"Child Prodigies" is a number of different recording artists from the Hazleton, Pennsylvania area, ages ranging from 13 to mid 20s. They are students of the DeMelfi School of Music and have either studied piano under the instruction of Danny DeMelfi, and/or voice under the instruction of Marian Kovascicks or Taylor Sappe , and/or Songwriting under the instruction of Taylor Sappe .

The CD album cover, showing downtown Hazleton, indicates that they are all recording artists in the greater Hazleton area. One of the artists lives in West Pittston, but studies music and records in Hazleton.

This is their debut album. There are more in the planning and production stages. The first album contains a variety of musical genres, like country, pop, dance, christian, new age, rock and more. Songs were written by the students, by Danny DeMelfi, by Taylor Sappe, and some were a collaboration of some or all of the above mentioned.

Wanna hear some of the Child Prodigies do cover songs?

6 of our Child Prodigies took some time from their busy schedules to record these cover songs. Check them out and come back here and drop us some comments on them. Each one will open in a new window to make it easier for you to get back here after listening.
