3-year old gives public piano recital

[bobosky92]

Wait till his feet can actually reach the pedals

[SoulSounds82]

He's amazing!!

[Blackout987]

I didn't know Pianos could drive

[GeeZeeJay]

I've always wanted to be good at the piano/keyboard. But i've never been to piano lessons. ;(

[jg789123]

i couldn't do better

[bekacynthia]

Oh my God, he is playing very difficult tunes for his age, he has an amazing control of his left hand as well, and he is reading music too! too much for a three year-old! good job, little man! you are going to amaze the world! cheers from Brazil! :)

[Qingcang]

Amazing!

[ucantbreakdabroken]

he plays better than me I feel so a shame well done little man you are marvelous :)

[flyingAnet]

forget your kid being good at the piano, that's just easy, what's more impressive is his magic ! how does he make that piano float ??????

[chitjilla]

How can he play like that with those tiny little cute hand!?

Ps: the beginning with the driving piano reminds me of a thousand miles by vanessa Carlton HAHA xD ..

[karamaddybff]

Its a green screen not a driving piano duh

[karamaddybff]

U can so tell theres a green screen but the music is amazing

[BEsuperu]

[TheTruthSeek]

[Manwithgas123]

[Duaressma7]

wow! what a prodigy!

[mast3rsword]

OMG I want a piano I could ride too!!!

[fapestar]

I remembered I first learn to play that 2nd piece when I was like 16.

[FordFalcon1962nBlue]

now play the russian anthem blindfolded.. i can lol ive played it so many times... lol

[FordFalcon1962nBlue]

lol i agree 3 comments below-

[iwatchedyourvideo101]

he's not even looking!! holy ...

[iwatchedyourvideo101]

come on, he's not three. he's, like, 5. unless hes a giant. but thats still really good.

[deathcharge811]

in my last video it was a white 2 year old playing old mc donald on the piano and it said 2 year old piano prodigy. and then i saw this. after that i felt sad for the 2 year old kid XD

[lhtony]

@deathcharge811 the description said he's 2 year 9 months old, which is pretty much 3 lol

[anonimous898]

@deathcharge811 me too hahahaha

[deSmoAniMcaIngel]

wow hees not even looking most of the time

[NathanStaryProductio]

Look how cute he was......aw.....

[Msunappreciatedartis]

the second song he played i couldnt play till 5th grade! DANG! hes good

[CelestialZenith]

Very well played. A minor error at 2:04, but nonetheless a very impressive performance. I don't want it to seem like I'm criticizing the kid, cuz that's not my intent at all. I'm just slightly skeptical of this "rainbow" method. It seems it provides a good starting point, just as long as one doesn't become overly reliant on the colours.

[sasakovac]

wow! that is AMAZING!

[linjedomarn99]

That green screen is amazing!

[rininurma]

cuteee

[kimx0xx]

Now play Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz ;)

[hi19702]

I can play these two pieces and he beats me in both. a 3 year old is better than me *sigh*

[dungtwan]

so cute ~ little boy >.<

[HatsuneYui]

he's not even looking 

[kayceebeerocks]

D: NO FAIR! lol...only 3??? MOZART!!!

@DernierTemps2012 WORK ON YOUR SPELLING! U MISSPELLED JALOUSE! ITS J-E-A-L-O-U-S!

[TheRlkb]

wow this asia kid is playing the piano!! wow 3 year´s old omg!!

[13devil70]

why are all talented kids asian i wish i was asian now

[LesPauloCaster]

wow...is this the famous NYAN piano?

[janeth10901]

I think that for him to play the piano at an early age it was more than just learning how to read the notes/colors... You can see he likes it and does not even look at the pages most of the time.

[TheJeffrey4eva]

i love the way his hair appears and dissapears

[uaimadeira]

Vc é uma benção de Deus !

[riviell]

Mom and Dad: The collar folds down OVER the bow tie, covering the black straps.

So you know for next time.

[orhankonca]

[TheTellybean]

He has to keep playing or else the piano with stop and crash, like the sponge bob movie Atlantis lol

[Mycahsakura]

[majonee15]

[nadhirabieberFans]

[h4haniah98]

I love how he's playing and even looking at the music :)

[animegalc4]

why does it make me less impressed because he is asian?

