Being forced to play piano when you are a kid? Learning and mastering skills from childhood tends to have the highest rate of success

It's muscle memory. She's as much a master as a chef who cuts efficiently. If you played an instrument, you'd completely understand.

Practice

@Dolly Leema there is no such thing as god given talent. Yes some people are born with natural ability or tendency to learn, but those same people could squander their abilities if they chose the wrong path. Discipline and practice is key to mastering any thing.

Thank a good teacher. People should know that children that are not learning very well with someone doesn't always necessarily mean that the child is incapable of learning it's just that that teacher and that child may not be a good connection or that teacher is not a good teacher doesn't have the skills or the psychology to go into the mind of the child and see what they're learning method is so that they can apply it and teach them well.

Nah, I'm not a pianist, but more than that.

I couldn't agree more. I thought of quitting my studies to persue becoming a pianist. Guess studying is the way to go

yeah it did, self esteem destroyed

Right

Man does it- makes you feel embarrassed with your own playing - unbelievable

As a pianist myself I actually find it harder to concentrate when I have sheet music in front of me, I learn by ear and just memorize it and I find it much easier than sheet music

@@itsjustavibe6823 Shredder here, same, but I learn it with sheet music once Ive clocked it I can remember it and to have to read it takes you out of the concentration.

you HAVE to memorize so you can focus on playing. that's piano 101. you'll never see anyone bringing their sheet music into a performance or an exam room.

Agreed!

When you learn a song that difficult you don't have time to look at the sheet music and you have already memorized it. I play piano and play some pretty hard music (not near her level) and I never use sheet music

@Rintaro Okabe you misread their sentence

@Rintaro Okabe also, she isn't the only one.. it isn't every day u find a player like this, of course. but not the only one haha

Exactly ❤️ too often I worry about the psychological damage done to children pushed to extreme achievement by their parents, but this girl is obviously thoroughly loving it! I wish her happiness in her music for a long time to come!

Was about the post the same thing. You can tell she's really into it and it's wonderful to see.

@Rintaro Okabe Many childs can play like her :) But she's one of them

Well practice did bring her there. But you could tell she likes the piece enough to play it well.

Please don't promote the idea that practice could never achieve this. She's incredible, thanks to the many hours of hard work she has dedicated to the instrument she loves.

@@StuntDevil4218 That is not what I meant and also exactly what I meant. To play like this you need technical abilities and control that certainly take many hours of practice to achieve. The feeling and expression she puts in is not mere practice though. The difference between playing a piece and making it your own.

@@mathildewesendonck7225 wowww I did not even see that before!!! So cool!

@@mathildewesendonck7225 yes she does have huge hands - there is a clip somewhere where she shows them

Unfortunately it sounds like she did. The E octave in the beginning just sounds wrong but it's well redeemed in the following phrase

I am a performing classical organist. One of the reasons I switched from piano is that many of the manual reaches necessary to play the really big chords in a lot of major piano compositions were just too great for my relatively small hands. Some of the standard organ repertoire has fairly large chords, but for some reason I find them somewhat more manageable. Organs do tend to have smaller keys than pianos as well, and (usually) a lighter action.

@@sallylemon5835 I mean if she likes it, which you can clearly see she does, that pretty much means 8 hours of playtime everyday

This is not a talent, this is a whole lifetime of hard work.

@@MrPEWDER To be as good as her at that age, you have to train before you are old enough to know whoever you enjoy it or not. I don't doubt there is some inherent talent, but the main reason she can play so well is because her parents decided they wanted a piano prodigy and had enough musical knowhow, money, connections and lack of qualms to make it happen. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but most child prodigies do not grow up to be particularly balanced or well adjusted people. Somebody in another comment mentioned that this level of technical performance reminded her of gymnastics. While I don't for a second assume that all situations of child prodigies and strict, results focused parents areas extreme as this- I thought I made add some completely anecdotal evidence to explain my attitude towards this mentality. My sister knew a girl very well at secondary school who competed internationally for Gymnastics for her country before moving to the UK. I don't want to go in to specific details, not the least because I don't have the space to do it justice, but the gist is they the parents moved her from an (Outstanding, country wide famous) state school to a boarding school/selective grammar at 15 when she suggested she might want to quit. She and my sister lost touch for 2 years, but then met again when the girl was about to be released from a mental health inpatient unit and needed to stay at another friends house because she wanted nothing to do with her parents. I was always on the periphery of this, But my sister was completely in the thick of it and along with the other friend and to essentially care for her while she was in the throes of a mental breakdown. She is thankfully far better now and has even with friends encouragement made contact with her parents once more. But she was almost lost several times, and I myself at one point and to call an ambulance for her. According to my sister the parents believe they did nothing wrong and resent her friends for "turning her against them". they have actually written letters to a national newspaper (UK residents have a guess which one) complaining about the effect of "progressive teachers in the school system"- specifically the gymnastics coach who told her honestly about the effects it could have on her body later in life. I don't place the blame for this solely on the parents- our school, the grammar school, mental health professionals from the first time she was sectioned and a particularly narcissistic boyfriend could have done more. However, at the end of the day, especially living such a sheltered and controlled early life as her, it's pretty rich for the parents to attempt to shift the blame on to these things completely and act like they are the victims because she no longer trusts and obeys them.

@@sallylemon5835 that IS her playtime. Just because you were pursuing stupid shit doesn't mean every kid isn't smart.

It doesn't sound in the least bit weird. What does sound weird is your idea that you need to be a musician to appreciate it. Music-lover will do just fine.

You're right though. It probably helps that she's young enough to not have learned bad habits that even older, incredibly skilled musicians have.

