‘Little Mozarts’: Two Kurdish kids in Germany amaze with their piano skills

Kurdish brothers Yad, 8, and Shad, 6 (living in Germany) started learning the piano two years ago from their dad. However, their skills are so good now that their friends refer to these kids as the “little Mozarts”.

“I realized they both had an ear for music so I started teaching them on a small keyboard…after five or six months they reached a level where they didn’t need me anymore. I bought them better instruments and tried to find a music school and a good teacher. Then, I contacted Für music academy. The kids did a placement test and were very successful,” says father Qalandar. Read more here.

12-year-old Indian Boy Plays Piano at Lightning Speed

There are several music fans who want to know who is the fastest piano or keyboard player in the world.  While speed alone is not really an indicator of a piano player’s musical genius, most accomplished players can move very fast on the keyboard,

12-year-old Lydian Nadhaswaram play from Chennai (India) left the audience in awe with his piano skills on the talent show ‘The World’s Best’. Nadhaswaram first played Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Flight of the Bumblebee at the suggested tempo, which impressed the judges. Then he played it faster, at 208 beats per minute, and then at 325 beats per minute.

Here’s the video of the performance.

 

Nadhaswaram’s first name Lydian is based on the Lydian Mode (the first mode of scale in music). Nadhaswaram also plays other instruments such as the guitar, mrudangam and tabla (Indian percussive instrument).

14 year-old aces the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) diploma in just 10 months

14-year old Brampton boy shows exceptional aptitude and attitude, aces the Royal Conservatory’s highest level piano exam after studying for only 10 months.

 

 

Those who can play the piano will tell you that its not the same playing on a digital keyboard, as opposed to playing on a good digital piano with real piano like keys.

That what happened to Brampton teen Bradley Snel, when he was gifted a digital piano by his parents.

“Three years ago, my grandmother gifted me a digital keyboard for Christmas which I taught myself to play. Then my parents got me an upright piano. The depth of the keys in the upright piano is very different from the digital one. Once I started, I just wanted to keep going”.

Snel loved the digital piano so much that he would practice on the piano for hours – he diligently practiced for six hours or more everyday.

As a result, Snel was able to ace the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) diploma in just 10 months; Most students take around 2.5 to 3 years to achieve this feat.

The teen is being tutored by Jarred Dunn – a Juilliard-trained pianist, working as a chamber musician/soloist – who has been teaching Snel for the past two years. Dunn imparts piano lessons (via Skype) to Bradley from his home in Rome.

Dunn, said he first heard Snel play a Mozart sonata that he had self-taught himself. That coupled with the youngster’s earnestness to learning music impressed him.

“Before our lessons (via Skype) Bradley works out his plan for a piece, scrupulously analyzing it interpretively and technically. His giftedness is an abnormality among preteens and it signalled to me that he probably had other capabilities that were uncommon. These include his tenacity for reading books of ambitious depth and learning multiple languages, as well as taking demanding music and school courses simultaneously.”

With Snel, Dunn uses the Taubman Approach (helps pianists hone their technique without causing injuries or strain), which he learned from the late Dorothy Taubman, a famed American teacher.

Eleven-year-old Mason Ramsey took the internet by storm when he broke out in a yodel among Walmart shoppers in Southern Illinois (Harrisburg, in Saline County). Wearing a red bow tie, cowboy boots and a belt with an oversized buckle, he sang Hank Williams’ “Lovesick Blues.” Ramsey also broke out into “Hey, Good Lookin'” in another Walmart store over a year ago.
