At 6 she composed her first piano sonata.
At 7, she completed a short opera.
At 9, she wrote a concerto for violin and orchestra.
At 10 she wrote her first full-length opera, which premiered in Vienna in 2016.
At 12 she premiered her first piano concerto.
The question is how did she manage to learn so fast ? let's find out.
She is educated at home. She was registered for school at 5 and attended 1 day, but reported feeling bored, upset, and untutored.
At 12 she explained to the Financial Times: "I think that I learn at home in one hour what it would take at school five hours to learn"
Her parents were led to choose home education by their belief that creativity requires both freedom and nurturing
Her early musical education focused on creative improvisation.
This is the power of unleashed human potential learning, based on creativity & productivity instead of school performance, uniformity, testing and grades.

Eugenics helps, she chose her parents well.
