10-Year-Old Piano Prodigy

His mother loved classical music and played it for her son even before he was born. At two Marc Yu started playing piano and gave his first recital. Now he travels the world on concert tours, has played with China’s legendary Lang Lang, and appears on national talk shows with a personality as sparkling as his piano performances. But can a remarkable child have a “normal” childhood? And how will this phenom navigate the treacherous waters of adolescence? Val Zavala spends a day with Marc Yu and his mother to discover the boy beneath the prodigy.
