• 13 year old girl plays...
Some background info from her dad...
Lauren started playing piano at age 6 and it was clear she had a talent for it very soon after. I played her The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway when she was 12 and she was very impressed. She asked if I thought she could learn it. I told her I didn't see why not. We found the music online and she started working on it. It took a lot of practice to be able to play it up to speed. After that, it became a bit of a game to see how fast she could play it, after all, part of the appeal of the piece is that it's fast and technically challenging. The piano in the video is an electric with very quick action, which allowed her to play it much faster than she could on her piano at home. And so to answer all of the people who keep asking "why so fast?", I'll quote her uncle who used to get asked the same question about his guitar playing...
"I like to play fast for the same reason I like to drive fast, because it's fun!"
This performance was for a middle school spirit week assembly. She was asked to perform because she had won the school talent show with the same performance.
She now plays bass guitar in a band with her brother. They are called Spike The Media, and they have released two albums of progressive pop/rock music. spikethemedia.com

I am astonished that a 13 year old even knows this song! One thing's for sure: she's getting some good guidance from her parents. Well done!
How is that surprising?
@@MongerOfStrings8222 well that is because not many 13 year olds knows this song.
99% of the people there don't even know what she was playing.
Fr
She probably doesn't either.

How is that possible?
Exactly
A testament to the genius of Anthony George Banks.
It always amazes me what Tony was capable of creating. He is a genius as you say.
Yes, and Steve Hackett before him.
That's amazing! Great job! Guaranteed only about two people in the entire gym recognized the song.
@Lepus Arcticus I wouldn't bet on one person, except maybe the music teacher who set up the piano
I liked. She managed to get the feel of it. Tony would approve.
That’s most brilliant to hear a young girl playing Genesis ! Her dad must be a massive fan !
Kevin Leavy or mum
Great to see so many Middle Schoolers into Prog! Excellent job.
Most of them have zero clue what's being played
I’m around this girl’s age and can’t even play Mary Had A Little Lamb. Tony Banks is a genius.
😭 Me neither...
This music back in 1973 changed my life. Maybe it still does.
She's 12 years old, playing an amazing piece, and if she is showing off, SHE'S 12 YEARS OLD.
One of my favourite Tony Banks pieces. I love it when I see the younger generation appreciate old farts (like me) music and play it perfectly, even if is played a lot faster than original, it still holds up! It just goes to show great music is timeless. Well done little lady! Respect!
This is too cool. Great to see a young Genesis fan. Girl can play and even in flip flops! Really well done!
The future is guaranteed. Thanks
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...beautiful girl!!! what incredible talent!!! Best Wishes to this young lady!!!
I'm just happy that there are kids out there who know about this music. When I was 12 (and even younger) I was the only one who knew what "The Lamb" was out of all my friends - probably out of my entire school. Props for learning how to play that!
Amazing girl wow thank you keep going 🎉🎉🎉😊😊
Bolt out of the blue it appeared and those guys on the wooden seats got the glory of a lovely lady...Shine On Beautiful One...💕
All the sudden I want to hear The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway full album by Genesis !! Love this young lady .. well played, hope Tony Banks has seen this and thinks, 'wow' ! God Bless You young lady
Instantly the coolest kid in school:)
This makes me happy. Brilliant little musician!
it's amazing how she even knows this song, I'm thirteen now, and it's sad to see that nobody knows, or cares about these songs 😭
Betty it’s okay cause I’m 24 and I’ve met only bout 20 people who do in my state so give it time and make your own music!
well i’m 16 and to anyone i mention Genesis they assume I’m talking about the 80s 90s stuff
I would have to point out Betty, that since you know of this great music at the age of 13, and this girl playing the piano in a gym at the age of 12 knows it too, in the year 2023!, then I wouldn't think nobody cares about vintage Genesis anymore. Your generation is going to keep informing your peers of the great works of the past century! Your keeping it alive
Can't wait to see her play Colony of Slippermen!
When I was 13 I was playing Mary had a little lamb. Wow, she is wonderful.
You have the lamb in common.
Brilliant - extremely talented young girl. Well done.
And now a little lamb, plays a little lamb.
Great job.
Speachless! Absolutely Brilliant!
And the lamb...….
lies down....
on BROADWAY!!!
Early morning Manhattan,

