Comments “Ethan, you have great piano hands, technique, confidence, attention to detail and a great ear for nuances. Hand coordination of melody + accompaniment so wonderful. Hearing you play made my day.” James J. Judge of the National Guild of Piano teachers. “ I have never seen a 5 year old play like that. I have been a teacher of piano for a long time” – A private piano teacher. “I could not stop crying, from excitement, when I heard you play. The music was beautiful. I can not believe you are 5 years old. You played like you were 50.” – Luba G. “Every week I hear you play, you know more and more songs.. How can you possibly know all of them? By next year you will probably know over 1,000 songs..” Irene V. Other comments: click here
