Amazing Ethan

Ethan was only 3 years old when he requested his parents to provide him with a piano along with the piano lesson for the first time. Then his parents refused because he was very young for that huge instrument.

He used to have a small keyboard. When his parents heard him playing the keyboard they were surprised and impressed.

It was really hard to believe them that their son in diapers can actually play so fine and later bought him a piano. Isn’t it amazing that a kid can actually play the piano even though his feet don’t reach the ground?

Eventually, at the age of five, he started composing songs. He even stated that his composed songs can be enjoyed by all ages and influence all generations.
