How do I get my kids to play the piano like this kid?

I came across a video of a kid playing the piano amazingly well.

I just started my four year old on piano classes. I would like her to play like this child. Do you think such talent is nurtured or just inbuilt?

The video was:

Who is this guy / this lecture?

I watched a lecture online and I completely forget what the site was and who the guy was giving the lecture, hopefully he’s well known and my description will help.

He was an older guy, white hair, british. He was kind of quarky but he was funny and knowledgable at the same time. He used a piano to demonstrate his points.

The lecture I watched was about classical music in modern society. He talked about how kids take piano lessons and develop their skills to make phrases more seamless with every year. He also plays a piece on the piano and talks about the emotion in it, and its this piece that I want to know and its why I want to find this video again. Thanks for the help
I remember now he had bushy eyebrows as well if that helps haha

Does anyone know where I can find this electronic keyboard?

About 15 years ago I came across a certain electric piano. It was small–perfect size for 1st-4th graders. It was black and above the keys was a list of a bunch of kids songs. You would type in the number of a song you wanted to play and the piano keys had little red lights that lit up showing you the correct keys to push so you could play that song. Does anyone know the brand or anything about this particular keyboard? Please only answer if you can help me. I’d really like to get something like this for my daughter. I know they have full size keyboards where the whole keys light up nowadays, but I’m not looking for something that big and that expensive. It’s for my 5 year old. Thanks
I appreciate the first two answers but I have gone to casio’s website. They don’t have anything specifically for younger kids like this. I have researched ebay and yahoo also. I haven’t found anything remotely like this. This product was made years ago. I posted my question on here because I’m interested in hearing answers from people who actually know of the exact keyboard I am describing.
