Pianist becomes World's youngest music graduate
- 5 years ago
Curtis Elton started learning the piano at the age of just three and could read music by the time he was four.
The youngster, who has been dubbed Mini Mozart, was the youngest person in the world to pass a piano exam equivalent to the first year of university when he was nine. And two years on he has 'graduated' with an LTCL (Licentiate of Trinity College London) qualification in piano playing - equivalent to the final year of an undergraduate degree.
Curtis practiced for around two hours a day to perfect a challenging 37 minute programme - most from memory - to perform for the examiners.
