Being a prodigy at one instrument is impressive as it is, but Wyndham’s own Vivaan is a virtuoso of both the drums and piano.
It might be worth mentioning that he is only seven years old.
At the Oz Schools Instrumental Championships (OSIC) National Finals Competition, Vivaan secured a double first place, winning top performer in both drums and piano.
While his win may have come on 29-30 November, father Vivek Agarwal said his dedication is present 365 days of the year.
“With his dedication, hard work and confidence, he poured in all that he could in preparation for the event,” Mr Agarwal said.
“In the journey of six weeks, he successfully turned around the state finals results where he had secured third place for both drums and piano to successfully securing the first place for both instruments.”
In June, Wyndham council awarded Vivaan with a grant for International Make Music Day, where he conducted a drumming workshop for more than 30 children.
Mr Agarwal said Vivaan was very proud and honoured to win.
“He says it feels very good. Amazing. Especially because he had muddled a few things at his piano concert a day prior but was able to do everything properly on competition day,“ he said.
“He says he loves to create different melodies and tunes. He finds it quite soothing and fun.“
Vivaan’s musical dream is to share his love for music with others by opening a music school some day and his parents dream of him performing in large stadiums.
