Not every day do you come downstairs and discover that your son is a gifted pianist, right?!
Jude Kofie, 11, surprised his father one morning by playing the keyboards as if he had taken lessons for years.
"I was here watching the news when I heard him play something,"
Isaiah Kofie, Jude's father
Jude Kofie, an 11-year-old autistic child from Aurora, Colorado (US) with a natural affinity for music, couldn’t believe it when a grand piano was delivered to his house. Wow! Neither could his parents.
Jude demonstrated a remarkable talent no one anticipated when he discovered an old keyboard and, without any lessons, began playing.
The piano was a gift from Bill Magnusson, a piano tuner who had seen a report about Jude on the news.
"He’s Mozart level," Magnusson said.
After being moved by Jude’s story, Magnusson said he thought to himself, "What resources are left over to help this special little soul?"
He then used his father’s inheritance to purchase the piano and had it delivered to the family’s home. He also promised to tune the piano once a month for the rest of his life and pay for Jude to get professional lessons. I'm so touched! What a kind man!
"All for free - who does that?" - the boy’s father said. And he add that the family is "super thankful."
"We’re family now," - added Magnusson.
