Toward the end of the video, the host said the little girl would be given piano lessons. I hope that doesn't happen. When I was her age, but not blind, I had a similar talent that was tested many times. Experts and my parents decided to give me piano lessons and teach me to read music. BIG MISTAKE! From then on, all the fun was gone and I lost interest in playing and resisted my lessons for ten years. Let the child do what she naturally loves and don't destroy it. PLEASE Don't exploit her.---BBB

Her display on 'Star King', a Korean talent show, earned the youngster £500 in prize money and moved the studio audience to tears.

Perhaps. If these piano lessons consist of musicianship and theory skills, an argument could be made to leave the child to her natural talents. But a good piano teacher would also teach her physical technique, which could be indispensable if she wanted to pursue piano in the long term. The piano teacher I had for the first fifteen or so years of my life never taught technique, and as a result I've internalized some very bad habits that I simply can't correct anymore. There are lots of pieces I can't play simply because my fingers won't do what is physically necessary. It would be a shame to see the same happen to this girl.
