Kid PlaysThe Best Jingle Bells EVER!

[@jacquelinefidler4255]

So nice to see young musicians showcasing their "true" talents...hopefully we can see more of this!!

[@caitlinwells8132]

Yes really!!

[@ImPrettySureImCool]

theres a difference between “talent” and hard work, this kid might just be naturally skilled but most likely he just loves to play the piano and practices a lot.

[@christianquirion526]

Why did you put quotation marks on the word true?

[@jacquelinefidler4255]

@@christianquirion526 With today's technology a large portion of the music we hear is altered/infiltrated with unnatural sounds which in my opinion takes the trueness out of it...this young man sat down and played one piece in its entirety on one instrument using only his ability and talent...without being distracted by the crowd that gathered or by the gentleman who joined in and he never missed a beat....to me that's "true".

Thinking he might be their piano teacher and he takes them out to expose them to playing in public. Kid is amazing.

[@MrYfrank14]

The guy that jumps in is a concert pianist that likes to disguise himself and hang around public pianos. Sometimes he acts like he can't play to get a stranger involved. Sometimes he teaches somebody something, sometimes he shows someone that can play a song how to change it to make it jazzier. And sometimes he joins in, like this video.

[@SumChange]

When he went from tapping his foot on the floor to the chain to make a tambourine-ish sound that was the moment I knew this kid is full of music in his soul. Awesome!

[@jimmurphy4703]

jj smith it’s called jamming ! And the kid loved it ! Ffs lighten up for the rest of the year !

[@JamesLewis]

@jj smith I think if you watch some of Olivier's videos, and Dr. K's as well... you will see that they know each other, as Brendan has been encouraging him for some time... please consider that there comes a point where it stops being about a child showing off their growing musical ability, and starts being about learning to play with others... IMO, it's actually a great vote of confidence in Olivier, that Brendan thought he could join in like that without throwing him off. I can see how in isolation it might appear a bit strange, but it's pretty much the norm here.

All a wonderful part of the "magic". Many of his posts show unaffected, unimpressed, unappreciative, dead to the world people trudging by, completely oblivious to his efforts to bring immense joy to the world... I feel truly sorry for them... They cannot feel real joy & are unable to plug in to the happiness gifted to them by Brendan, if only they would accept that gift. Many of them appear dazed, senseless & miserable. It seems as though many such people are taking control of this world right now & if they succeed, their "fun police" are likely to make it impossible for us to see Brendan those he lures in puttlng on these wonderful impromptu demonstations of amazing talent.

[@wendymathews1030]

I took piano lessons for 5 years when I was a kid, and I NEVER could do anything even remotely close to what he can do! I wasn’t even in the same universe! This goes beyond teaching someone to read music and then to play the notes on it. What he has, you can’t teach! Bravo young man, you are incredible!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jhcofd6655]

You probably could have been taught for 15 years and not be in the same ballpark, it just is about the amount of time spent at the piano, lessons aren't the teaching part, it's on you to learn but most teachers are to help perfect pieces and learn theory, I'm going on 12 years and can sorta do this but not really well. Stay safe!

[@itzrainbowdragon1915]

It depends on the type of instructor you had. This kid had a jazz pianist instructor. This is the jazz version of jingle bells. I was taught by a gospel pianist but I play by ear. My style still leans towards gospel. That being said I learned piano for 13 years and still can’t play jazz. Has as much to do with level, as it has to do with style. Jazz and classical are my favorites but I can’t play them well due to lack of training in that area.

[@wendymathews1030]

@@itzrainbowdragon1915 wow, you took lessons for a long time, that is so awesome! I bet you’re really good! It’s one of those things in life that I wish I could go back and do over again; I’d work harder and take lessons longer. I haven’t played in so long, I don’t think I could do it anymore.

[@itzrainbowdragon1915]
