Hope he gets to play in the dirt and climb trees sometimes

This may very well be his tree and dirt. He does not look forced into anything. Music is the heart of the soul! P.S. I don't play an instrument either but I love music. It is my coffee in the AM. Rock on Andy!

He is very mathematical...i hope its a hobby and he studies medicine and cures many diseases

He's 5 years old. True he does not display the musical maturity and expressive capabilities of an older pianist, but hmmmmm, methinks one day he will. I know many phenomenal musicians who learned subtler musical nuance later in life. I'm not stating as fact that he will as I have no idea how he is being taught, but judging this 5-year old as being "too mathematical" is akin to judging a baby tiger as being too trusting. Don't hate.

Sandmac- you're joking I assume. Surely nO one would critique a 5 year old's emotional interpretation. I'm a classically trained 30 year pro keyboardist and I think this is astounding.

Congrats to the parents who have identified Andy's gift at an early age, probably 3 or earlier. THEN they poured into him with wise instruction, an atmosphere conducive to learning and probably no TV. That's what can happen if parents get involved with their children. Work hard, Andy! from a Suzuki piano teacher in America

Yes, just like Tiger Woods whose father taught him to play golf maybe at the same age as this boy wonder began playing the piano. A great future in music is in store for Andy as it was for Tiger in golf. Play on Andy!

There's no proof that this is not some high end CGI either but I "choose" to believe that the little guy is real and I "choose" to believe that there is a supreme having an influence on who we are and where we are going. Let's not argue over the details because, as they say, "the Devil is in the details".

My grandfather was a concert pianist who taught music years ago. I saw with my own eyes a little Asian boy about that age play exactly like that. It was unbelievable and actually brought tears to my eyes. Talent like that is truly a gift from God!

Sometimes we use the word "talent" so much that we ignore the years, months, days, and hours of hard work. Sometimes "talent" lets we ourselves off the hook, stopping us from attempting difficult things, because "I don't have the TALENT."

The truly great thng about this tiny tot is that he absolutely loves what he is doing! There is no suggestion that this is 'fake' when you see the look on his face - pure joy and the love of his music. What a tiny genius - I hope to live long enough to see him thrive as an adult and visit Australia!

I can't help but think, isn't it a shame that these parents are only permitted to have one child.

It may be precisely the fact that they only have one child to lavish the kind of attention and focus on, that can help nurture this gift.

Have an almost 3year old granddaughter who really likes music and has lots of musicians in the family. Hope that this is going to encourage her. Folks are afraid to get her started too soon. This proves that it can happen.

LOL @ reincarnation, etc. These kids start at the age of 2 and practice their days away. At 5 hours per day over three years, that's 5475 hours of practice... My understanding is that 5 hours per day of practice would be very lenient. Read the book "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother."

Whatever these parents have done to encourage their child's talent it is obvious that he loves what he is doing! So, IMO they aren't over doing it. He has such a joyful personality!

John Doe - there you have it. God or no God, this is how other cultures often are. They really push and structure their child's education and talents from the start. Nothin like here in the USA. That's why we now rank from 37th to 50th in education the world, in math, the sciences, etc.

Reply Vote up (1)down (1)Spam?

Guest: Cliff Knight (121 days ago)

For Shammie, You lot are 37th to 50th in education in the world because you have gorgotten your founding fathers and for the past 30 odd years you have been trying with money and guns to reduce the rest of the world to the low standards you so obviously enjoy such as guns at schools, shootinf presidents trying as hard as you can to reduce the world to your style of democracy which is no democracy at all. Save your gun money, save the cost of inturion into other nation's lives and spend a bit on education.

Cliff - being an American, I agree with you completely - you are absolutely correct. As a nation, we were once great and proud, now we're simply corrupt and greedy. I give Andy my very best wishes on continuing to enjoy his music and education