Why do Americans have to squeal so much! We can't hear what's being played.
Unfortortunately it's probably in their DNA 🤣
@@markyork5839 American here. Your theory is correct - it IS in our DNA. Along with the ability to vote against our own interests.
The tiny percentage of Americans in that audience who do know this song are wondering the same thing.
@@markyork5839 my thoughts exactly ... recently saw a Steve Hackett live where they did that all over Horizons on acoustic guitar. Well their appreciation of poetry and subtlety tempered with passion... damp bored cynical silent crowds are also not so hot
Good, stay where you are, we don't want you
Lots of brilliant kids that are too young to play with feeling. Someday she will realize that music is not a race to see who can play the fastest. Can’t blame her for missing the point on this. Hope she keeps playing GENESIS though....
Yea but its cool
Peter Gabriel literally played it at this speed in his early solo concerts.
It's a shame that most of those kids in the audience have no idea that she's literally playing a legendary tune such skills like if Tony Banks had possessed her hands.
Excellent
Great job. I love that song and you played it awesome!
I would be proud to be her dad.
k, mind blown....AWESOME! Great job.
The cheering croud surprised me more than the song! It's as if they were great Genesis connoisseurs. :D Apart from that I'm now getting tips with kids playing old Genesis songs every time I open youtube. It's the algorithm trying to find what I liked before
And probably only one person knew what song it is
Freistudios And maybe it wasn’t even her! 😂
As the vanilia Genesis band fades away, their marterpieces are going classical.
This would put a smile on Tony Bank's face
Pineapples r tasty you don't know Tony 😂
Alex Dainese Seriously Tony almost never smiles and always seems bored and exhausted with everything hahahah.
Very cool :) Nicely done!
Love the lamp on top of the Keyboard, the same as Tony used to have it
we want more !! Brilliant
Brilliant💕I wanna listen to Firth of Fifth too.
I play both of them, everyday...
..and the Laaaaaaaaaamb Liiiiies Dooooooooooown, on Broooo oad waaaay!
People screaming when someone plays a part like that, needs to go away
@Karl Sinkovits you’re insufferable
Well done young lady!! I love this vid!!!
A lot of people imitate Tony Banks, but nobody will ever sound as good as Tony. Tony is a genius. He invented this technique. Bravo Tony.
Yeeeeaaaaahhh!!!! I hope at least some of those kids listening knew what song it was.
I dont care that she played it fast. I care that it sounded beautiful, and it did, so well done to you.
I wish people stopped making kids feel music is yet another competition in life. Too many of those around, music can exist without that sense of arrogance, and, believe it or not, most of the most beautiful music you hear comes from a very private, solitude, point of creation, with no aim to be "better than". Sorry for the rant, that "fast" on the title is just obnoxious.
Epic.
What a talent.
Im sure I've seen her playing the the Firth of Fifth also on Utube
And the other kids who are whooping for her, and don't know where that piece came from...
Wow!! Speed with feeling. Nice.
que gracinha! ainda bem que escolheu as músicas do melhor grupo do mundo: GENESIS!
Hey I know that song
yes you do and quite well
Hey Peter!!!!
Try singing that album now Peter, in the right key lol.
Holy wow!!! 6yrs later and I'll bet she's somehow even better!
Not even Banks played it this fast in the original recording. Regardless, this isn't easy at any speed. I give her props.
Oh no!!! Only 46secs. I wanted to hear her get right into it. Absolutely amazing feel for the music & the pulse of the song. Wow! Any chance of an extended version?
Er? Shit! Did you see that?! You’ll be telling me she can play note perfect Soft Machine and Van Der Graff Generator next?! This kid is too hip for words!!!!
incredible. For a 7th grader she surely got the right education at home !!
"....and the Lamb.......lies down.........on Broadway"
Idk why people are freaking out about this. It's extremley easy
Absolutely WOW!
Preacher At Arrakeen I had a good laugh on Your profile picture 😂😂😂👌
So, here's to all you "too fast" people that don't understand the idea of personal interpretation, feeling emotional dynamics, or just being nervous!? Here's Peter G (cant get more original than that) playing it as fast as he wants too... ua-cam.com/video/vd4aaoLE5co/v-deo.html
That's why I dislike that version too lol. However I think there's a difference between a personal interpretation and showing off your technical piano skills when you're 12-13 years old. ('cause I used to do that too back in the music school days)
Wonderful!
Talented!
Top girl! More!!
Wow! Just wow!
That's good. I only wish we could see the rest!
Bravo Bravo Bravo.
Et puis , quelle merveille musicale que ce morceau de Genesis !!!
💙💙💙
This clip is interesting. It shows what many of us believe when we start with music and instruments. Faster means better, when in reality speed just doesn't mean anything. Phrasing, expression, emotion, etc are more important imo.
Just to be clear i'm not hating on her though, good performance!
Great talent!
Amazing!!!
Timeless..
What a Great little girl !
She can easily knock out "That's All" and any Genesis after 1980. I wonder how much Tony Banks earned per note from "That's All" versus "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway".
I was watching video of someone playing this and my daughter became interested. She asked me if I thought she could learn how to play it and I told her I didn't see why not. She learned it and then some. :)
FANTASTIC
Why are they shouting? Can they not just listen ???
Probably just enthusiastic and cheering their friend. They're young, they know not the intricate and artistic genius that is the Lamb.
Americans...
That moment when I heard a drums coming in, but they're lacking on the video.
12 thumbs down were given out by the fast police. Lol
I'm with you !! Ridiculous !!!!!!!!!!
@@hillshepherd9444 I set the video play speed to 0.75 and it sounded much better!
Wonderful
Awesome!
Wow. Not a song I would imagine a kid would play.
Most excellent
I hope my daughter will play this stuff one day.
Awesome! 👍😎
Yeah, great teacher, virtuoso child ! This is music ! But tooooo short !
The intro to the song is short 😉
Sheesh - who cares if it's too fast. Some people here should check out early Genesis bootlegs when the band seemed to be playing as if they needed to catch a plane.
Great job!
.. and the Earth is a good place to live again!
Better than "Flight of the Bumblebee" !
respect
She must be the daughter of Tony Banks.
LOL great comment...she's good
She’s amazing!
The screaming adds a lot, don't you think?
Yes it'sw fast, too fast but nice performance for a 12 Yo girl !
unbelievable,, what made you learn this track.. I'm 50 and have always wanted to lear the intro..
Beautifully done, ask any Genesis fan. And this was 4 years ago, what on Earth is she like now?
here's to hoping she didn't "develop" like the band later did :(
+Caetano Silveira Now she plays Justin Bieber.
Caetano Silveira
I couldn't agree more!
@@canturgan Perish that thought! By now she's probably playing Live Over Europe.
Whoa!
Increíble
15 notes a second!
