If you have a piano or a musical instrument in the house, it’s not uncommon for little children to want to “play.” They will walk up to the piano, climb onto the bench, and start banging away at the keys. Rarely does it resemble music and it’s more likely to sound like irritating noise. These kids might be musically talented, but they probably won’t find that out until a few years later.
But, there are always exceptions and while some children are learning preschool basics like tying their shoes, coloring, and following directions, one little girl is practicing her classical piano performance. At just three-years-old, little Charlotte looks just like any other girl her age. That is until she sits down at the piano and begins to play.
According to Baby Center, most piano teachers recommend that children start lessons around the age of five. However, there have been instances where children can begin learning the piano as young as three.
At just three-years-old, Charlotte is already a talented piano prodigy. She’s not playing basic scales or “Chopsticks” — she’s tackling pieces like “Allegretto in F” by J.C.F. Bach. It contains challenging chords and requires a depth of training and talent to perform.
It seems impossible that her tiny hands could even play the music, but she plays with exceptional skill way beyond her years. She hums along with the music and shows a connection to the song and the piece. If she’s already able to play at this level, just think of what she’ll be able to accomplish in a few more years! She’s well on her way to being one of the best pianists of her generation.
