A 9-year-old piano prodigy is capturing hearts online — and it’s easy to see why.

Alexander Zhou began playing the piano at just 5 years old. When asked if learning the instrument was easy, his answer was refreshingly honest.

“At first it was just some random notes,” Alexander said. “But then I got slowly more into piano, and then my fingers just flew across the keyboard.”

Now, his performances are going viral, with viewers amazed not just by his technical skill, but by the emotion he brings to every note. Alexander says his favorite part about playing piano is that it allows him to truly “express your emotions.”