[spirky]

@animegalc4 its a drilling way in those country's not beeing suprised is normal for us cos we dont push our kids that way most western country's do it like u can be what ever u wanne be honny aww u dont wanne do that come on aaa u realy dont well than dont sew it urself. but here they have 2

[animegalc4]

[ilovekyokyoxD]

[friendswithbenefit22]

[soohyunfanz]

THE SCORE BOOK IS IN CHINESE!!!!

[TheClanky66]

[kameornjw92]

just because he can play a piano does not mean he is a prodigy. 

[redizdead666]

@kameornjw92 THREE YEARS OLD ! idiot

[ReaIly]

Kusturica would like this.

[domopunk123]

LOOK DUMBOS its just a green screen!!!!!! dumbos

[XoXmuffinprincessXoX]

@domopunk123 it's actually dumbass, and that kinda made you look like an idiot, but yeah, beside that, you've got a point.

[ForEverLana]

oh wow, fantastic! My lil brother is 4 he can hardly play, he just bangs the keys.

I am amazed :D

[nelz999]

@ForEverLana I am 15 and I still bang the keys xD

[MufcAnts]

@nelz999 18 here :) its a style of playing in my opinion, to the people who try to put too much feeling into the songs my way of playing is bad. to me, their way of playing is gay.

[rideguideuk]

WOW

[SuperDongtimo]

so cute the same my brother

[caseyseanb52]

Coming up next: the piano-playing embryo...

[indieafro]

@caseyseanb52

[sathiyamani]

[XoSs]

@heikohoff o thank god

[AlvaroSaaJeno]

@H3LIOTROP3 are you serious? pretty awesome video

[hatch722]

lol....i really like how some people feel like it's necessary to point out that he did not actually play on a moving car.... idiots

[XoXmuffinprincessXoX]

@hatch722 it's because there are a lot of comments sayin: are you crazy?/ putting a kid on a car?? that's why -.-

[hatch722]

@XoXmuffinprincessXoX

-.- thanks captain obvious....it's just so flamboyantly blatant that the people saying that are being sarcastic....you've gotta realize they're joking, unless you're an idiot.

[XoXmuffinprincessXoX]

@hatch722 oh, no, dont fool yourself, a lot of them actually mean it!

[loorloop]

lol that a joke ?

too young to play correctly

[dka0314]

props to you for an amazing teaching method, props to im for being able to learn and play this well at this age. I hope i get to go see him play in 10 years or so when he is performing nationally if he isn't already!

[LIAMDABESTABLE]

@heikohoff no shit

[XoXmuffinprincessXoX]

@H3LIOTROP3 are you kidding me!? It's done by computer. -.-

[H3LIOTROP3]

@XoXmuffinprincessXoX  durrr...NO SH**! LOL

[Jayd3e101]

Gee some people are really.. 'unlogical' "WOAH ISNT THAT DANGEROUS PUTTING HIM ON A MOVING PIANO CAR?"

[ben1996123]

La Candeur ftw

[vyphamngoc]

[44wsgs]

[AntimatterProject]

[xMcIceTx]

Why would you want a moving backround in a piano video???

[yingting6136]

[emhuang02]

he's good i only started playing this piece in like 1st grade and i sucked!!! lol

[vicki1106887]

[locococo915]

[abhikmazumder]

[Pianda]

Really delighting!

[objetovolantenoiden]

very very good! nice job!

[iamman711]

man i wish i could do that and i'm already 77 years old.

[redtree6767]

What's up with the cheesy green screen backrounds?

[dogstyle2222]

He looks older them 3

[Newbpwng]

hes pretty damn good for a 3 year old but any 3 year old can do this if tought from year 1 or 2, people learn most of the things they kno in whole life in the first 3 years of life

[Godsjudgement12]

its first 5 years but yeah, my brother knows how to play call of duty when he was 2 <_<

[michaelcromley]

good job! impressive

[phuzzykrumbstuff]

NEATO!!! MY piano doesn't drive when I play it. I'd practice more if it did!

[amicusnemini]

this is FAKE you can tell they used a green screen

[xSouLPuriTyx]

this is not fake... they only used d green screen for the background...

[MostCreativeName]

He played the song did he not? Who cares if there's a green screen for the background?

[haeunnn]

no duh.

[Newbpwng]

maybe u should become privte detective

[MoreEvilThanNorman]

lol... so many talented asians... but lack of exposure because the world entertainment is monopolized by the west...

