Today was my 6yo son's 5th piano lesson. He just learned all the names of the notes. On a whim while driving home, I asked him to tell me the notes that were playing on the radio. He sang the names of the notes in perfect pitch along with the song. My jaw dropped. He wasn't supposed to answer that question! I was kind of kidding around not expecting him to actually be able to do that.

We discovered, when he was 4, that he can repeat melodies of songs he's heard only once and identify a song after only hearing it once. Now, to repeat the notes after just learning them is truly mind boggling for me. I'm glad we are fueling his interest in music!
