6-Year-Old Girl Steals Hearts With Delicate Cover Of Audrey Hepburn Song

Mar 31, 2020

Recently, a six-year-old girl recorded a performance for an online video. The song she sang was “Moon River,” and her version was beautiful. She even played guitar as she sang.

If you’ve spent any time near a first-grade classroom, you know that young children love to sing. A six-year-old breaking out in song shouldn’t be at all unusual. What is surprising, however, is her choice of repertoire.

At an age when many of her peers are working hard to remember all the words to “Old MacDonald” or the tune to “London Bridge,” six-year-old Miumiu chose to sing “Moon River.” This Henry Mancini masterpiece became a phenomenal hit when it was featured in the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Its soaring melody is a musical challenge for singers of all ages.

This six-year-old singing sensation handled the tune like a pro, lifting spirits as her voice soared to all the right notes. Miumiu has the voice of an angel and a marvelous memory for the words. A professional performer would be hard-pressed to match her vocal rendition of “Moon River.”

What was even more astounding about her performance was Miumiu’s guitar playing. Many six-year-olds learn the ukulele to prepare for later guitar studies. This young dynamo already has guitar skills that rival those of older children and some teenagers.

When the video was posted, many members of the online community had good things to say about her. A professional musician stated that Miumiu’s performance was as good as any they had given throughout their 50-year career. Another poster stated that “If Henry Mancini wasn’t in Heaven already, you just put him there with a giant smile on his face.”
