Zachary, 3-years-old w/ Cerebral Palsy, plays Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star on his iPad.

He may not be able to talk yet, or walk, but this little guy who's affected by cerebral palsy (spastic quadriplegia/high tone in all four limbs), has a gifted ear for music. He loves playing his piano and he loves musical apps on the iPad. This video is him playing the notes to Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star on a steel drum app on his iPad. We taught him the notes only a couple times before this video and he's got it down pat.

WTG Zachary!! That is awesome! <3

I have a 21 month old son with Williams Syndrome (doesn't walk or talk and is drawn toward music as well). I will have to look into those apps.

@snlipio The app is called iSteelPan. I hope your little one loves it : )
