We learn to speak before we learn to read. We learn the complexities of language before we learn anything about tense, gender, or conjugation. This kid "speaks" music. Learning to read will only improve his understanding of the language and allow him to become a greater musician. Outstanding!!!
As a music educator, I can NOT STRESS ENOUGH how important this step is for you, Jayden. At this juncture, learn everything now - while your mind is fresh. Too many church musicians give up on reading because they are LAZY and do not want to read. I am SO HAPPY that your mom is pushing you to learn to read. When you become a teenager, you will be able to walk into any church and name your price because you will have both the abilities to read what is in front of you AND to play what you hear!
I agree with you 100% but you got to tell the teacher that she need to focus ONLY on teaching him how to read and not waste her time on other stuff because I think he got the other stuff down packed, Let's be honest-this little boy is extremely talented and I think he's better than the teacher in this video in my opinion!!!
LAZY? I can read music but I can't play by ear so to call someone lazy because they can't grasp everything is insulting. I've found musicians who play by ear get more gigs because a note player can't play everything. I'd rather play by ear if I had a choice.
@@lindafreeplayqueen I play the piano by ear and can't read a lick of piano sheet music. However, I wish I could read piano music to enhance my chord vocabulary. But, every church gig I got came from me playing basic chords by the ear. And I live in Mississippi. And I play the majority of songs in MAJOR chords only.
If i was his teacher and he walked in playing that I would be like, "...dang... I'm glad i know how to READ music. At least I got that...." To be that young and be that fluent in mature gospel movements, didn't take a genius to realize the kid would be a monster 5 yrs later
@@stilesculp73 I agree with you 100% but you got to realize that boy is extremely talented, but people got to realize that the teacher should be focused ONLY on teaching him how to read, the teacher should not waste her time on other stuff besides teaching him how to read music!
I'm just glad to see that Jayden is not settling for playing by ear, but is actually taking time to learn how to read music as well. That is what will set you apart from most musicians.
Brent Foster I love your comment, THATS ACTUALLY what I tell pianist, who think there shit don't stank!!!! And beside most the people who strictly read sucks, they play with no flavor!!
I am just overwhelmed...my heart is so touched! Dianna, I'm so pleased that you are taking this step. Jayden is so advanced and skilled already. I trust the Lord Mrs. Robinson will provide that source of understanding why he does what he does / theory / creativity.. to uncover this genius. God richly bless you all.
I must say that I am amazed by your sons talent. I love seeing young ppl use their gift for God. Keep it up n I agree with cvau32 keep us posted I'm at work cracking up at the teachers response LOL
I love this vid. I was tinkling the keys when I was 12. I am now 30 and I am amazed on how good Jayden sounds to be playing by ear at 12!. Keep it up and man, wait till he is able to really spread those fingers. Jayden just gave me extra motivation. Playing by ear is great but it is good to learn how to read and know the keys. God Bless
I learned 1st by ear and then study Classical Piano in college. Doing this isthe best thing you can do for him he is going to go far.. He will never be limited..
Keep up the good work! God has blessed you with a gift! Use it for His glory and He will continuously bless you! Can't wait to see you in a few years and how much more of a beast you will b eon piano and organ!
its amazing, to do both, i play by ear but i also took formal lessons for years in classical music but got the big head and thought i didnt need them. i took lessons for 11 years and its been 10 years since i have sat down and read music. needless to say i can no longer read. i make great money playing by ear but if only i was a double combo reading music, hopefully he sticks qith it.
Ditto on what James Mayo expressed! As a music instructor as well, I highly encourage you to learn both sight and ear as doors will continue to open and the way you play "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" is bringing tears to my eyes! I love it! God Bless and Keep You and may His face continue to shine upon you Jayden!
no question...Hayden is very mature musically for his age, but he needs to understand what he's doing too. I've dealt with too many musicians that never learned to read, and inevitably they hit a brick wall, and that's as far as they can go. Jayden is 16 now, and he's playing amazingly well....far better than I'll ever be able to play, and I've got him by 40 years.
The great thing here is that Jayden has a foundation of chord progression. Having structured lessons are indeed useful (though I imagine this might become tiresome if the talent does not match his). An important question is what does Jayden want to do with his talent. Another is which direction does his parents desire to see his talent blossom? After learning some technical music language, he could easily be directing a band. Its great to see this gift in someone so young.
I agree with you 100%, I just think the teacher needs to be focused ONLY on teaching him how to read and not focus on anything else, I think she will waste her time in terms of her focusing all other stuff!, in other words- he is extremely talented!
Congratulations to his parents! Thank you for being responsible!!! Playing by ear is great, but don't be fooled, the day will come when playing by ear won't be an option. I play by ear, any I read. Please remember this: Jayden won't lost gigs because he can read music, but he may lose a gig if he can't.
She better get ready to learn something too! That's one thing I wish I did...I had teachers, but I didn't have anyone to really push me. And I'm crippled for it today. The ear is great...but an ear with theory and understanding...so much better. Keep it up lil' man...
Good stuff. My son just turned 12 he wants to meet and play with Jayden. He is a drummer. I took him to have lessons and I was told they cant teach him how to play only to read music. His teacher had the same expression as Jaydens. How hard was I laughing? Very hard on the inside. When a teacher says I cant play like that What do you do? Awesome to see.
@Diannafaith I love this jayden just took the piano teacher to SCHOOL lol the video was why to short,keep us posted on his lessons PLEASE I'll be waiting thanks.
@coleyesther Jayden is VERY gifted, but learning to read music will only enhance his God-Given gifts. Reading music , along with his gift will give him limitless possibilities because he will not only play what he hears, but he will be able to play everything he sees, too!!!
Being able to read music is even more assurance and insurance for him in being able to cover all aspects of music. Some times one will not have a chance to hear something first in order to play it. If u r in a situation where some one brings u sheet music to be played on the spot and a lot of jobs criteria is that one be able to sight read, as they say ''two heads under the hat is better than one'' for the more you know the more you can profit, for one can never be to educated on any subject.
