As a child, he had already begun to show a passion for music. His mother has even stated music was the only thing to give Bocelli comfort. When he was six years old he began piano lessons. Other instruments he learned how to play were the drums, flute, guitar, saxophone, trombone, and trumpet. He also sang during his childhood as well. He won his first singing competition at 14 years old. Bocelli went on to study law at the University of Pisa in 1980.