​@@innawoodsman Agreed - and that she's had a good teacher. Gratifying anecdote from a couple of decades ago. My son went from lower to middle school, and stayed with his lower school violin teacher. The new school tried everything to get him to have lessons in school, but we insisted on sticking with the old one. One evening, my son was playing in a concert in the school orchestra, and the audience included a music-loving friend, and a respected upper strings teacher. The teacher said that my son was the only upper strings player who wasn't destined to develop repetitive strain injury.

Yep, and all she had to do was sacrifice her entire childhood along with any chance of having a normal life ever..

@@SineEyed I don't think she could be as good as she is if she didn't want to do it, and wasn't passionate about it. Ask her if she feels it was a sacrifice; and maybe ask her again in ten or twenty years time. Ask her if she doesn't find time to do normal child things, and she ever in a million years thought of doing anything else with her life.

ok but think of it like this - 1 years practice is probably 5+ years for an adult in terms of brain function and quick learning. So a couple of years of dedicated practice for a child is huge. Tiger Woods was on television golfing at the age of TWO..

I just hope she sometimes gets to run around outside and swim in a lake and stuff

That usually means she practices all the time, which isn’t usually a good sign unless shes doing it of her initiative

@@scottycranmer8548 children's brain develop the most till about age 7 or I think! they soak up so much knowledge. that's why it's so much easier for a kid to be taught multiple languages than an adult.

It’s ok, her parents are just beating her at home if she doesn’t get the third measure exactly right /s

this is the talent that is embraced and confidently shown when children are not told to restrict themselves fr. don't control, just let be.

@Dev Guy I doubt you know anything more about her than we do. Watching a kid be good at something that you sucked at when you where that age allways gives the impression that the kid was forced to do it. In the mind of the observer it cannot possibly be that a kid actually likes to play piano, therefor she must be forced by evil parents. I know nothing about this girl and I am *NOT* insinuating that she is autistic, I'm jsut making an example here: I do know a lot of kids with verying degreeds of autism and most of them have one or two things they like above anything else, and they can excell at them way beyond what adults can do. Yes you can try to get them to do something that "normal" kids would do, but they genuinly don't like that, or at least not for more than an hour or so. Some kids play in the sand, other kids play piano. Deal with it.

You mean everyone who forced her to practise 25 hours every day? Children dont just naturally learn instruments like that, even if they are talented.

I suspect the blossoming took a lot of borderline abuse, if only because this skill was 100% at the cost of social isolation.

I'm not sure why the singing is being highlighted again and again A LOT of pianists sing its not that uncommon, remembering notes, the progression and movement all of that is taught in these ways . . .

@@prashantd6252 not during performances

On the level she is performing, you do not ‚memorize‘ the notes, you walk through the piece like you take a walk on a well known path through a park where you know every tree or bush. The music goes right from your brain (or heart - whatever you like better) to your fingers without the detour through your mind. That is the only way to play that fast with such passion, to become one with the music.

No, it is not her memory that is impressive. Hundreds of thousands of kids her age have no difficulty remembering such music. What is impressive - remarkable - is her technique and, especially, her musicality, i.e. the interpretative/expressive quality of her performance.

Small joints need less movement, but I agree, it is pretty amazing. Tbf, you could probably catch falling food though if you knew where and when it was going to fall!

Yes, you need to use the force of your arm. You cannot play like this just by using your fingers/hand force. With proper technique it should not tire you out.

Especially on really nice pianos where they design it for the dynamics to have much more range. Like on a cheap piano the keys are much easier to press and the dynamics end up sounding pretty similar but if you want range the keys take a lot more force

omggg i thought it was easy😭

The trick is to drop (yes drop, not press) your arm weight through the finger(s) into the exact keys you want (at the time you want, with the speed you want too (loudness)). This takes coordination and control, but not actually much strength. Standard downweight for a single key is just 50g.

@@musicOrator That’s all nice and dandy, but what if you need to “drop”25 notes per second, then what?

Yeah when I came out the womb I decided I would start playing Beethoven symphonies because I clearly was not forced to think that right?

@@callingoutthebs idk. All I can say is when I was two all I wanted was the play the piano. I still don’t even know how I knew what a piano was. I think I must have seen Ray Charles as a little girl and thought he was amazing. So my single mother did what she could to find someone would was willing to teach piano to a two year old. Unfortunately, she moved away not long after my lessons began. I remained obsessed with piano my entire life up until I realized it was too late for me to foster that type of playing that I could have learned had I the opportunity to stick with it the way I dreamed from the beginning. When I look at this young girl, I don’t see that she has been beaten or forced. She doesn’t look stressed or troubled. She looks free. She looks to be enjoying herself fully on a level that I only hoped to even achieve. At one point she even looks to be singing, and bouncing with joy. I maybe wrong, and if I am I hope her torture ends soon. But I just don’t see it. She is a prodigy. And simply marvelous. I truly hope she is loving every minute of what she gives back to the world.

@@eleven9286 😂😂😂😂😂😂 KZfaq comments be saying the dumbest shit

💯 agree. When I was performing by the time I got off stage I felt like I had done two full body workouts and was physically and mentally drained. You then have to go through all the same steps to recover from a workout (ie drink fluids, healthy food and good night sleep) It was the hardest things I did and I absolutely loved it. There is nothing better than feeling the audience’s energy.

@@eleven9286 Playing music is gymnastics... Making music on the other hand

Not to mention knowing how to give the notes the different accents or volume as notated by the sheet music. She is extremely talented, I just hope she isnt being pushed to her extremes this young and is still able to have and enjoy her childhood, too.
