both held in Los Angeles, prior to her appearance on The Ellen Show. By 2012, she had won the Grand Prix at the Chopin International Competition in Hartford, <\/p>\n

Connecticut, as well as first place in competitions held in NYC, Budapest, Hungary, and Osaka, Japan. <\/p>\n

In the recent past, Umi Garrett has won first prize in the Juilliard School’s concerto competition (2020) <\/p>\n

Umi Garratt speaks English and Japanese fluently because of her family’s Japanese ancestry. Notably, <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

the 13-year-old Umi started a concert tour of northern Japan in 2013, which was hit hard by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011. <\/p>\n

2015 saw a return of the Kizuna Concert Tour, which featured performances for the impacted kids at four local primary schools. <\/p>\n

This speaks to her character and maintains the favorable impression she gave on The Ellen Show.<\/p>\n

Umi Garrett put out her first album at the age of nine, her second at twelve, and her third at eighteen. <\/p>\n

Ludwig van Beethoven’s complete Sonatas for Piano and Cello, which she co-wrote with cellist Emily Mantone, will soon be available.<\/p>\n

Umi Garrett concluded the 2022 academic year as a graduate of the esteemed Juilliard Music School.<\/p>\n

As I watch the endearing video of 8-year-old Umi Garrett performing her renditions of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star pieces, <\/p>\n

I can’t help but wonder what would happen if she moved into rock music. Her stage presence would rival that of Jimi Hendrix and Jerry Lee Lewis! <\/p>\n

It’s classical music’s gain over rock. Umi Garrett, a classical pianist, is no longer a young child prodigy. She is an emerging talent.<\/p>\n

The Ellen DeGeneres Show is home to moving talent, young and elderly alike. Ellen enjoys entertaining a diverse range of visitors, including common folks with amazing abilities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Umi Garrett, then nine years old, was no exception when she was asked to appear on the show in 2011 due to her extraordinary piano skills! <\/p>\n

The footage starts with Garrett storming onto the talk show stage, waving wildly and approaching Ellen to give her a bear hug.<\/p>\n

She speaks openly about her love of playing the piano, her large eyes shining out from her small frame and her charming grin.<\/p>\n

Umi acknowledges that she began learning to play the piano at the age of four and a half, when she enrolled in her preschool teacher’s after-school program.<\/p>\n

Garrett, who is eager to learn and play, acknowledges that her parents had to set \u2018piano rules\u2019 for her.<\/p>\n

Her parents had to arrange a pleasant routine for her because she is always eager to play and doesn’t like to disturb the neighbors! <\/p>\n

She confesses to Ellen that she loves music so much that she would play the piano all day and all night if she could.<\/p>\n

Garrett not only plays the piano beautifully for a nine-year-old, but she can also play tricks on it since she feels at ease there!<\/p>\n

She shows Ellen her incredible talent by guiding her to the piano.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Garrett walks over to the piano and presses the bench in.<\/p>\n

She plays a highly classical version of “Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star” on the piano with an innocent smile on her face\u2014backwards and without looking!<\/p>\n

The crowd joyfully claps her on. She continues by showing them another ruse. It’s the same tune as before, but reversed!<\/p>\n
