Eleven-year-old piano prodigy is on her way to Carnegie Hall (videos)
When she was nine, Daniela Leibman won a First Prize in the Young Artists Category at the International Russian Music Piano Competition with this performance of works by modern classical composer Nicolas Slominsky (video.) In October she’ll play Carnegie Hall.
The 11-year-old was born in Guadalajara, Mexico in 2002 to a Mexican mother and an American father that had music in their blood. She started playing the piano at the age of three and by the age of six became a professional musician, hence the word “prodigy”.
You can say it’s in the genes, her father is an accomplished violinist and her grandmother is a concert pianist. Her mother Maria Luisa Martinez, a native of Guadalajara, saw right away that even at the age of three she had a gift for understanding rhythm and possessed an excellent memory for music.

So you think you can dance? Peep the Magnificent Riflebird (video)
“The Magnificent Riflebird (Ptiloris magnificus) is a medium-sized (up to 34 cm long) passerine bird widely distributed throughout lowland rainforests of New Guinea and far Northeastern Australia. Males are polygamous and perform solitary courtship displays on a ‘dancing perch’. During these displays, the male fully extends his wings and raises his tail; he hops upward while swinging his head from side to side, showing off his metallic blue-green breast shield. Multiple females will observe these displays, and, if satisfied with the performance, reward the male with copulations.” …Wikipedia.