[bradtaylor32]

Yes, there are tons of asians who can play instruments well--however most of them lack the ability to be expressive in their playing as well as the practical skills necessary to do more than just give recitals. Their work ethic is impressive, but their ability to go beyond the written note is not.

[happyboyy8k]

bradtaylor32, he only a little kid, I would be more than happy to have him as my son.

[bradtaylor32]

I wasn't criticizing this child, or this video, rather responding to what "moreevilthannorman" commented. I wouldn't expect a 3 year old, or even a 10 year old to be able to play musically.

[gambatula]

race has to do with musicality?

[bradtaylor32]

Skin color? No. Everything else, yes. I see my first comment has garnered several thumbs downs. Oh well. I speak from many years of experience working with many different kinds of folks. I find that first generation Asians have the issues I mentioned above, while Americanized Asians have fewer of those issues. I probably shouldn't have said "ability" though. I can't judge that. You can call my views stereotypes, but remember, stereotypes aren't based on imaginary things.

[bradtaylor32]

Asians are very concerned with precision. Fine. That's a great character trait to have. Many Americans are more concerned with performance. An Asian may come to the US and a play a note-perfect piece to a bored audience, while a more musical, risky and exciting performance with a few mistakes would have gotten more attention. I have the background and experience to make comments like this. If you don't, please don't bother replying in an effort to argue with me.

[beng032763]

MoreEvilThanNormal actually got it right. Remember when all Miss Universe winners were all Blue-eyed blonds?  As we meet other people and get a taste of other culture, we change our standards. As biases are outmoded and finally disappear, you create a new standard of what is a good musician. I do not think "American or White Musicians" will continue to be the measuring stick then.

[bradtaylor32]

I think other cultures are great. I'm not trying to be biased towards americans. There are great musicians from many many different countries. However, I don't think we should "change our standards" to be understanding of strict, lifeless music. Life must be breathed into the music on the page.

[beng032763]

Have you seen Aimi Koabyashi's video taken of her playing when she was three? Don't you think she is expressive enough for your standards? Don't you think she is a good performer?

[bradtaylor32]

Just watched one. Pretty impressive. Good performer, and expressive. I didn't say all Asians play without expression, I said most. And a 3 year old child is not a good example. I'm speaking of those who have the ability to learn expression and understand it. It took me a good amount of true growing up before I felt comfortable playing the music of certain composers, because of the amount of maturity they require.

[abhikmazumder]

Musical maturity comes to different people at different ages. I don't think you can generalize and say that you have to be a certain age to be able to give life to the music.

[beng032763]

What is an Americanized Asian? What are you? Are you an Americanized European? Well, are you saying that Asians lack the the expressive and performance genes? Whose standards are we using here. Yours?

[bradtaylor32]

Americanized Asian is an Asian who was born in the US. One who assimilates into US cultures. I don't claim whatever European background I may have had centuries ago. I am American. I was born here, as were my parents, grandparents, and many other generations. I don't think Asians lack specific genes. That's ludicrous. I think they are more concerned with playing a note perfect piece, they forget to MAKE MUSIC.

[gambatula]

You are full of yourself.

[bradtaylor32]

Sorry, but no. I'll take that to mean you've given up refuting my arguments, which would be a good stance to take. When I say I have the kind of background and experience necessary to make the comments I have been making, that is simply what I mean. That doesn't make me full of myself, that makes me knowledgeable.

[gambatula]

After watching the videos on your channel, I see playing at your church gives you all the credential in the world.

Believe me, you're not the only musician around.

[bradtaylor32]

I have a masters degree in music, hold several additional certifications, and have played piano for 20 years, among many other things. Don't get snotty with me just because you don't like what I have to say. Yes, there are plenty of other musicians around, and I think most who share the kind of credentials I have would agree with what I'm saying in this respect.

[BlackhawkInlovewithB]

@bradtaylor32 do u have a strapped feather behind your red-coloured head?? how many generations are you talking about?? you too are europeans you know....

[EverVk]

You cannot call regard yourself as an "American" while calling other Americans "Americanized Asian" and such you racist prick. You are a sad and ugly soul indeed. I bet you are one of those extremist individuals out there that wants to assassinate Obama.

[XxlateMetalxX]

well, i would say he was good...but hes asian & thats wut i expect from asians

[spacecommander12]

hahaaha the background is ridiculous but this kid is absolutely incredible for his age
