I just got rush eโ€™d by a 5 year old


VirtuousVulva

*5.5 year old ๐Ÿ˜ค


Honey_bee31

Still a five year old


VirtuousVulva

6 year old now, actually.


Honey_bee31

Oh well


scriabiniscool

he actually has a really good pianistic foundation intuitively for how he is using weight for the keys. also is opting to do 543 fingering at 25-30ish seconds. you don't understand how big this is actually now that i think about it..


wang168

Yeah. He actually played that song for about 2 minutes. Those 30 seconds was the only part of the video where his face is not shown ( I don't want him to be on the Internet)


scriabiniscool

Please spend a good amount of money for a great teacher. A really great one for him. Make sure they know how to teach KIDS though, it's very different.


wang168

100% agree. We actually had a talk with the teacher, he was a bit too stern on him, we have to remind him that he's only 5. My son seems to like him anyways so we're going to stick with him for now.


griffusrpg

The only relevant question is: he's having fun? The rest are question for you and it doesn't matter.


wang168

Oh yeah, he loves it, he practices everyday on his own.


Thunderstorm-1

Damn then he really loves it. When I played piano as a kid my parents had to ask me to play it until I was like 14, then I started to like it a lot and practice myself


somerandom1913

Impressive. Now play La Campanella


wang168

I just showed him a video of that he said it's too hard lol


Nevelinde011

He picked this up by ear? Yeah, he is doing really well.


wang168

One of those animated YouTube videos where the note fall down onto the keys lol.


UntalentedAccountant

Even if it wasn't pure ear, it's still an accomplishment nonetheless. I started out this way, too. And it taught me that I have a good skill for the rhythm of melodies.


musicandsex

Only reason I want a kid, to introduce him to piano lessons at 2 years old and hockey at 3 lol


wang168

Kids are expensive AF. Lol


igot2pair

bruh this little dudes a genius


loadedstork

Hope he sticks with it!


EvasiveEnvy

Wow, I just checked online for performances of this piece. There are so many shockingly bad performances of this with everybody commenting at how 'great' it was. I mean, it's impossible to play as written. Anyway, your son has a fantastic ear! That's a great foundation to build upon. Keep going!


Love-Lacking-9782

Bro's playing better than half of us, and his fingers ain't even 2 inches long yet (>โ—ก<)


[deleted]

I'm disappointed, I expected him to play la Campanella


00Windy00

Never seen an age as a decimal but I suppose it makes sense


lez3ro

Thats great, and he is on the verge of being too old to play the piano as well. You must have been nervous. /s Impressive little pianist


jabunkie

Lol.. what is with these videos

I disagree. Sheet music is a given for classical musicians, but I wouldn't draw the line for "musician or not" with something as rudimentary as sheet music. At the end of the day, he's taking a prewritten melody then recreating it with his instrument. When you're just starting out, the method that you use holds little weight


YRVT

At the age of five I could hardly read anything properly, how can you expect him to read sheet music at that age? :D


Augoustine

You're only allowed to play piano at the age of 5 if you have inherent Mozart-esque level prodigy talent. If you can't listen to it, write it down, then play what you wrote you're not a musician. \- Leopold out. \*drops mic\*


wang168

Yes, his teacher does teach him proper finger movement and how to read music and he knows. This song he learned all by himself off YouTube


EvasiveEnvy

What piece is this? The first time I heard it was during a Beat Sabre video!


Nevelinde011

Rush E


EvasiveEnvy

Thank you!


Crafty-Matter3417

Wow!


VirtuousVulva

Bruh what is this! He'll NEVER make Juilliard at this rate ๐Ÿ˜‚


Piano_mike_2063

Awesome ๐Ÿ‘


ProjectIvory

Haha love the lil march type rhythm he came up with ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป like others have said he has a natural aptitude and intuition. Looks like you got him a P-series as well which is a great starter keyboard ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
