My Son Playing The Piano...(Self Taught)

[Mike T]

Thought I'd share this with you guys. My 16 year took interest in music about 3 years ago and has taught himself to play the piano and guitar by watching YouTube and reading.

He does not know how to read music yet but to have never had a lesson he seems to be doing ok.

"Seems to be doing ok." Dude , you got to be effing kidding me. THAT was freakn' *awesome*! That young man has talent! All I have to say is WOW ! I can tell he plays with his heart.
I put the headphones on, laid on the couch and listened to it three times. Very relaxing.
Here in Cincinnati, we have a school for kids like him called CCM , Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. I hope he pursues an education like that.

The way his hands move he's a natural.

Congrats.

I recognized that as well and call it 'the gift'.

Thank you for sharing Mike, you must be very proud.

Thanks guys. I am very proud of him because he's been very tenacious in getting this far and went way outside of his comfort zone in creating this video. It was uploaded at the request of his HS teacher as a part of an extra credit exercise.

Talented kid. I played drums in school. I was always first chair, but really never "had it" so to speak. Kids like that have special talent. Now, just keep him away from the knucklehead music folks.

Turn/tune him on to 'Let it Be'.