shadhom I disagree with everything you said, first of all why put yourself in a dumbest situation like that if u cant read music, and second you always learn frome people and people always gonna judge you, so don't sit there and say nobody can't tell you nothing, unless u famous shut the fuck up
Will have to agree and at the same time disagree. Learning to read is important and it will get him respect to a degree but this kid will go places regardless of what musical path he takes. When its all said and done, you have to be able to throw down. This kid does just that. Look at the teachers reaction. She first shook her head in disbelief, then she nodded with approval. This kid speaks everyones language. The ability to do that will not come from sheet music.
I think it's safe to say that after he finished ministering and the camera was off she came to him like Jesus and said what must I do to learn to play.....
Not knocking learning to read cause I know its beneficial plus a time saver..I feel though God will make possible to do,his will for us to do.Regardless of our level of understanding
i pray for this young child of God. The entertainment world has a lot of our children but i rebuke the devil's hands on this one. Keep Playing Jayden. The Lord will take you to higher powers. Remember David was only a little boy playing the harp. and by the way, parents don't always bring him to big time churches that offer big time money but find a lot of the smaller local churches that need encouragement.
I just think she needs to be focused only on teaching him how to read!, she don't need to waste her time on nothing else besides teaching him how to read music in my opinion!
@@chadaustin4339 yeah! When i went for lessons, my instructor laughed and said Terrance why do you need me lol I said to read. I can play what I’m hearing but I want MORE! $50 gigs ain’t feeding the family lol I need $800 a week with credentials lol is that too much to ask for
True statement.... When I was 7or 8 years old and the Michael Keaton, Kim basinger version of Batman Came out with Jack Nicholson as the jocker. Prince scored the movie. Does anyone remember scandalous?? I remember getting a keyboard that Christmas and trying to learn the them song on the strings mode. It just came to me out of the sky like a gift from God. It's like my fingers already knew where to go. I was amazed myself even though I was playing it. I never looked back and the more I played the more complicated sequences I was able to play. But to become chic corea, art Tatum, Herbie Hancock and the greatest of all time oscar Peterson it not only takes the gift but countless hours of practice. You can't have the gift and not practice as well as you can practice until you turn blue in the face if you don't have the gift you're just waiting time hoping and wishing 😬🙏 it's Strickly God given go pray about it 😁
I disagree! I don't play any instrument but it would be nice that he get some music training, not that he doesn't play well now, but I heard him say he wanted to learn classical music. It will help him, and that's not putting him down, he will progress with or without training, but he will be able to do all music and do it well.
I just think the main focus right now is him to learn to read music!, I think he do not need extra training because the boy is extremely talented and I think he's 10 times better than the teacher, I think he do not need extra training besides learning how to read music!, I'm telling you based on experience because I'm a musician myself and I have over 30 years of playing piano experience and I just think reading music ONLY is the best option or the best decision in this case!!!
LOL @ the teacher...you can tell by the way she was talking in the beginning that she really didn't think he could play. If she only knew.... Well, I guess she knows now! LOL
There are a lot of boys like Jaden especially myself who been exposed to music especially around the church who can just pick up things and then replay it back on the piano or the organ to me that is one of God's greatest gift to give to a parent a child who is gifted and talented at listening and playing music but I'm proud of him for taking the initiative to learn how to read it and possibly write it as well
The look on his face at the end is like are you serious? Don't take a kid like that to just any teacher. He needs a master, someone who can stretch him. If he wants to read music he should be at a conservatory, or otherwise under a gospel or jazz master. He could easily audition into a program and get scholarships to learn for free.
I agree with you 100%, I'm a musician myself and I can tell that this little boy is 10 times better than the teacher!, only thing he needs to learn how to do is to read music and that's it, I think a music teacher will waste their time in terms of focusing on other stuff!, I just think the main focus is to teach them how to read ONLY!!!
Yeah... it doesn't matter how good you are by ear, when you get around some pros they will challenge your theory every time and discount you when they put charts in front of you no matter how good of a natural talent you are.. if you can't read. Unless you know the chart and I mean cleanly, you better know how to read.
She can teach him how to read, but that's the only thing she can do, this little boy is 10 times better than the teacher!, I think this woman is wasting her time with this boy in terms of teaching them how to do other stuff besides reading music!, this boy is extremely talented!, only thing she need to do is teach them how to read and that's all!!!, she should not waste her time on nothing else besides teaching them how to read music!
The only thing I'll believe is Jayden is a little midget,.. and he's really 25. And been on this earth a while already... and mom fooling us here.. because that lil man playing veteran chords
she got punked lol, but yes make that boy read music or he will be like the rest of the talented musicians cant get high profile jobs cause they cant read music.keep up the great work.
See this is the good side to not knowing how to read. There is nothing that tells him that a particular chord does not fit. I can read but my left hand is not that good. OMG.
THEIR IS NOTING WRONG WITH PLAYING BY EAR BECAUSE THAT IS A GOD GIFT ONLY. READING MUSIC IS OK BUT IT'S NOT THE DEAL BREAKER AT ALL IN MUSIC.IT'S ALOT OF PEOPLE THAT PLAY BY EAR THAT MAKES A GREAT LIVING.JUST KNOW NOTHING BEAT GOD GIFT EVER.I HATE WHEN PEOPLE THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO READ MUSIC 2 BE THE BEST WHEN GOD ALREADY BLESS YOU 2 PLAY ALL THAT YOU HEAR IN THE NAME OF JESUS.PLEASE DONT TRY 2 MAKE IT BE THAT HE WILL NOT HAVE A GREAT LIFE IF HE DON'T KNOW HOW 2 READ MUSIC.GOD GIFT IS THE BEST.
We learn to speak before we learn to read. We learn the complexities of language before we learn anything about tense, gender, or conjugation. This kid "speaks" music. Learning to read will only improve his understanding of the language and allow him to become a greater musician. Outstanding!!!

