When you walk through a mall, it’s a pretty ho-hum experience. Sure, you might see some cool stores and places to get new shoes, but usually there isn’t much going on.
But when Sara Hadley was visiting her local mall, she heard something utterly amazing. A piano was set up as part of Lansing, Michigan’s Keys in the Cities program and a teen had sat down at it.
He soon amazed everyone within earshot.
This is why they put a piano in the #lansingmall. Self taught!! #yiruma. Wow. Gave me goosebumps!!

As it turns out, Monntel West is an 18-year-old self-taught piano player. He was simply passing the time with some practicing while he waited for his friend to arrive.
It’s not every day that you see a teenager possess that amount of insane talent. And self-taught at that!
Since the video went viral, West has been contacted by tons of people with offers of free lessons — how great is that? They want to foster along his incredible talent.
