Marc Yu—Eight Year Old Pianist
On a recent airing of
The Ellen DeGeneres Show, one of Ellen's guests was the remarkable eight-year-old pianist and music prodigy Marc Yu.
What a wonderfully talented and entertaining young person! Marc told Ellen a clever joke that went something like this:
"Ghandi always walked barefoot and so he had many callouses on his feet. He also ate very little and so was extremely thin and frail. His poor eating habits gave him very bad breath...making him a 'super-calloused-fragile-mystic-hexed-by-halitosis'!"
CUTE! About Marc Yu from MarcYu.org:
"I am...a very dedicated musician. I love listening to music closely, and I love practicing carefully. Between piano and cello, I often practice up to 5 to 6 hours a day, even more when my mother lets me. Although I enjoy my other school studies, I become impatient when I can't return regularly, as I expected, to music. I am always very excited when I get to learn a new piece. My life is centered around music.
"Many prominent musicians and composers -- like Schubert and Brahms (and the famous pianist, Lang Lang, my idol!) -- have had difficulties on their way to becoming great musicians. But because they did not give up, they succeeded. I hope my own difficulties will not be too great. I hope to contribute to people by making music. Making people happy by playing music for them is a nice way to serve the world." —Marc Yu
Marc Doldo Yu was born on January 5th, 1999 in Pasadena, CA.
