Edward started classical piano training, and won talent competitions as a child (although during a radio interview on Q106.5 in Illinois he said that he can not read music). Indeed, Edward claims that one of the first things his parents did upon arriving in America was to seek out a piano teacher for him and his brother, drummer Alex Van Halen.
