　　Marc Yu, a nine­year­old boy from California, has achieved more than most musicians do in their whole life.He has learned two musical instruments, played the piano at the most famous US concerts and won a couple of musical scholarship.

　　Marc was an unusual child even as a baby.At just six months of age, he would sit through a two­hour classical music concert.By the time he was two he started to read and sing Beethoven symphonies (交响曲)．While his mother thought this was unusual, she did not realize his musical gifts until he was at a friend's party and started to play a nursery rhyme on the piano.

　　With lessons from his mom and then a professional teacher, Marc's skills improved a lot.By the time he was five, he had learned another musical instrument - the cello (大提琴)．When he was just six and a half, he picked up a famous prize - the Davidson Fellowship in Music, which is usually given to musicians 18 or older.

　　After making his orchestra debut (初次演出) at the age of six, there has been no looking back for this musical genius.He is always traveling, either to perform at concerts or for piano lessons.

　　On August 31st, Marc will perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England, one of the world's most famous concert halls.He will be playing the piano alongside Lang Lang, a classical pianist, who has performed at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

　　While Marc, who is home­schooled, like his music very much and practices 5 － 6 hours a day, he is by no means a bookworm (书呆子)．He loves to play soccer with his friends and has a great sense of humor.
