Umi Garrett is fluent in both English and Japanese. Umi has been recognised by many experts as a child prodigy.Umi played Liszt's note-dazzling "Dance of the Gnomes" ("Gnomenreigen"), showing her ability to compete with most any touring adult (she plays this piece on YouTube at age 8!) Her only age-related limitation was that she possessed a limited dynamic range. But in a few years, she'll be able play as soft or as loud as anybody, with larger hands and longer arms. Having a talent this great this early, one wonders just where her abilities as an adult will take her.Now Umi is just a master of the piano!
