Tiger Hongtai Bao is a 7-year-old pianist who has been studying piano for just over a year. He has a strong love for music and enjoys exploring the different sounds of the piano. He is especially fascinated by the contrast between staccato and legato playing.
Beyond his lesson pieces, Tiger enjoys discovering music from animated films and learning four-hand duets with his teacher. His sister is learning guitar, and he is excited about the possibility of performing together with her in the future.
Outside of music, Tiger loves animals, playing soccer, and building with LEGO. He is an enthusiastic and cheerful young boy who looks forward to playing more of the music he loves on his musical journey.
Watch Tiger Hongtai Bao perform Baby Bumblebee by Carol Matz on the piano for the 2025 Spring Music Competition as part of the Charleston International Music Competition.
