When Bill Magnusson, a piano tuner, learned about 11-year old Jude Kofi's amazing ability to play the piano without ever having received a single lesson, he had to know more. Jude can play any piece of music immediately after listening to it! He was never taught to play; he just picked up a keyboard and played it. After hearing this autistic child prodigy play the piano with what he describes as "Mozart level talent" and finding out that the boy's family didn't have the resources to cultivate Jude's talent, Magnusson was moved to use his inheritance to pay $15,000 to buy Jude a baby grand piano! He is also paying for the the autistic boy to get piano lessons and has offered to tune the piano regularly for life. You can hear more on this story and see this child's amazing talent in the video below:
