This stuff that an 8yo is playing is not easy ie she is fast & accurate with good timing & technique. I wished I started playing as a youngster....oops I did but gave it away for around 50 years

Like you said, she'll be awesome if she practices 5 hours everyday for the next 30 years, heh.

What's this song called she's playing?

This young lady is a splendid example of what I've said many times and for the most part I got the horse laugh from the "experts".
Some have got it as a natural gift and some don't...those that don't may as well learn to live with it.

I think that was fantastic. Another Rachelle Plas in the making.

I'd love to hear Brendan Power's thoughts on this.

@RyanMortos
I understand it is a traditional Irish Fiddle Tune in D Major called 'Haste to the Wedding'. Also I think if she has come this far in 6 months where will she be as a player in 10 years? I certainly hope she stays interested in the harp.

@Stevelegh
It would be interesting to hear Brendans view of her playing.

@harpdude
yes I noted her breathing technique as good.

Having a look at the Youtube site there is also a video of her playing piano extremely well for a youngster. I would take a guess that she probably comes from a musically talented family and got her very first music lessons whilst still in her mums tummy?
