He quickly showed a natural talent for the instrument and began performing in public at the age of eight. He continued to study the piano throughout his childhood and teenage years, and by the time he graduated from high school, he had already won several awards for his performances. After high school, Fischer attended the Juilliard School in New York City, where he studied under some of the most renowned piano teachers in the world.
