Jeremiah Travis, 5, is not an ordinary boy used to playing video games or playing with toys. He has been “beating on stuff” since he started beating on his ABC blocks as a baby. __ Travis' cousin noticed the boy’s talent and presented him to the band of St. Helena College and Career Academy. There the 5-year-old became a snare drummer. "Sometimes, I don't teach him a part because I think he might not be able to play it. Next thing you know, we start playing a cadence, he just starts playing it and I'm amazed,” said Brandon Dorsey, percussion instructor at the school. "What he has, it is God's gift...When he graduates...he has a bright future.” Impressing with his talent and devotion for drumming, at age 5, Travis has already been granted a full band scholarship at Alcorn University, Mississippi - 13 years before his high school graduation. __ #whizkid #childinnovators #innovations #younginnovators #genius #invention #neokids #drummerboy #drummers #drummerlife #prodigy #alcornstateuniversity #talentedmusicians #talentedkids
