piano prodigy

Young musical genius

A piano prodigy is a child who displays exceptional musical talent at the keyboard, performing at a level far beyond what's typical for their age.

The term carries connotations of innate genius rather than mere practice: Mozart was history's most famous piano prodigy.

Most piano prodigies begin performing publicly before age ten.
