Re: The amazing stuff thread.
She seems to be very talented, but I hope she does it because she loves it and hasn't been pushed into it too much by her parents and vested interests. She seems too young to be having record deals and things like that. More than a coincidence that all the other kids are exceptional with instruments too. I sense a pushy 'Ooh look at my child! I didn't lock her away with a piano 12 hours a day! It's all.....my gosh.....so amazing!' Likewise, there are many piano schools out here with every Tom, Dick and Harry wanting to be the new Chopin, but I feel sorry for some of the young ones as the parents are just pushing to keep up with the neighbors. If she loves the piano, it is lovely, but I question her parents not wanting to shield her from excessive attention.
