Ferris plays three pieces by heart. He chose not to use the music on paper. The last one he composed himself. Ferris, now eleven-years-old, started playing the piano when he was nine. It turned out he had a remarkable gift. Very soon he was able to reproduce music on the piano he had only heard once. On top of that, he composes his own pieces for the piano. He dreams of going to the Dutch Academy of Music to become a professional composer.
