But when Milen Manoj Earath says he wants to be a unison pianist, he knows what he is articulate about. The youngest Indian (at 14 years, 3 months) to finish a FTCL in pianoforte – a march offering by Trinity College, London, that is homogeneous to post-graduation – he perceived a National Child Award for Exceptional Achievement in a margin of song from President Pranab Mukherjee in Nov 2016.

Honing immature talent
“I favourite song from a really immature age and was introduced to Western Classical song by my parents, who are both doctors,” says Milen, who has recently finished his Class 10 exams. With an early seductiveness in sports, along with winning prizes in diction and storytelling in primary school, Milen saw a grand piano for a initial time when he visited his grandparents in Russia. Milen’s mother, Alena Vladimirovna Earath, is Russian, who took him to a song propagandize for a programme. “Milen got trustworthy to a piano, and began training Beethoven’s Marmot and Fur Elise, a dual pieces he had listened a children play there. By a finish of dual weeks, he was personification them effortlessly,” recalls Milen’s father Dr Manoj Earath.

On his lapse to India, Milen began his grave training in piano in Thrissur and shortly started a initial class during Trinity College. Within a year and a half, he had finished all 8 grades in pianoforte with eminence and privileged a dual levels of hearing before his FTCL with equal ease.
The immature pianist’s breakthrough impulse came when he won Musiquest in Pune in 2013. An all-India piano competition, he won a initial place in a modernized multiplication for ages adult to 25 years. Soon, he was invited for personal classes with Professor Heribert Koch, boss of European Piano Teachers’ Association Germany, who continues to learn him when Milen travels to Germany during his propagandize vacations, and differently guides him by Skype.

At a show in Mumbai, he will play Gaspard de la nuit by Maurice Ravel and Islamey op 18 by Mily Balakirev among other pieces by Tchaikovsky, Chopin and Beethoven. Milen has been practising for 8 to 9 hours daily. So, how does he conduct academics with his passion? “My propagandize has been supportive. we am authorised to come home an hour earlier, so we can concentration on my piano practice,” Milen shares.
Staying encouraged in a nation where training Western Classical song isn’t common comes with a challenges, though that hasn’t deterred Milen, who uses a Internet to keep himself updated. “When we play a square of Classical song on a piano, we am mostly asked that film it is from,” smiles Milen. “But afterwards we share other interests with people of my age like personification football and listening to complicated songs.”
