Real, human education. I was a teacher for 41 years and slowly became disillusioned with our way of imparting enthusiasm and knowledge to the next generation. You have showed us a beautiful version of how it can be done. Thank you.

[@mopo3932]

YESSSS! ❤

Not only can Emilie play piano and sing at the same time (not easy to do) but this young girl is quite the creative artist > kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKeYeHmqac2kjNk

[@rickyanthony]

Sorry to question (or not haha) but what was wrong with what you saw with the way we do education?

[@TFx2TV]

@@rickyanthony I would guess he means the difference between teaching a class full of people you have no connection with in comparison to teaching one person you have a deep connection with.

[@jasonfrost2487]

I'm an old man who has loved the piano all my life. This little girl has changed the title of this song in my heart. From now on I'll remember it as "Emilie's Song"... so heartrendingly beautiful.

[@robdobson5056]

She grew up to be a beautiful talented little girl! Just reinforces how important parents are in raising a good human being!

[@Fluffy2Buffy]

My father used to teach my sister and I Piano. My sister would also sing on his lap. He passed when we’re still young, I am now a 30 year old man trying not to just start balling my eyes out. What a beautiful moment you captured. ❤

Wow absolutely brilliant. Especially loved the second segment of the video where your daughter is trying to capture the shape of the music with her hands, that was a magic moment. Thanks for sharing this special treasure with us all.

I am sitting here at 1:54 in the morning with tears running down my face. What a privilege to have such a daddy, and what a blessing to have such a beautiful child... The two of you (and your sweet wife) have what we all should have. I just adore Emily. Good work, Mom and Dad. Simply beautiful.

[@WobblyBiped]

Paul, your face has the smile of an incredibly proud father, as you should be with a daughter like Emilie. Thank you for sharing her with us.

[@divinecomedy0]

This really moved me. Thank you, Paul. What a beautiful gift music is. Your daughter has now spread her wings. 🕊 🎵 💞

Emillie is absolutely enchanting throughout!

[@Anticrystal88]

The way she looks at her daddy, you can just see she adores him.

[@mortalclown3812]

Paul, my great-aunt was best friends with Johnny Mercer. From what Aunt Estelle said about him, I know he'd be over the Moon watching this. Blessings and many thanks for this particular rendition.

[@judihopewell2499]

Absolutely darling. Teaching children music is such an investment.

[@saloh7124]

Beautiful lovely journey of a father nurturing his daughter to enjoy Moon River over 7 years. Priceless !!

[@amandabari2948]

A master pianist in the making. Following her father's footsteps. And from what I've seen, her mother is just as musically talented at singing. She really got the best of both worlds. She will grow to be an excellent musician (though she is already)! Much love from Sydney, Australia 2022.

[@gregoryyoung8823]

Not just an excellent musician, as in playing all the right notes, but with such expressiveness, emotion, dynamics, nuances, feeling and interpreting the music so well. Amazing for anyone, let alone a 7 year old girl. And she can't even reach the pedals yet! Outstanding job of parenting, teaching, and performing, Paul. You're awesome.

[@baptistnurse]

You can tell by the look on each of their faces ... when they look at each other ... that they are truly Huckleberry Friends. What a heavenly daddy-daughter bond.

[@p.k.h.8660]

This video shows only tiny snippets of the lives of these two. But it is very touching for me to witness the development, especially of the child. This little time travel is a convincing proof of what loving, caring and strengthening support of a child can do. Both give so much to each other, which nothing material could ever compensate for. Such affirming experiences are formative, for a lifetime. And now let us imagine this on a global scale. Appreciation would be the currency, not egoism. What could grow out of it .

[@cindicopeland9731]

Truth.

[@itsonlyme9938]

The child when she grows up will forever cherish the moment she sat on here fathers lap playing the piano and when she hears Moon river being played the memories will come flooding back.

[@MarkWick]

This is wonderful. What a gift Emilie has been given over these years. The gift of music will stay with her her whole life.

[@samferguson7061]

Beautiful so beautiful.....She plays so well nearly as good as Dad.

[@arizonaskies6607]

So lovely watching this! My mother passed over 50 years ago when I was just 14, but I remember singing around the piano while she played Moon River and other songs. Brings back wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing!

[@nancyjones3337]

This brought tears to me as well. I'm a Top Fan of Emilie. Stay sweet and talented, teaching others the same. This will bring love and Light to Our Planet. 💕 💞 ♥ 💜 💙

[@RaymondLohengrin]

You have given your daughter a tremendous gift. I just saw her video playing for Sharky. Her gift touches people, it changes lives and it makes the world a better place. I have watched that video several times and it touches me every time. Music is a very powerful and wonderful thing 🙏

[@neiltheblaze]

Somebody's peeling onions.... That' little girl is going to have such beautiful memories and feel such a connection to music. What a wonderful gift!

[@juliakayduerler]

I cried at the love this father has for his child. It is precious, tender, and mutual. He loves with intention. He wants her to soar, yet leads her gently and patiently. I see it as an earthly example of our Heavenly Father’s heart for us. My husband loved our daughter with this kind of love. ❤️ @She_Had_No_Regrets

[@hestergreen2031]

Oh yes. Such a wonderful bond

[@chrissiewindsor]

The relationship between father & daughter, if one is lucky enough to have a good Dad, is a very special, very loving one. My Dad used to say I was like a wart on his bum, every time he turned around, there I was! Mind you, Dad was a great DIY man & a terrific singer, so I learned so much! Dad used to say I’d outdone him when, during a terrible storm, we lost some slates off out roof, none of my brothers could handle it, Dad either, so I did it, with a few telephone tips from Dad’s pal. Boy, was I lucky! Mum was a great teacher in the house too. Both worked at least two jobs too. I think the reason my marriages (2) failed it was because other men couldn’t even climb on to the pedestal i’d put my Daddy on.

[@funshine817]

Emilie is an angel in a human body. She is extraordinary in every way. Her parents are raising her brilliantly. What a special family.

Great parenting. A true gift to a beautiful and capable little girl. I wish I had passed on more to my children. I didn’t know how.

[@mopo3932]

FASCINATING. Thank you for compiling this. I found especially interesting the second phase (after babyhood) when Emilie created shapes in the air with her hands - as if the music formed images that she saw and felt. I remember an earlier video in which Emilie would go to the piano on her own volition (I think when she first woke up), strike a key on the piano, and then create a shape in the air. Your entire family is so kind and so gloriously talented. Thank you for this channel. It is a haven amid a brutal world.
