Piano star – level 2
16-08-2021 07:00
Brigitte Xie is a four-year-old girl, and she can play the piano very well.
Brigitte started piano lessons on Zoom about a year ago during the lockdown. When her father signed her up, he did not think that Brigitte would be so good at playing the piano.
Brigitte first met her piano teacher when she was three years and two months old. The teacher saw that the little girl was very interested in playing, and she wanted to learn more and more. Brigitte learned to read music, and she even learned to play a piece of classical music from Beethoven.
Brigitte became the youngest winner of the Elite International Music Competition. It gave her the chance to play at Carnegie Hall in New York as a part of a talent competition. The date of the event changed to November 2022 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Difficult words: lockdown (the time when people cannot go to some places because it is not safe), sign up (to put someone’s name on a list in order to join something), classical music (music from the 18th and 19th century).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
