Gavin really enjoyed learning and developing this romantic piece. This is one of the selections that he is practicing to perform at the 12/27/2009 Honor Flight Benefit Concert at Otterbein College. This is one of the selections that he is practicing to perform at the 12/27/2009 Honor Flight Benefit Concert at Otterbein College. A special thanks to Gavin's teacher, Mary Craig Powell. We are also very thankful to Antonio Consales, Italian concert piantist, with whom Gavin further developed this piece at his masterclass.

As a Violin and Piano Instructor, having listened to many Student Recitals, this is the best piano performance by a six year old that I have ever watched and heard! Best wishes to you, Gavin, as you continue your musical studies and reach your fullest potentials as a Pianist. You are definitely a gifted Musician and prodigy.

Gavin, that was beautifully executed! Very good choice for your concert. Good luck with it. Otterbein College? You mean in Westerville Ohio?

[MaxGavOhio]

Yes, that the college. I am so excited about it. Thanks for your comment!

You are a complete musician already at your age Gavin. Your strength lies in the sensitivity of your heart and the depths of your soul. Stay as you are today, always! With great affection and admiration, Antonio Consales

You are a big inspiration to me, Antonio. Thank you for your comment.

One of the best performances of this lovely piece that I have ever heard, and from a 6 year old too! Congratulations Gavin! And I'm so sorry for calling him George in my comment on his Beethoven video...

Wow! Played with such musical maturity! Incredible!

[Love2panda1]

Two words: Truly Incredible!!!! It took me so long just to learn the piece Fur Elise and you, just absolutely incredible....

[aniroc59]

wow. This piece is hard to play. my hands got cramps from stretching fingers....I was 12...and there's tons of jumping! He's incredible!

*gapes in awe*

I love this. It is amazing, and don't takeoffense when I say it's cute that you're having to sit on books.

@SCSQ4

My exact thoughts, well done little guy!

[FranzofL]

Wow!!!!! You are more musical than most graduate students! Keep your beautiful playing up and keep your ear sharp and the only thing you'll have to improve upon is your technique. ...Which is fabulous for a child your age! You have an incredible talent and are so fortunate to have discovered it so early in live. Always be true to yourself!

I would love to here you play Chopin's Ballade No. 1. I've heard many versions of the venetian gondola song done by children your age and you are definitely more expressive and I enjoy it. :) Keep up the good work.

You are a very, very talented little boy and I can't imagine what is in store for your future. Brilliant!

[SCSQ4]

@MaxGavOhio You're welcome, Gavin! Keep up the great work.