Oh...this brought tears to my eyes! God has blessed this young man with such a wonderful gift. Don't let the world pollute it!!
She lookin like" What am I suppose to do with him?" lol
No matter how many times I see this - I can’t watch this video without crying from the sheer beauty of it.
If i was his teacher and he walked in playing that I would be like, "...dang... I'm glad i know how to READ music. At least I got that...."
To be that young and be that fluent in mature gospel movements, didn't take a genius to realize the kid would be a monster 5 yrs later
I find this funny, imagine going for your first lesson and playing chords like that. Surely Miss Robinson didn't expect that.
Sherman Jackson well there is a difference tween being able to play n learning ur craft truley learning it

Seriously!!!

+Mike Smith lol...right
exactly!!! i think he scared her

Jeremy Magee Gotta agree with you there. That's when you know that they're playing from the soul.
Poor teacher just had a panic attack lol.
Young man, you don't need to read, you play from the heart. Do what your doing Jayden. Just incredible.
This dude play's like he does OMG what gift from God... I know right Ms. Music Teacher. Just WOW!
Jayden Blessed her life and she felt the annointing that God gave him lol that was priceless!

please enroll him in to the berklee college of music when he gets older. he is gifted

Awesome that his parents will start him to read...that will give him an advantage over many musicians....great job; great parents.....
Many CHURCH muscians, especially! Way too many black musicians in the church who can't even play out of a hymn book.
That's just a blessing. Truly a GIFT FROM GOD.. We all need to keep this young man lifted up.
Keep up the good work! God has blessed you with a gift! Use it for His glory and He will continuously bless you! Can't wait to see you in a few years and how much more of a beast you will b eon piano and organ!
"Okaaaay, I'm Ms. Robinson, and I quit." lol Thats something you cant teach.
This is a great video. I wished i would have learned to read music. There's so much music out there. Keep on playing Jayden.

Great to see him ..
Both hand lifted in the air WORSHIP *USE HIM LORD *
she's like I cant teach this boy nothing, hes better that me
Jayden wassup bro!! If you're in Atlanta you should get with Justin Gilbert!! You're amazing bro God bless you!
I'm glad he's moving towards formal training. It will do him well in the future.
4 years later I expect a video of him in the talent show playing piano lol
This definitely can't be someone's first piano lesson
You keep inspiring me man i wish i could play by ear that well but i think God that i can play at all.
She better get ready to learn something too! That's one thing I wish I did...I had teachers, but I didn't have anyone to really push me. And I'm crippled for it today. The ear is great...but an ear with theory and understanding...so much better. Keep it up lil' man...

READING MUSIC IS OK BUT IT'S NOT THE DEAL BREAKER AT ALL IN MUSIC.IT'S ALOT OF PEOPLE THAT PLAY BY EAR THAT MAKES A GREAT LIVING.JUST KNOW NOTHING BEAT GOD GIFT EVER.I HATE WHEN PEOPLE THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO READ MUSIC 2 BE THE BEST WHEN GOD ALREADY BLESS YOU 2 PLAY ALL THAT YOU HEAR IN THE NAME OF JESUS.PLEASE DONT TRY 2 MAKE IT BE THAT HE WILL NOT HAVE A GREAT LIFE IF HE DON'T KNOW HOW 2 READ MUSIC.GOD GIFT IS THE BEST.
