Moreover, Magnusson got Kofie a piano teacher called Mr. Sullivan. He is from the same hometown as Kofie and they have been bonding well. "He's so eager," Sullivan told the station. "He's so hungry to learn more. "The ripple effects for the next 70 or 80 years are incalculable," Magnusson said. "It's not just for him. It's for all the people he's going to touch."

Talking about the prodigy, a 5-year-old Alberto Cartucccia Cingolan, in Italy, stunned his audience with a rendition of Piano Sonata No. 16 in C major composed by Mozart. The performance was posted on Twitter and has more than 5 million views. Alberto was introduced to the piano when he was just 3 years old. He started with simple practice lasting 10 minutes long and has now become a piano prodigy, as reported by MyModernMet.
The child’s mother is a singing instructor and the father works as a teacher in the Lombardy region. When they first introduced Alberto to the piano, they saw his natural affinity to the piano. He is still learning to read music but has the ability to identify and recreate any musical note.
Alberto's mother Alessia Cingolani said, "He started playing during the months of the first lockdown.” "I was always at home, so we started playing with a small keyboard, in order to do something stimulating. From there I realized that Alberto was well-suited. [Doing this, my] husband and I noticed that he had perfect pitch. For a year and a half now, [Alberto] has been doing remarkable things, both for his age and for the time it took him to learn. Even though he still doesn't know how to read [music] notes well, indeed almost not at all, he takes his position on the keyboard and repeats the pieces. He is very instinctive."
