Here’s an incredible video of a five year old blind girl from South Korea who is able to play piano by ear. After hearing any song just once or a couple of times, Yoo Ye Eun can recite it on the piano in her own unique way. Ye Eun has never received any form of coaching on the instrument, and her mother told the audience and judges that since young, the precocious tot has been able to master any song on her own. The amazing part of it all is that Yoo Ye Eun is blind. She can even play accompaniment to someone singing, and do it in the perfect key. Yoo Ye Eun might be blind, but she is very talented. She is fortunate to receive such warm applause and acceptance as well, since Korea society is known to be a little less accepting of the disabled.

Let’s hope that Yoo Ye Eun will be able to nurture her piano playing talents and become an accomplished musician in the future, all the while changing the Korean’s perception of the disabled.
