@Juan2345rules Thanks for your nice words.

[playmorebluegrass]

just wondering. how long did it take you to memorize any song in particular. it sees to be that you enjoy what you are doing at such a youngage. i wish that i had enjoyed it more that young.....plz respond because i would like to know as i teach much to kids your size.......♥ thanks and happy playing!

[LarsenPiano]

@playmorebluegrass This piece I can't remember exactly how long it took to memorize. I'm guessing it took around a month at least because there were some technique she had to build along the way. This performance was done after she had it learned in her repertoire for about 8 months. In fact, one useful thing is to learn the piece as quickly as possible, then forget it for a few months, then go back to it again. It always sounds a lot better the second learning. This is what we did here.

"I would speculate at least 100 times faster than average. Having perfect absolute pitch is an inborn gift, which makes such things possible."

"You won't find a better one on YouTube for this age!"

A little conceited much? I do agree your daughter is talented, but bragging about such things will only make people hate you (or at least dislike you) more. In your effort to praise your daughter, you belittle all others below her talent. Intentional or not, please watch out for those things.

@PattyChedda Maybe it sounds conceited. Looking back I think it also sounds defensive which was the mood I was in at the time.

Not to undermine the time she spent learning this, but that's why I don't like these videos that much. The song, whilst technically correct, sounds so broken, it's not beautiful.

Sadly, Beethoven, other than Bach-who I both love very much-, cannot simply be played mechanically. They're completely different. You have to FEEL and SEE the music beyond the notes. I can see a story written in the notes.

I'd spend more time interpreting the work of art than playing it fluently. That's what it's about.

Fantastic! Keep it up.

@bakingbaker O and great job, wish I could be half as good.

[bakingbaker]

It's stuff like that leaves me in awe and dramatically lowers my self-esteem at the same time.

[ElianaDixon]

Great. She's so cute and a good player!

[folkflutist]

How did you reach those big stretches in the bass when you were that young? I mean, if I remember correctly, there are 9th and 10th chords in the bass. Did you just leave some notes out?

Bad! How to sell his child like that?
