see a note on the page and my fingers would naturally go to the right key.
i'm about 15 years older than this kid and he plays this better than me so i'm not going to be bitter and give this kid a thumbs down, he kicked ass...scott joplin would be proud.
Aw, how cool! I'm learning this song too right now. Almost to the end. I like his steady tempo, most everyone who knows this song is tempted to just speed through to the end.
talented though he may be, I'd advise you not to call him "prodigious", since it might encourage his vanity more than his love for music :)
It's good to sound humble as a parent. Prodigious is not a formal title to choose over well-practiced. :D it is merely subjective, what he is. To me, a third person, he's a talented young to musician who needs to be encouraged :D Otherwise he'll learn to compete over stereotypes than to enjoy the music :) Please do not get me wrong!Keep practicing :)
@FliegendeHollaender ..forget that...this kid is prodigeous...you realize how many adult pianists who are very good wouldn't even ATTEMPT this tune? He makes mistakes & is a little halting a some points but I'm impressed that he could even play it at all at the age he was then. I have a son who is a prodigy (and that's the only way you can describe it) on drums. Could outplay most adults when he was just 10. Keep them humble by letting them stay and enjoy being kids
That's damn impressive, sounds like the proper version too. I recall playing an adaptation when I was younger. You're awesome, can't wait to see you in years to come.
It is impressive .... For a 9 year old. But everyone you do realize it does not to be mean but it sounds like crap. But it is great for a 9 yer old and he will probably be very good at piano if he keeps it up
@temporyacc But...it IS mean for you to say that it sounds like crap! My God, what if he reads your comment? Kids are sensitive, and unless you are that child's parent or music teacher, you should keep your critiques to yourself.
@MyPredat0r I would agree except he doesn't use them music much when practicing. It is not that he practiced til he knew it. He can listen to the music at the end of a movie and go over to the piano and play it. Wish I had his gift.
@linkdeas3 since he was 4. I didn't even plan to give him lessons, but after a couple of weeks of his older brother getting lessons, he kept copying what his brother had learned, we gave in :)
wow! i'm only 15 and i'm still learning this!!! the kid is great!!! and you say that this is the real piece? even i'm only playing the easier version......
make him play this again at his age now!! =)) hes amazing! u know what im already 15 and ive been learning the same piece for 2 years up to now cuz im too lazy to finish it!! my god i wish i had his wonderful talent :)
yeah i h8 myself. im 14 nd i have the tiniest freakin hands. i began 2 play this but the octaves were difficult. i had 2 move 2 joplins pieces that didnt have that much octaves. i couldnt even play the entertainer because of the octaves with thirds:(. so now i am playing the cascades by joplin. wat a sad world.
wow when you will be big you are the 2nd scott joplin ^_^ hehe my grand father and scott joplin are friends hehe then scott joplin died a long time ago
Its really good but i dont think age comes into it when my piano teacher moans at me i could jst say im 12 but i dont i get treated like an adult nd idont care it has made me a better player and i wish i could play a s good as him i cant play this but i can play the entertainer and other Scott Joplin pieces
gosh this kid is gonna be a heartbreaker... haha what a cutie (: and he has such amazing talent!!!! unbelievable. one of my face piano pieces... good luck to him in all. (:
I've been looking all over sheet music websites JUST for that song!! Did he play by ear? or does he remember it off sheet music? if so, PLAESE TELL ME THE SITE!!!!!
P.S. That's so cool!!!!! INFINITY IS WHAT I RATE IT!!!
@saxophones1397 we purchased the book "Scott Joplin, King of Ragtime" it had the difficult one in it. but we didn't buy it not online. He plays by ear most of the time, He reads the music once or twice and then never again.
I'm amazed that your hands are big enough! I'm 20, leaned to play that song when I was about 14 or so, and I still don't have large enough hands to reach all the notes!
Absolutely ridiculous!!!!!!! Andrew buddy keep doin what you're doing- to play this piece is unbelievable at your age you're truly amazing. Please pal don't give up the piano it would be a real waste. Can you imagine of what you can do in like 4-5 years!!!!???? Fantastic effort mate A+++++!
Very good Andrew... keep working hard, if you're 9 years old and you're playing so well, then one can imagine what you'll be doing in a few years time!
well done kid. im 24 and just starting to learn piano cos i allready play guitar and drums and have really gotten into ragtime and wish i was this good at any instrument at the age of 9. keep it up.
Thats great - really good but the thing is I bet his parents spend loads of money on him (lessons, music etc). Nice Grand Piano thats been bought for him.
@apsufan Yeah, and actually WATING to learn and play REALLY helps. It seems obvious but: if you enjoy it and want to do it you will definitely do allot better.
I've been poking around YouTube looking at various performances of the Maple Leaf Rag, and this has been the best one I've found so far. Everyone else tries to play it way, way too fast, but this guy is playing it at the right speed.

Thats great - really good but the thing is I bet his parents spend loads of money on him (lessons, music etc). Nice Grand Piano thats been bought for him.

all the lessons in the world will not make a kid a pianist; that takes many hours of practice away from lessons!

@apsufan Yeah, and actually WATING to learn and play REALLY helps. It seems obvious but: if you enjoy it and want to do it you will definitely do allot better.
